open-slide 1.1.1 adds current-slide skill

The May 10 release teaches agents to read the active slide, page, and selected element from `node_modules/.open-slide/current.json`, so deictic edits like “this slide” work without a browser. It also adds live agent-watching badges and tightens the inspector/comments workflow.

// ANALYSIS

This is the right kind of agent feature: boring plumbing that removes a whole class of context drift.

  • Publishing slide state over Vite HMR turns the dev server into a lightweight source of truth, so agents do not need screenshot parsing or browser automation.
  • The `current-slide` skill re-reads `current.json` on each deictic turn, which matters because slide editing is full of references like “this page” and “that element.”
  • The new “Agent connected” and “Agent is watching” badges make the workflow visible to humans, not just models.
  • The pattern is reusable beyond slides: small state file, explicit agent skill, minimal token overhead.
  • This pushes open-slide further into agent-native tooling rather than just “presentation software with AI.”
