What problem does it solve? Building or editing .pptx slide decks programmatically is error-prone: text overflows, fonts drift from theme defaults, charts pick the wrong type, and decks ship with placeholder tokens or clipped content. This Skill provides a complete workflow for creating, reading, editing, and quality-checking PowerPoint files through the officecli CLI, with enforced design standards. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Deck creation and editing: Add slides, shapes, text runs, charts, tables, pictures, connectors, animations, hyperlinks, comments, and zoom navigation via XPath-style element paths. - Reading and analysis: Inspect decks with outline, annotated, text, issues, and stats views; query elements with CSS-like selectors; render HTML/SVG previews for visual audits. - Design enforcement: Built-in typography hierarchy, font pairings, color palettes, chart-choice rules, layout patterns, and a QA gate that blocks delivery until overflow, contrast, and placeholder issues are fixed. - Use Case: Ask for a quarterly business review deck and get a branded multi-slide .pptx with a cover, section dividers, chart slides with commentary cards, speaker notes on every slide, and a validated final file. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a five-slide pitch deck about your product as a .pptx file with a dark cover, one chart slide, and speaker notes on every slide.
