SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of producing polished PowerPoint (.pptx) files—by guiding extraction, template-based editing, slide creation from scratch, and visual QA to prevent broken layouts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read & extract PPTX content: Pull text and inspect structure using tools like markitdown and PPTX-specific scripts.
  • Template-based deck editing: Unpack a template, analyze slide layouts, edit slide XML, then clean and repack while preserving structure.
  • Create from scratch: Generate decks using PptxGenJS when no reference template exists.
  • Visual + content QA loop: Convert slides to images (via LibreOffice + pdftoppm) and systematically check for overflow, overlap, spacing, contrast, and leftover placeholders.
  • Practical design guidance: Provides concrete slide design rules (color palettes, spacing, typography, layout variety, and anti-AI design mistakes).

Quick Start

Use the pptx skill to update a deck from a template file 'template.pptx' into 'output.pptx'.
