open-slide: Open-source framework lets coding agents build slide decks with React, hits 8.6k stars
tom_doerr · x · 2026-10-02
open-slide, a trending GitHub project (8.6k stars, 605 forks), bills itself as "the slide framework built for agents": you describe the deck in natural language and your coding agent writes the React, while open-slide handles the fixed 1920×1080 canvas, scaling, navigation, hot reload, and present mode.
Key points:
- Each slide is an arbitrary React component, not a constrained DSL
- Exports to HTML, PDF, and PPTX
- Ships Claude Code skills and AGENTS.md conventions; scaffold with npx @open-slide/cli init
The idea: slide-making becomes code-writing, which agents are already great at.
