slides-extract

You can extract design layouts, archetypes, color palettes, and fonts from PowerPoint templates by analyzing .pptx files to generate structured JSON artifacts like resolved_manifest.json and design-profile.json for downstream presentation generation.

A design contract in presentation design is a structured artifact containing layouts, archetypes, and theme information extracted from a .pptx file. You need it to enable automated AI presentation generators to produce consistent and accurately branded slides.

Yes, this Skill uses python-pptx to analyze .pptx templates and extract color palettes, fonts, and layout rules. It outputs a design-profile.json file that serves as an essential artifact for preparing templates for automated slide building.

To prepare a branded PowerPoint template for an AI presentation generator, run a template analysis to extract its design elements and layout rules. This process produces a resolved_manifest.json file that standardizes the design contract for consistent content generation.

The extraction process focuses on capturing layouts, archetypes, and theme information from existing .pptx files. It requires python-pptx and uv dependencies, and its primary limitation is that it only prepares design contracts rather than generating the actual presentation content itself.

Yes, slides-extract works with python-pptx to analyze .pptx files and generate essential JSON artifacts like resolved_manifest.json and design-profile.json. These artifacts are specifically designed to support template analysis and preparation for downstream content generation skills.
