PCafe × Claude CodeThe HTML slide deck plugin for Claude Code

PCafe is a plugin in its own Claude Code marketplace, carrying the pcafe skill. Once installed, ask for a deck in any folder: Claude Code creates a project, writes into the templates, runs the check, looks at the screenshots and hands you one offline HTML file.

Install in Claude CodeSee sample decks

Step one

Install PCafe in Claude Code

  1. In Claude Code, run the two commands below: add the PCafe marketplace, then install the plugin.
  2. Run /reload-plugins or start a new session.

Afterwards, open a new chat and ask what the pcafe skill does. If it can tell you, the skill is loaded.

/plugin marketplace add Web-Casa/pcafe

or

/plugin install pcafe@pcafe

Step two

Working with Claude Code once it is installed

  • Say “make a deck with pcafe…”, or type /pcafe:pcafe to call the skill directly.
  • Inside a PCafe project, CLAUDE.md and .claude/skills apply on their own, plugin or not.
  • Ask to see the screenshots: qa/ holds one per slide, and you can steer changes from them.

A prompt to copy

Using the pcafe skill, turn docs/q3.md into a 12-slide quarterly review for leadership in the editorial style. Use only facts from the document and cite them. Tell me when npx pcafe check prints PASS and you have looked at every screenshot.

Naming the file, the audience, the length and what counts as done helps far more than “make it look nice”.

Why PCafe

Why use PCafe for slides in Claude Code

Fixed templates that hold their layout

Claude Code only writes your content into PCafe’s 270-plus open-source templates; layout, type sizes and colour come from the template, so the deck doesn’t change shape every time.

Delivered only at PASS

Every slide has text limits. Overflow, overlap and tiny type fail the check, and Claude Code trims or splits slides and checks again until PASS.

One offline HTML file

The result is one HTML file that presents with a double-click and no network; it also exports to PDF and editable PowerPoint.

Questions

PCafe × Claude Code: questions

Plugin or copying the skill?

Same content. The plugin installs with one command and upgrades through /plugin; copying the folder into ~/.claude/skills/ works too, but you update it yourself.

Is PCafe free?

The open-source version is free for personal and commercial work and keeps a “Made with PCafe” credit. Pro adds 11 paid template packs and lets you remove the credit.

Can I get a PowerPoint file?

Yes. Have Claude Code run npx pcafe pptx <name>; the text comes out as editable text boxes. PDF export works too.

Do I need Node.js?

Building the HTML needs Node.js 20.19 or later, and Claude Code runs the npx commands. Without it, the skill falls back to a storyline and a slide-by-slide outline.

How do I install on Windows?

The npx skills command works in PowerShell too. The unzip one-liners are for macOS and Linux; on Windows, download pcafe-skill.zip and extract it into the matching skills folder under your user folder, for example %USERPROFILE%\.agents\skills.
