How to use it
Take claude-office-skills/md-slides from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference npm.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
