What problem does it solve?
Building and validating sophisticated PowerPoint decks is slow when you rely on manual edits or ad hoc scripts, so this Skill gives you a consistent JavaScript-first workflow that keeps outputs editable and visually accurate.
Core Features & Use Cases
- PptxGenJS authoring with helpers: Copy the bundled
assets/pptxgenjs_helpers helpers, set themes explicitly, and rely on autoFontSize, layout builders, and diagram utilities to produce editable slides instead of flattened exports.
- Validation and diagnostics: Run the provided render, overflow, montage, and font inspection scripts to generate PNG previews, detect overflow/substitution issues, and document layout health before delivery.
- Use Case: Recreate a 15-slide investor deck from a PDF and screenshots by matching aspect ratios, rebuilding charts natively, using ensure_raster_image for odd assets, and delivering both the
.pptx and the JavaScript source.
Quick Start
Ask the slides workflow to reauthor the deck with PptxGenJS helpers, render the output to PNGs, and run overflow and font checks before providing the final files.
