What problem does it solve?
Presentation files are fragile and editing or generating PPTX decks often produces OOXML corruption, layout regressions, or missing assets that break in PowerPoint. This Skill consolidates deterministic generation, safe XML-level edits, automated repairs, and a mandatory visual QA loop so teams can deliver reliable, production-ready slides without repeated manual troubleshooting.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Unpack & Edit: Expand PPTX to pretty-printed XML for targeted structural edits and template adaptation.
- Repack & Repair: Condense and reassemble XML into a valid PPTX and fix common pptxgenjs OOXML bugs that cause PowerPoint repair dialogs.
- Generate Decks: Guidance for producing decks with pptxgenjs and safe practices to avoid corruption (color formats, shadows, object mutation).
- Thumbnailing & Visual QA: Convert slides to images via LibreOffice and Poppler, compose thumbnail grids, and support a background visual-review workflow.
- Workflow Example: Use the scripts to unpack a template, apply structural changes, run content and visual QA, fix issues, and repack a validated PPTX.
Quick Start
