Marp

Output Format:

• Markdown with .marp.md extension
• Editable PowerPoint (.pptx) via marp-cli conversion

How It Works

The marp presentation generation process has three key components:

1. Content Input Processing

Analyzes input to determine content type and structure:

• Accepts file paths or raw text strings
• Identifies diagram needs (flowcharts, sequence diagrams, etc.)
• Detects data visualization needs (charts, graphs)
• Maps content to appropriate layout components
• Applies theme-based styling and structure

2. Theme System

Theme files stored in ~/.claude/skills/marp/themes/:

• theme-mywork.css (default): Contains pre-built components
• Custom themes can be specified by name or path
• Components include:
  • .columns-3: 3-column layouts with headers and boxes
  • .timeline: Horizontal timeline with phases
  • .boxlayer: Label/content paired boxes

3. Two-Phase Output Generation

Phase 1: Markdown Generation

Creates Marp-formatted markdown with:

• Frontmatter: marp: true, theme, paginate settings
• HTML structure using theme components
• Special libraries loaded for diagrams/visualizations
• Saved as .marp.md file

Phase 2: PowerPoint Conversion

Converts markdown to editable PPTX using marp-cli:

• Preserves layout and styling
• Creates editable PowerPoint slides
• Maintains theme consistency
• Output has same name but .pptx extension
