The Decky slide library holds professionally designed slide templates (KPIs, processes, timelines, matrices, comparisons, charts, agendas …) and template decks (whole storylines, such as a board review). It is the same library as in the Decky PowerPoint add-in. Slides built from the library cost 1 credit, compared with 10 credits for a slide built from scratch.

Two ways to use it

Let create_deck use it

create_deck builds slides from library templates on its own where one fits. Nothing to do: it’s on by default (use_library).

Pick and fill

Find a deck or single slides with search_library, choose them, and have Decky fill them with fill_templates.

Search, pick, fill

1

Ask for a deck or slides from the library

“Find a deck in the Decky library for our quarterly board review.”
“Show me Decky library slides for a five-step rollout plan and a KPI overview.”
Your assistant calls search_library. Each result comes with a thumbnail. In clients that show interactive cards, such as claude.ai and Claude Desktop, the results appear as a library picker with slide previews.
2

Pick what to fill

Choose a whole deck, and leave out slides you don’t need, or pick single slides in the order you want them. In the picker, choosing doesn’t spend credits: it sends your choice to your assistant.
3

Give your assistant your material

Attach or paste your figures, tables, notes, and quotes. Your assistant reads them and passes what the slides need to Decky as context, up to 100,000 characters. Decky never sees the files themselves.
4

Decky fills the slides

Your assistant calls fill_templates. With a deck, Decky plans the storyline: it drops slides your material can’t support and repeats a slide where needed (at most twice). Templates are filled in the order you picked. Every text slot is written from your material, charts use only real data from it, and picture slots get a picture from the Decky library. The slides are placed into your master.
5

Review what to confirm

When the deck is done, your assistant tells you which facts are placeholders and what your material lacked, and gives you the download link. In clients that show interactive cards, the deck card lists them next to previews of the finished slides.

”To confirm” placeholders

Where a slide needs a number, name, date, or quote that your material doesn’t give, Decky writes a visible placeholder on the slide instead of inventing one. The placeholder names what’s missing:
You find them in three places: To resolve them, replace the placeholders in PowerPoint. Or send your assistant the missing facts and fill the slides again. That is a new job and costs credits again.
Chart slides need real series data. A chart slide without usable data in your material is left out of a deck’s storyline (report.dropped) or skipped (report.skipped). Include the numbers behind any chart you want.

Credits

Failed or canceled jobs are refunded in full. If no slide can be filled at all, the job fails and is refunded. See Credits & Plans.

Limits

Your own and your organization’s decks

Besides Decky’s built-in decks, search_library lists your own library decks and, for work accounts, your organization’s shared decks. Only slides that are Decky templates can be filled: a deck’s fillable_slides shows how many.
