PCafe × OpenClawThe HTML slide deck skill for OpenClaw

OpenClaw loads skills from the workspace skills/ folder and ~/.openclaw/skills/. With pcafe installed, describe the deck in chat; it builds the project on your machine, writes, checks and sends you the file.

Install in OpenClawSee sample decks

Step one

Install PCafe in OpenClaw

  1. Install with the first command (npx skills), or unpack into ~/.openclaw/skills/ (all workspaces) with the second; use a workspace’s skills/ for one.
  2. Start a new session so OpenClaw loads it.

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

npx skills add Web-Casa/pcafe -s pcafe -g -a openclaw -y

or

mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills && curl -fsSL https://p.cafe/downloads/pcafe-skill.zip -o /tmp/pcafe-skill.zip && unzip -oq /tmp/pcafe-skill.zip -d ~/.openclaw/skills

Step two

Working with OpenClaw once it is installed

  • In any chat connected to OpenClaw, say “make a deck with pcafe” and attach the material.
  • Ask it to send back the HTML from dist/ and an exported PDF.
  • Recurring weekly or monthly reports can run on a schedule with the same templates.

A prompt to copy

Using the pcafe skill, turn notes/weekly.md into a 6-slide weekly report in the minimal style. After PASS, export a PDF and send me both files.

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 OpenClaw

Fixed templates that hold their layout

OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw 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 × OpenClaw: questions

On a server?

Yes, as long as it has Node.js 20.19 or later. The screenshot check uses a headless browser; no display needed.

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 OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw 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.
