What problem does it solve? Working with PowerPoint files programmatically is error-prone: decks end up with broken XML, leftover placeholder text, misaligned layouts, and slides that were never visually checked. This Skill provides a complete workflow for inspecting, editing, generating, and verifying .pptx files so decks come out correct and well-designed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Template-Based Editing: Unpack a .pptx into readable XML, add/remove/reorder slides safely with helper scripts, edit content, and repack into a valid file. - Programmatic Deck Generation: Build brand-new presentations from scratch using pptxgenjs, with guidance on layouts, color palettes, typography, charts, tables, and icons. - Content Extraction & Visual QA: Extract all text with markitdown, generate thumbnail grids, render slides to images via PowerPoint COM or LibreOffice, and run structured fix-and-recheck review cycles. - Use Case: You receive a corporate template and need a 12-slide quarterly report. Generate thumbnails to pick layouts, unpack and edit the XML, repack the deck, render every slide to images, and verify no placeholder text or visual defects remain. ## Quick Start Use the pptx skill to build a five-slide project status deck from scratch and render each slide as an image for review.
