What problem does it solve?
Creating professional PowerPoint presentations manually is time-consuming and requires design expertise, while editing existing .pptx files programmatically is technically complex due to the OOXML format. This Skill eliminates both barriers by providing a complete workflow for generating, modifying, and analyzing presentations, including specialized support for academic paper-based slides via LaTeX Beamer.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Presentation Generation: Create new .pptx files from scratch using a design system with 15+ themes, or build from existing templates while preserving layouts and design.
- Editing & Analysis: Modify existing presentations by unpacking OOXML, editing XML directly, and repacking with validation.
- Academic Routing: Automatically detect paper-based presentation requests and route them to a Beamer module for PDF output with LaTeX.
- Use Case: A researcher uploads a PDF paper and asks for conference slides; the Skill extracts figures, writes Beamer LaTeX, compiles to PDF, and handles all numbering and navigation automatically.
Quick Start
Use the ppt skill to create a new 10-slide presentation about quarterly business results using the Ocean theme and export it as a .pptx file.
