SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

PPT-heavy presentations often suffer from inconsistent chart choices, unclear data mappings, and brittle rendering across decks. This skill provides a formal chart-engine and contract-based guidance to select chart types, enforce data contracts, and render charts consistently in PPT HTML slides, reducing rework and ensuring visual coherence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Chart selection algorithm that maps data to appropriate chart families (line, bar, heatmap, bubble) and decides when to fallback to HTML/CSS layouts.
  • Data contracts and thinking contracts that standardize required fields, null policies, and layout constraints for reliable rendering.
  • Rendering guidance and assets (charts.yml) that drive deterministic chart configurations, quality gates, and example templates for slides.

Quick Start

Provide a tidy dataset and ask the engine to generate the LINE chart and a related heatmap within a PPT layout.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate chart selection for PPT presentation slides?

Automating chart selection for PPT presentation slides involves mapping your tidy dataset to appropriate chart families like line, bar, heatmap, or bubble using a contract-based engine. This ensures consistent rendering and reduces manual rework.

What is a data contract for presentation chart rendering?

A data contract for presentation chart rendering standardizes required data fields, null policies, and layout constraints. It ensures reliable, deterministic chart configurations and consistent visual coherence across HTML slides.

How do I generate a line chart and heatmap in a PPT layout?

To generate a line chart and heatmap in a PPT layout, provide a tidy dataset to the chart engine. The engine applies constraint checks and layout fallback workflows to render both charts consistently.

When should I use HTML or CSS layouts instead of standard charts in presentations?

You should use HTML or CSS layouts instead of standard charts when the chart engine's constraint checks identify rendering limitations. The engine automatically decides when to fallback to these layouts for complex data.

Can I enforce null policies and data mappings for chart-heavy presentations?

Yes, you can enforce null policies and data mappings for chart-heavy presentations by applying formal thinking contracts. These contracts drive deterministic configurations and ensure visual coherence across decks.

What are the limitations of using a contract-based engine for slide charts?

Limitations of a contract-based engine for slide charts include strict adherence to defined rendering constraints and data contracts. You must provide tidy datasets that satisfy these explicit null and layout policies to avoid rendering failures.
