Setup guide

Install Conversation to Slides

Add the skill to Claude once, and it turns any conversation into clean, measurable slides whenever you ask.

About 5 minutes One-time setup For Claude on the web

Before you start

Conversation to Slides is a Claude skill. It works on Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, and needs Claude's code execution turned on (that's Step 1).

Have your conversation-to-slides ZIP ready — the file containing the skill folder with its SKILL.md inside.

Don't unzip the file. Download the file and upload it exactly as-is — don't open, extract, or re-compress it first. Unzipping and re-zipping (especially on a Mac) rearranges the internal structure and adds hidden files, which stops the skill from loading correctly. If you want to look at the contents, make a copy and retain the original unopened and unchanged.
1

Turn on code execution

Open Settings → Capabilities and switch on Cloud code execution and file creation — the description even notes it's required for skills. Skills won't appear until this is on. On Team and Enterprise plans, an organization owner enables this in Organization settings.

Turn it on

Your new skill appears in the list with a toggle. Switch it on. Off means Claude ignores it — the most common reason a freshly added skill seems to “do nothing.”

Try it

Open any chat, think something through or paste your material, then say: “Turn this into slides.” There's no button and no command — asking is what runs it.

If something's off

No Skills section?

Code execution isn't on. Go back to Settings → Capabilities and enable it. On Team or Enterprise, ask your organization owner.

Added it, but nothing happens?

Two things to check: the skill's toggle is on, and you actually asked for slides — say “turn this into slides” in the chat.

Upload rejected?

The ZIP must contain the skill folder with its SKILL.md inside, and the folder name should match the skill name.
