Readable Speakerdeck

Fetches a SpeakerDeck slide deck by extracting the public PDF URL from the slide page (WebFetch), downloading it via curl, and running pdfvision — typically with --render on image-heavy pages so the slides can be read visually. Use when the URL is in the form speakerdeck.com/{user}/{slug}.

SpeakerDeck Slide Reader

Steps

1. Fetch page info with WebFetch

Use WebFetch to load the slide page and extract the PDF download URL.

  • Form: https://files.speakerdeck.com/presentations/{id}/{filename}.pdf

2. Download the PDF

curl -L -o /tmp/slide.pdf "{PDF_URL}"

3. Extract the PDF contents

Prefer pdfvision — slide decks are often image-heavy, and pdfvision's density Overview surfaces the pages where --render is needed for multimodal review:

npx pdfvision /tmp/slide.pdf
npx pdfvision /tmp/slide.pdf --render -p {pages-with-low-coverage}

If only a Claude Code-style multimodal Read tool is available, Read /tmp/slide.pdf also works.
