What problem does it solve? Working with PowerPoint files programmatically is error-prone: templates break, placeholders linger, and slides render with overlapping elements. This Skill provides a complete workflow for reading, editing, and generating .pptx decks with built-in QA verification. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Content Extraction: Extract text from any .pptx file with markitdown, generate thumbnail grids, or unpack raw XML for deep inspection. - Template-Based Editing: Unpack existing presentations, duplicate or reorder slides, edit slide XML in place, clean orphaned files, and repack with schema validation. - From-Scratch Generation: Build new decks with pptxgenjs, including charts, tables, icons, images, and styled shapes, guided by curated color palettes and typography rules. - Use Case: Given a branded template deck, replace all placeholder content with quarterly results, add a sales bar chart, then render slides to images and run visual QA to catch overflow or alignment issues before delivery. ## Quick Start Use the powerpoint skill to create a five-slide pitch deck about our product launch with a dark title slide and a metrics chart.
