What problem does it solve? Working with PowerPoint files programmatically is error-prone: templates break, placeholders linger, layouts look generic, and visual defects slip through without inspection. This Skill provides a complete workflow for reading, editing, and creating .pptx decks with built-in design guidance and mandatory QA. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Read and analyze decks: Extract text with markitdown, generate thumbnail grids, or unpack raw OOXML for inspection. - Template-based editing: Unpack a .pptx, duplicate or reorder slides, edit slide XML, clean orphaned files, and repack with schema validation. - Create from scratch: Build decks with pptxgenjs including charts, tables, icons, images, and slide masters, guided by curated color palettes and typography rules. - Use Case: Given a branded template and a content outline, produce a polished pitch deck, then render slides to images and run a visual QA loop to catch overflow, overlap, and contrast issues before delivery. ## Quick Start Use the powerpoint skill to create a five-slide pitch deck from my outline and then visually verify every slide for layout problems.
