slide-design

Turn a topic or outline into a designed, varied Figma Slides deck via the slide-mcp plugin (the create_deck MCP tool). Aim for decks that look composed — vary layouts deliberately, keep copy tight.

How to generate

Call the `create_deck` MCP tool with { replace?, theme?, slides: [...] }. The slide-mcp plugin must be open in Figma Slides (its panel shows "Connected"). Set replace: true to recreate the deck from scratch; omit to append.

If create_deck isn't reachable, the plugin isn't running / connected — ask the user to run it (Plugins → Development → slide-mcp). Advanced/no-Copilot path: node server/generate.mjs deck.json (stop the MCP server first; restart after).

Workflow

1. Outline 6–14 slides. Arc: cover → agenda → (section → content/chart/…)* → closing/statement.
2. Pick a layout per slide by content shape (catalog below). Use ≥ 5 different layouts.
3. Tight copy: one idea per slide, bullets ≤ ~12 words, ≤ 5 per slide.
4. Choose a design system (theme.preset) — or leave it and the plugin's selected

default applies. Don't switch systems every slide (per-slide override is for the occasional accent slide).

Layouts (layout) — 47

Omit layout to auto-detect (title-only → cover/section; else content). Image URLs may be any https image (PNG/JPEG/GIF). Charts read a number out of value.

Design systems (theme.preset) — 17

Light: light (default), sky, ocean, emerald, forest, warm, sunset, rose, plum, indigo, mono, paper (serif). Dark: dark, midnight, graphite, carbon, royal.

Each bundles a 6-color palette (+ font for some). Override individual colors with theme.accent/background/titleColor/bodyColor/secondaryColor/surfaceColor, font with theme.font. Per-slide override: set slide.theme.preset on a single slide (e.g. a dark section in a light deck). If you omit theme.preset, the design system selected in the plugin panel is used as the default.

Example (abridged)

{
  "replace": true,
  "theme": { "preset": "indigo" },
  "slides": [
    { "layout": "cover", "kicker": "2026 Q3", "title": "プロダクト戦略", "subtitle": "..." },
    { "layout": "agenda", "title": "Agenda", "bullets": ["現状", "課題", "打ち手", "効果"] },
    { "layout": "stats", "title": "現状", "items": [
      { "value": "12k", "label": "MAU", "desc": "前年比 +40%" },
      { "value": "68%", "label": "継続率", "desc": "30日" } ] },
    { "layout": "line", "title": "成長", "items": [
      { "label": "Q1", "value": "120" }, { "label": "Q2", "value": "210" }, { "label": "Q3", "value": "360" } ] },
    { "layout": "compare", "title": "Before / After", "items": [
      { "title": "Before", "bullets": ["手動", "遅い"] }, { "title": "After", "bullets": ["自動", "即時"] } ] },
    { "layout": "statement", "body": "アウトラインから、デッキへ。", "subtitle": "まとめ" }
  ]
}

Checklist

• ≥ 5 different layouts; no slide is a wall of text (long lists → two-col / cards / split).
• Numbers → stats/big-number; trends → line; parts-of-whole → donut; processes → steps/timeline; A vs B → compare.
• One design system for the deck (per-slide override only for emphasis).
• Cover first; a closing or statement last.
