Prompt to paste

Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/NomaDamas/slides-grab/blob/HEAD/skills/slides-grab-card-news/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/slides-grab-card-news, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

slides-grab Card News Skill

Use this when the user wants card news instead of a widescreen presentation.

Goal

Reuse the existing slides-grab plan/design/export workflow, but generate square outputs optimized for Instagram posts. Per-slide PNG is the default export since Instagram and most card-news distribution channels consume images, not PDFs.

Workflow

Reuse the normal outline process from slides-grab-plan.
During design and review, keep every card at 720pt x 720pt and run:
- slides-grab validate --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news
- slides-grab build-viewer --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news
- slides-grab edit --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news
During export, default to per-slide PNG for Instagram-ready output:
- slides-grab png --slides-dir <path> --slide-mode card-news --resolution 2160p
- Optional --output-dir <path>/out-png to choose the output folder (defaults to <slides-dir>/out-png).
Only produce PDF/PPTX/Figma when the user explicitly asks for it:
- slides-grab pdf --slides-dir <path> --slide-mode card-news --output <name>.pdf
- slides-grab convert --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news --output <name>.pptx (experimental / unstable)
- slides-grab figma --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news --output <name>-figma.pptx (experimental / unstable)
Remind the user that PPTX/Figma exports remain experimental / unstable.

Rules

Optimize layouts for square Instagram-style card news, not 16:9 slides.
Default the export to slides-grab png --slide-mode card-news; only switch to PDF/PPTX/Figma when the user explicitly requests it.
Reuse existing design, viewer, editor, and export policy wherever possible.
Do not implement SNS/Instagram publishing automation.
Use the packaged CLI and bundled skills only.
