SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of building polished PowerPoint decks by automating slide creation as a file artifact, so you can produce pitch decks, IC memos, and earnings notes without driving a live PowerPoint session.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Headless deck creation: Builds .pptx files on disk with python-pptx instead of requiring an open presentation app.
  • Template-aware branding: Loads a firm template when available so slides inherit the right layouts, fonts, and colors.
  • Model-backed precision: Traces every slide number back to the source workbook and supports workbook-bound summaries, tables, and charts.
  • Use case: Create a valuation deck where the football field, tables, and key metrics are generated from model outputs and saved for delivery.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to create a PowerPoint deck in ./out using the available firm template and source workbook values, then return the saved .pptx file path.

Frequently Asked Questions about pptx-author

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a PowerPoint presentation from financial model data without opening PowerPoint?▼

Headless PowerPoint generation creates .pptx files directly on disk using python-pptx, bypassing the need for a live PowerPoint session. It automates slide creation for pitch decks and IC memos by rendering financial model data into formatted presentation files.

Can I use a firm template to build a pitch deck with python-pptx?▼

Yes, python-pptx supports loading firm templates so generated slides inherit predefined layouts, fonts, and colors. This template-aware branding ensures pitch decks match corporate visual standards automatically without manual formatting adjustments.

How do I trace slide numbers back to a source workbook in a financial presentation?▼

Model-backed precision links PowerPoint slide values directly to source workbook data, ensuring every number traces back to its financial model origin. This supports workbook-bound summaries, tables, and embedded chart images rendered from source data for full auditability.

What is the best way to automate valuation summary slides with a football field chart?▼

Automate valuation summary slides by generating them as file artifacts with python-pptx, which renders football field charts, data tables, and key metrics directly from financial model outputs. The resulting .pptx file is saved to disk for immediate delivery.

Do I need Microsoft PowerPoint installed to create earnings notes or board materials?▼

No, Microsoft PowerPoint is not required. The Skill builds presentation files headlessly on disk using python-pptx, completely removing the need for an active PowerPoint application session to generate earnings notes or board materials.

What are the limitations of generating PowerPoint files with python-pptx for financial presentations?▼

A limitation of generating PowerPoint files with python-pptx is that charts must be embedded as rendered images rather than native PowerPoint chart objects. Additionally, complex template layouts require a properly configured firm template file to function correctly.
