SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires defusedxml, lxml, Pillow, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Many workflows require creating, editing, inspecting, or converting .pptx presentations but tooling is fragmented and error-prone. This Skill centralizes reading, unpacking, template-based editing, visual QA, and generation so users can automate slide creation, template adaptation, and content extraction without manual XML fiddling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read & Extract: Extract text, speaker notes, and raw slide XML for analysis or reuse.
  • Edit & Template Adaptation: Unpack a PPTX, apply template-based slide mapping and content edits, then clean and repack a valid .pptx.
  • Create from Scratch: Generate new presentations programmatically (pptxgenjs guidance) or using templates stored in the skill.
  • Visual QA & Thumbnails: Convert slides to images and create thumbnail grids for visual inspection and iterative fixes.
  • Validation & Packaging: Validate and auto-repair Office XML, remove orphaned resources, and safely pack unpacked directories into final .pptx files.
  • Use Case: Turn a rough draft of talking points into a branded 12-slide pitch using a saved company template, run visual QA, fix layout issues, and produce a validated deliverable.

Quick Start

Create a new presentation from the template vendas.pptx titled "Q2 Results" and save it as q2_results.pptx.
