# Bolt open sources Bolt Slides for any coding agent By Steven Van · 2026-07-16 The MIT-licensed library turns a single prompt into a shareable React deck, complete with a skill file that teaches Claude Code, Codex or Cursor how to Bolt just open sourced Bolt Slides, the presentation system behind its slide-building workflows, and pointed it at a bigger audience than its own users: any coding agent. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Bolt itself can now compose full presentation decks from a prompt, using an MIT-licensed component library and a bundled skill that teaches the agent how to do it well. The pitch from the announcement is blunt: agents can now make slides you couldn't even imagine before. [Source post](https://x.com/i/status/2077770386444341332) ## Every deck is a working web app The core idea separates Bolt Slides from PowerPoint generators. A deck isn't a file you export, it's a live React application: each slide is a plain React component, the whole thing is responsive on any screen, and you share it as a link. That means real typography, real animations, embedded product demos that actually run, and deep links to individual slides via URL hashes. Under the hood it still behaves like a classic paged deck, in the style of Slidev, with keyboard navigation, a grid overview, and click-to-build reveals through a `<Build>` component. ## The skill is the interesting part Shipping components is easy; shipping judgment is not. The repo bundles a skill file (`.bolt/skills/slides/SKILL.md`) that teaches whatever agent opens the project how to theme a deck, pick layouts, compose sections, and write the content, down to setting the tab title and favicon. That's what makes the "any agent" claim real: point [Claude]() Code or Codex at the repo, prompt something like "build me a deck pitching X to Y," and the skill carries the design taste so a single prompt returns a finished, presentable app instead of a pile of components. It's also a notable data point on where the ecosystem is heading. Skills started as an Anthropic convention for packaging expertise for Claude; Bolt shipping one as the interface to an open-source library treats them as a cross-agent standard. ## What's in the box The library covers the meeting-room feature set you'd otherwise rebuild by hand: - **20+ components**, structural (Cover, Agenda, Section), data (Charts, Table, StatGrid), and narrative (Quote, Timeline, Steps). - **Presenter mode** in a synced second tab, with a timer, next-slide preview, and editable speaker notes kept in sync via BroadcastChannel. - **Annotations**, pen, highlighter, and shapes that anchor to content, so drawings stay in place across responsive layouts and persist per slide. ## How to try it The code lives at [github.com/stackblitz/bolt-slides]() under an MIT license. The fastest path is opening the repo in Bolt and prompting for the deck you need; locally it's a clone plus `npm install && npm run dev`, and any agent with filesystem access can work from the bundled skill. For creators, this turns "make me a pitch deck" into the same kind of one-prompt job that landing pages became this year, with output you can present, share as a URL, or keep iterating on like any other codebase. ![Bolt.new]() Bolt.new AI coding platform that builds full-stack websites and apps from text prompts, with databases, auth, and deployment built in.
