# Markdown Slides Skill

## Overview

This skill enables creation of presentations from pure Markdown using **Marp**. Write slides in familiar Markdown syntax and export to PDF, PPTX, or HTML with professional themes.

## How to Use

1. Write or provide Markdown content
2. I'll format it for Marp with proper directives
3. Export to your preferred format (PDF/PPTX/HTML)

**Example prompts:**
- "Convert my notes to a presentation"
- "Create slides from this markdown"
- "Build a pitch deck using markdown"
- "Generate PDF slides from this outline"
