render_slidesRender a Slidev presentation from markdown and return its hosted URL. IMPORTANT: Before calling this tool, you MUST call get_theme with the theme name you plan to use. Each theme has unique layouts, components, and frontmatter options. Apply the theme's specific features in your markdown to produce high-quality slides that match the theme's design. If the user has not specified a theme, call lis
list_session_slidesread-onlyLook up presentations by UUID. Returns URLs, themes, and timestamps for each requested presentation. The server does not track which presentations belong to a conversation, so pass the UUIDs you got back from render_slides. Unknown UUIDs are omitted.
list_themesread-onlyGet a list of all available themes with style descriptions and recommendations. Call this to decide which theme to use. Returns a guide organized by style (dark, academic, modern, playful, etc.) with "best for" recommendations. After picking a theme, call get_theme with the theme name to read its full documentation (layouts, components, examples) before rendering. This tool does NOT display any
browse_themesread-onlyShow the user a visual theme gallery with preview images. ONLY call this when the user explicitly asks to SEE or BROWSE themes visually (e.g. "show me the themes", "what do they look like", "let me pick a theme"). This renders an interactive gallery in the user's UI. To show a filtered subset (e.g. only dark themes), first call list_themes to identify matching themes, then pass their names here.
get_themeread-onlyGet full documentation for a specific theme: layouts, components, and examples. Call this BEFORE render_slides to learn the theme's unique features. Each theme has different layouts, components, and frontmatter options. Use what you learn here to produce high-quality, theme-specific slides. This is the primary tool for preparing to render slides. When the user specifies a theme, call this direct
get_slidev_guideread-onlyGet the Slidev syntax guide: how to write slides in markdown. Returns the official Slidev syntax reference (frontmatter, slide separators, speaker notes, layouts, code blocks) plus built-in layout documentation and an example deck. Call this once to learn how to write Slidev presentations.
export_slidesExport a presentation as a downloadable PDF. Returns a URL to download the PDF.
screenshot_slidesread-onlyRender all slides as PNG images and return them. Use this to visually review a presentation. Returns one image per slide so you can see exactly what each slide looks like and give specific feedback.
