SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the blocker of generating PowerPoint deck files in headless managed-agent or CMA environments where live Microsoft Office applications are not available, enabling you to deliver presentation artifacts as file outputs without manual Office interaction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Headless .pptx Generation: Creates PowerPoint files directly on disk using the python-pptx library, no need for an open Office instance.
  • Template Support: Uses your firm's custom presentation template if one is mounted at ./templates/, otherwise falls back to default slide layouts.
  • Consistent Formatting: Follows the same one-idea-per-slide conventions as the live pitch-deck skill for professional, standardized outputs.
  • Use Case: For example, if you are running an automated investment research workflow and need to output a valuation summary deck as a file for client distribution or downstream processing, this skill generates the .pptx directly without manual effort.

Quick Start

Use the pptx-author skill to generate a valuation summary .pptx deck from your financial model data and save it to the ./out/ directory.
