Slidev for Agents / Agents for Slidev

Background

Slidev's architecture is inherently well-suited for agentic slide generation. Here are some current attempts (suggestions for missing ones are welcome):

• https://01.me/en/2026/01/ai-agent-projects-2026spring/#PPT-generation-Agent (Source code) (Haven't been able to contact the author yet)
• https://autoslides.app/
• Direct editing via coding agents (e.g., Claude Code)

LLM capabilities in coding and visual understanding have reached a point where automatic slide generation is becoming truly practical. We no longer rely on complex prompts and fragile workflows—with the right tools and APIs, building effective agents is now much more feasible.

Key Problems

1. Agents need to understand Slidev's syntax and how to manipulate it. This has been generally addressed via #2141 and #2447.
2. Agents need to "see" the current state of slides to make iterative adjustments. Current approaches likely rely on inefficient methods like repeated slidev export.

Proposals

• Preview Mode for Agents: A command that starts a headless browser instance which continuously exposes APIs for screenshots, DOM inspection, and other actions.
• Native Agent: An official/built-in agent for Slidev.
