The Claude Skill That Turns Slides Into Consulting-Style Design
Default Claude writes great content. The slides still look AI-generated. This free Skill replaces that output with slides that hold up in a management room.

What this Skill is
Anthropic recently released Skills for Claude. We built one that turns Claude's slides into consulting-style design, for free.
Default Claude writes great content. The slides still look AI-generated: text in boxes, no hierarchy, nothing that holds up when you put it in front of a CEO. This Skill replaces that output with the kind of work that usually takes a designer days.
What it can do
- Turn rough ideas into professionally designed slides
- Significantly improve the design of slides you already have
- Convert photos of your sketches into proper, polished slides
- Switch between different design styles depending on the audience and context

Install A Design Rendering Engine For Slides
The Skill writes design instructions; a separate rendering engine turns them into finished PowerPoint slides. Click the button below to open Oria directly in PowerPoint, authorize the install if prompted, and complete the quick one-minute sign-up.
Open Oria in PowerPoint
Launch the add-in install flow directly in PowerPoint.
Button didn't work? Try opening Oria directly in PowerPoint again.
Install the Skill into Claude
In Claude, open the left sidebar and click Customize. Go to the Skills tab, click the + button, choose Create skill → Upload a skill, and select the file you just downloaded.
Activate the Skill in Claude
Open a new conversation inside the project. Reference the Skill explicitly in your prompt — for example, "Use Oria skill" — so Claude loads it before producing the slide.
Generate the slide in PowerPoint
Paste your content (rough ideas, a slide you already have, or a sketch) into Claude. Claude returns design instructions in the Skill's format. Open PowerPoint, paste those instructions into Oria, click Text to Slide, then select the slide design you like. It will be added to your deck as a fully editable PowerPoint slide.
What else this design tool can do
The Skill plugs into Claude, but the underlying design engine lives inside PowerPoint. Once Oria is installed, you can use it directly without going through Claude.
Improve a slide you already have
Drop in a slide that already has the right content but the wrong design. The tool returns the same content with proper hierarchy, balanced spacing, and a layout the audience actually reads.
Turn rough ideas into a slide
Type the point you want to make. The tool builds the supporting structure — issue tree, 2x2, waterfall, journey, whatever fits — and renders it as a finished slide.
Convert sketches into slides
Take a photo of a whiteboard or a notebook page. The tool reads the layout you drew and produces a polished version in PowerPoint, with real shapes, real type, and real alignment.
