SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Placing visual assets in PowerPoint decks often leads to licensing violations, distorted images, raster content disguised as editable vectors, and essential information locked inside images. This Skill enforces a disciplined workflow for choosing, verifying, and positioning supporting visuals so slides stay editable and legally sound.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Asset Selection & Verification: Choose icons, images, SVGs, diagrams, or infographics only when they improve comprehension, and confirm local path, source, usage rights, and alt text before placement.
  • Placement Rules: Apply explicit inch bounding boxes, aspect-ratio preservation, deliberate z-index ordering, and captions placed beside images rather than over them.
  • Editability Safeguards: Reject raster images wrapped in SVG, and recreate essential labels, legends, values, and process steps as native PowerPoint objects.
  • Use Case: While building a quarterly report deck, you need a process diagram. The Skill verifies the diagram's license, places it without covering text, and recreates its key metrics as native editable shapes.

Quick Start

Add the approved icon set from the assets folder to slide three of my PPTX deck, keeping all labels as editable text.

Frequently Asked Questions about pptx-visual-assets

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I add images to a PPTX slide without distorting them?

Place the image in an explicit bounding box that preserves its native aspect ratio through fit or intentional crop-to-fill. Keep captions in adjacent space rather than over the image, and ensure the asset never covers readable text.

How do I check image licensing before using assets in a presentation?

Record the asset's local path, source URL or provider, usage rights, and concise alt text before placing it. If rights or provenance are unknown, omit the asset and report the gap rather than using a placeholder.

Can I use SVG files as editable visuals in PowerPoint?

Use SVG only when the source is a clean vector. Never wrap a raster image in SVG and treat it as editable; instead recreate essential text, legends, and values with native PowerPoint objects.

When should I not add a visual asset to a slide?

Omit an asset when it does not improve comprehension, when rights or provenance are unavailable, or when placement would leave zero or negative space or cover readable text. Report the gap instead of inserting a placeholder.

Why should infographic content be recreated as native PowerPoint objects?

Infographics are supporting visuals only, and essential information locked inside an image is not editable or accessible. Recreating labels, legends, metric values, and process steps as native objects keeps the deck editable while the infographic provides visual support.
