Can I generate PowerPoint slides from an existing template?▼

Yes, you can generate new PowerPoint slides from an existing template by providing a PPTX file and requesting deck creation. The skill applies templates and layouts to assemble the presentation structure deterministically.

What's the best way to automate combining and reordering slides across multiple decks?▼

The best way to combine and reorder slides across multiple decks is to provide the PPTX files and request structural operations. The skill duplicates, splits, merges, or reorders slides across presentations and repacks the output into a PPTX file.

Does this PowerPoint automation tool require Python dependencies to run?▼

Yes, this PowerPoint automation tool requires Python dependencies including defusedxml for safe XML parsing and Pillow for image processing. These libraries enable deterministic script execution and safe file I/O when reading or editing PPTX decks.

How do I update speaker notes in a PPTX file without opening PowerPoint?▼

To update speaker notes in a PPTX file without opening PowerPoint, provide the file and specify the notes modification. The skill edits speaker notes and comments via included scripts, then re-packs the updated presentation into a PPTX file.

What are the limitations of automating PPTX deck workflows with scripts?▼

Limitations of automating PPTX deck workflows with scripts include a focus on structural and text-based operations rather than complex visual rendering. It enforces deterministic script execution and safe file I/O, which may restrict dynamic or non-standard template manipulations.
