FAQPage Schema
How do I capture screenshots of Slidev slides for visual context?

Yes, Slidev slide screenshots can be automated. The workflow starts a dedicated Slidev dev server on a random high port to avoid conflicts, navigates to the target slide, locks the browser, and captures the screenshot automatically.

Where are the captured Slidev screenshots saved?

Captured Slidev screenshots are saved directly to the deck's public folder. Specifically, the output file is saved as decks/{deckName}/public/slide-{slideNumber}-screenshot.png for immediate use in image generation or design review.

Why use a random port when taking Slidev deck screenshots?

A random high port is used when starting the Slidev dev server to avoid port conflicts. This ensures the automated browser can reliably connect to the dedicated server instance and capture the slide screenshots without interference.

Can I use these Slidev screenshots for image generation and design review?

Yes, the captured Slidev screenshots are explicitly designed for image generation and design review. By copying the rendered slide images to the public directory, they provide visual context for guiding design iterations across decks.

What do I need to automate Slidev screenshot capture?

To automate Slidev screenshot capture, you need a local Slidev environment running your deck. The Skill handles the rest by starting the dev server, launching a browser to navigate the slides, and exporting the images to your public directory.
