create-slidelisted

Create editable PowerPoint slides or whole decks with SlideForge. Use when the user asks to make a slide, deck, presentation, dashboard slide, chart slide, QBR/board exhibit, or anything that results in a .pptx file. Structured intents render deterministically with a fidelity manifest (verbatim vs ai_completed); briefs work too. Requires the slideforge MCP server (or the REST API).

# Create slides & decks SlideForge is a compiler: a slide is a typed intent (`form` + typed content fields) rendered deterministically into native, editable .pptx — no LLM in the render path. $0.05/slide, usable-or-free; identical input re-renders free. ## The reliable path (use for real content) 1. **Pick the form.** `browse_catalog` lists 150+ patterns (kpi_metrics, waterfall_bridge, gantt_plan, funnel, org_structure, data_table, comparison_matrix, timeline_roadmap, …). Unsure? `plan_slide` with a one-line brief returns ranked candidates, free. 2. **Get the contract.** `browse_catalog` with `type=schema` + the form returns the JSON Schema **and a copy-pasteable example intent**. Start from the example; swap in the user's real content; keep the advertised field names exactly. 3. **Dry-run.** Send the intent with `dry_run: true` → `status: validated` + a `fidelity_forecast` at $0. If `errors[]` come back, each carries a machine `code` and a `remedy` — fix and re-dry-run. Never pay to discover a validation error. 4. **Render.** Same payload without `dry_run`. The response embeds a preview PNG inline, cost, and the **fidelity manifest**. The editable file downloads separately (see below). For a whole deck: ONE `create_deck` call with `slides[]` (a list of create_slide intents). Parallel render, one merged pptx, per-slide fidelity rollup; failed slides are isolated and free.
