2Slides Agent Skills: Automate AI Slide Workflows with MCP, Codex, and Claude Code

AI can write a decent outline for a deck in seconds. But turning that outline into a polished, brand-consistent, editable PPTX—reliably, repeatedly, and at scale—is still hard.

That’s why 2Slides Agent Skills exist.

They give your AI agents (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, etc.) a set of production-ready tools—so your workflow becomes:

brief → agent → skills → editable PPTX output

This post explains what 2Slides Agent Skills are, why they’re the right abstraction for slide automation, and how to use them to build workflows that marketing, sales, and product teams can trust.

What are 2Slides Agent Skills?

2Slides Agent Skills are reusable, agent-friendly “tool definitions + integration docs” that let AI agent frameworks call 2Slides as a dependable slide engine.

Instead of asking a model to pretend it’s a presentation designer, you let it do what it’s best at (reasoning + writing) and delegate slide construction to skills that are built for:

structured slide layouts
theme/template control
editable PPTX output
consistent results across runs

Think of it like function-calling for presentations: your agent plans the story, the skills generate the deliverable.

Why skills beat one-shot prompting for decks

One-shot prompts like “make me a pitch deck” are fine for demos, but they tend to break in production because:

Output format isn’t guaranteed (you get text, not a real deck)
Design consistency is fragile (layout drifts between runs)
Brand + template rules are hard to enforce
Automation is unreliable (retries, validation, pipelines)

Skills fix this by making slide creation deterministic and testable—the same way mature engineering teams treat PDF generation, invoices, or reports.

How 2Slides Agent Skills work

At a high level, the workflow looks like this:

Input: brief / doc / notes / CRM fields / knowledge base
Agent reasoning: outline → narrative → slide mapping
Skill calls: generate slides + apply themes/templates + export
Output: editable PPTX deck + assets (images/links)

Why MCP matters here

If your stack supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), skills become even more valuable:

less glue code
fewer custom wrappers
easier multi-model routing
cleaner ops and maintenance

MCP is the “standard connector” that makes tool-based agents scale.

Core capabilities you get and why they matter for SEO & growth

1) Editable PPTX output (not a screenshot)

For real-world business workflows, editability is non-negotiable.

Growth teams need to:

tweak value props late
swap pricing or metrics
apply brand rules
localize quickly

2Slides is built around PPTX output so humans can review and polish without forcing the agent to regenerate everything.

2) Template and theme control

Instead of hoping the model “keeps a consistent style,” skills let you bind generation to actual templates/themes.

That’s the difference between "looks okay" and "ship-ready".

3) Automation-ready workflows

Skills are designed for repeatable automation:

scheduled reporting decks
sales enablement updates
customer-specific decks
multi-language training

When you can produce decks reliably, you can repurpose content faster—which compounds SEO and distribution.

Real-world use cases

Use case A: Blog/landing page → pitch deck

Turn existing content into decks that follow a consistent narrative structure.

Use case B: Multilingual training decks

Generate localized decks while keeping layout stable and readable across languages.

Use case C: Batch-generated weekly reports

Pull data, summarize, and export decks on a schedule—ready for internal updates or customer reporting.

Using 2Slides Agent Skills in OpenClaw

If you want to run slide-generation workflows straight from chat (Telegram/WhatsApp/Discord/iMessage) with a self-hosted agent gateway, OpenClaw is a great fit.

OpenClaw (https://openclaw.ai/) lets you host your own always-on assistant and connect it to your messaging apps, with tool use, sessions, and memory—so your “deck generation agent” can run from anywhere, on your own hardware.

What this enables

Trigger a deck workflow from chat: “Generate a 10-slide pitch deck from this doc”
Keep context across messages (per-sender / per-thread sessions)
Combine multiple tools: fetch a brief → generate slides via 2Slides → export PPTX → send back the link
Run the same workflow repeatedly (sales enablement, weekly reports, training decks)

High-level setup

Run OpenClaw Gateway on your machine or server (Node 22+).
Connect a chat channel (Telegram bot, WhatsApp bridge, etc.) so you can message your agent from your phone.
Add the 2Slides Agent Skills to your agent environment (from GitHub or PickSkill):

Configure credentials for 2Slides in the way your agent runner expects (API key / env vars).

Example prompts (copy/paste)

From a brief to a deck

Use 2Slides skills to generate an editable PPTX pitch deck (12 slides). Audience: B2B SaaS buyers. Include problem → solution → product → pricing → roadmap → CTA.
Template-controlled generation

Generate the deck using a clean minimal theme. Keep typography consistent, avoid dense paragraphs, and prefer diagrams or bullets.
Batch workflow

For each item in this list, generate a 6-slide one-pager deck and return downloadable PPTX links.

Note: exact tool names/steps depend on the agent platform you run behind OpenClaw (Claude Code / Codex / Cursor). The main idea is consistent: OpenClaw routes your chat message to an agent, and the agent calls 2Slides skills to produce the PPTX.

Getting started

FAQ

Are 2Slides Agent Skills only for developers?

No. Developers integrate the workflow; operators and growth teams benefit from repeatable, reliable deck production.

Can I use this with Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor?

Yes. The /skills page links to common agent platforms and explains how to load and run skills.

Do I get editable PPTX files?

Yes. PPTX is the core output format.
