Use Copy Prompt with your coding agent.

You have a PPT or PPTX

Give the agent the source file and a writable project folder. It should preserve the original PowerPoint, extract its structure and assets, then rebuild the content as a Slidev project before continuing the design.

You already have Slidev

Open the folder that contains slides.md and package.json, then paste the prompt there. The agent should inspect the existing theme, components, assets, and scripts before adding or replacing slides.

You have an empty folder

Use a dedicated writable folder. The agent can initialize Slidev in that folder, install dependencies, create the requested block or deck, and verify that it runs without touching unrelated files.

You have no folder or no write access

First create or select a dedicated folder and open it in your coding agent. If the agent cannot write there, it must say so and provide a file plan instead of claiming the project was saved. Continue only after you grant access or choose another folder.

1. Create and save

Paste the Copy Prompt into a coding agent that is opened on your project folder. A saved project is a real set of files on disk—not only a preview or chat response.

slides.mdcomponents/styles/public/package.jsonREADME.md

2. Run and check

Ask the agent to install dependencies and use the scripts in package.json. It should report the exact project path, preview URL, command, and any errors—not just say “done.”

npm installnpm run devnpm run build

3. Reopen and continue

Later, open the same folder in your editor or coding agent and say what you want to change. The agent should read the existing project first and continue from those files instead of generating an unrelated replacement.

4. Build and export

Keep the web project as the editable source. Build it for web delivery, or ask the agent to verify the project's PDF/PPTX export command. A Slidev PPTX export is image-based; animations and interactions remain available only in the web deck.

npm run exportnpm run export -- --format pptx
