SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python-pptx, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the extraction of critical HEAL (Highlights, Emerging Issues, Lowlights, Priorities, Actions) content from PowerPoint presentations, eliminating manual copy-pasting and ensuring consistent formatting for reporting. It saves significant time and reduces errors in data transfer.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Content Extraction: Parses PowerPoint slides to identify and extract HEAL sections from various table and text layouts (e.g., Gloria, Shafts & Winders, N3).
  • Standardized Output: Formats extracted data into clean, bulleted text files, ready for further analysis or seamless integration into consolidated reports.
  • Site-Specific Handling: Adapts extraction logic for different presentation structures used by various mining sites, ensuring accurate data capture regardless of layout.
  • Use Case: A user receives weekly HEAL reports in PowerPoint from multiple sites. Instead of manually extracting each point, they can ask Claude to "extract HEAL text from Gloria for Week 16" and instantly get a formatted text file for their consolidated weekly report.

Quick Start

Extract HEAL text from the PowerPoint for Gloria, Week 16.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract HEAL content from PowerPoint presentations automatically?

Extract HEAL content by identifying Highlights, Emerging Issues, Lowlights, Priorities, and Actions from PowerPoint slides using layout-specific parsing. The Skill detects table structures (Gloria 4x2, Shafts & Winders, N3) and outputs formatted text files, eliminating manual copy-pasting across week-based PPTX files.

Can I extract HEAL data from multiple PowerPoint layouts and sites?

Yes. The Skill handles site-specific table layouts including Gloria, Shafts & Winders, and N3 structures, adapting extraction logic for each presentation format. It deduplicates content and standardizes bullet-point formatting across different site configurations.

What PowerPoint table formats does this handle for HEAL extraction?

The Skill supports Gloria 4x2 tables, Shafts & Winders multi-table layouts, and N3 structures. It detects layout type automatically, extracts all five HEAL categories from each format, and validates content to ensure accurate data capture regardless of presentation design.

How do I consolidate weekly HEAL reports from multiple PowerPoint files?

Extract HEAL text from each site's weekly PowerPoint (specify site and week), then combine the formatted text outputs into a single consolidated report. The standardized bullet-point format ensures consistent structure across all extracted files for seamless integration.

What file format and encoding does the extracted HEAL data use?

Extracted HEAL content is output as UTF-8 encoded text files with standardized bullet-point formatting. This ensures compatibility with reporting tools and eliminates encoding issues when consolidating data from multiple PowerPoint sources.

Does this work with python-pptx for custom PowerPoint automation?

Yes. The Skill uses python-pptx as its core dependency for parsing PowerPoint files. It applies this library to detect HEAL table layouts, extract structured content, and validate results, making it compatible with other python-pptx-based automation workflows.
