Custom Slides Project Skill

Customizes the Slides core plugin navigation, styles, and behavior. This plugin extends the built-in Obsidian Slides functionality, providing finer control over presentation aesthetics and transitions.

Core Architecture

• Extension Layer: Primary logic interfaces with and modifies the behavior of the built-in Slides plugin.
• CSS Customization: Uses styles.css (3KB) to provide specialized presentation themes and transition overrides.
• Navigation Logic: Includes logic to modify or extend the standard slide navigation controls.

Project-Specific Conventions

• Desktop Only: Optimization and scope are limited to the Desktop Slides implementation.
• Core Plugin Dependency: Development requires deep understanding of the internal Slides plugin DOM and event structure.
• Presentation Focus: Prioritizes "Presentation Mode" UX over standard editor settings.

Key Files

• src/main.ts: Main entry point for slides customization and navigation logic.
• manifest.json: Plugin identification and Desktop-only constraint (custom-slides).
• styles.css: Slide deck themes and transition styles.
• esbuild.config.mjs: Standard build configuration.

Maintenance Tasks

• Core Sync: Slides is a core plugin; audits are required after major Obsidian releases to ensure selectors haven't changed.
• Style Overrides: Verify that custom styles are correctly prioritized over default Slides CSS.
• Navigation Testing: Ensure custom navigation controls remain functional in full-screen presentation mode.
