What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you reliably generate new .pptx presentations, edit existing ones, and analyze slide content (including text, layouts, themes, and speaker notes) without manually reverse-engineering Office files.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Read and analyze PPTX content: Convert PPTX to markdown for text extraction, or unpack OOXML to inspect raw XML for comments, speaker notes, slide layouts, animations, and complex formatting.
- Create presentations from scratch: Build PowerPoint slides from HTML via an html-to-PPTX workflow, using placeholders for charts/tables and validating layout/overflow visually.
- Edit existing presentations safely: Unpack OOXML, modify XML files directly, validate against the original, and repack into a corrected PPTX package.
- Use templates efficiently: Extract template text, generate thumbnail grids, create a required slide inventory, outline the new deck with slide-to-template mapping, then duplicate/reorder slides and replace text precisely.
Quick Start
Use the pptx skill to unpack the attached .pptx file into OOXML so you can update slide XML safely.
