SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python-pptx, Pillow, playwright, sharp, pptxgenjs, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the end-to-end PowerPoint workflow by enabling programmatic PPTX creation, editing, and analysis, reducing manual errors and repetitive tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated PPTX creation: generate new decks from data and templates.
  • Batch editing and replacement: extract inventory, update slides, and apply replacements across multiple files.
  • Template-driven layout management: inventory-based analysis to guide slide design, reordering, and speaker notes.

Quick Start

Install the required tooling (Python libraries and Node.js tools) as described in this repository. Then generate a text inventory for a PPTX by running:

  • python inventory.py path/to/presentation.pptx path/to/inventory.json
  • python scripts/replace.py path/to/presentation.pptx path/to/replacements.json path/to/output.pptx
  • python scripts/thumbnail.py path/to/presentation.pptx

Frequently Asked Questions about pptx

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate PowerPoint content creation from data and templates?▼

Automated PPTX creation generates new presentation decks programmatically from data and templates. This skill uses Python scripts and an HTML-to-PowerPoint pipeline to build slides, reducing manual errors and repetitive formatting tasks.

What is the best way to batch edit and replace text across multiple PowerPoint files?▼

Batch editing and replacement extracts a text inventory from PPTX files, applies JSON-based replacements, and outputs updated slides. The process uses Python scripts to automate updating text across multiple presentation files efficiently.

How does the HTML-to-PPTX pipeline work for generating slides?▼

The HTML-to-PPTX pipeline converts HTML layouts into PowerPoint slides using Node-based tooling. It leverages Playwright for rendering, Sharp for image processing, and PptxGenJS to generate the final PPTX file format.

Do I need Python and Node.js to run this PPTX automation workflow?▼

Yes, this workflow requires both Python and Node.js environments. Python handles PPTX inventory extraction, replacement, and thumbnail generation, while Node.js drives the HTML-to-PPTX rendering pipeline using Playwright and Sharp.

Can I generate grid thumbnails for PowerPoint slides to validate layouts?▼

Yes, grid thumbnail generation creates visual previews of PPTX slides to validate template layouts. The thumbnail script processes presentation files using Python and Pillow to output images for layout verification.
