What it does

Once installed, the agent knows how to work with Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) files: drafting new slide decks, filling in templates, editing the internal XML of a deck, pulling out slide text and speaker notes, and converting slides to PDF or PNG images for visual checks. It follows a documented workflow (read, plan, edit or create, validate, visual QA) and uses bundled helper scripts for these steps instead of improvising.

Great for

  • People who regularly produce or update slide decks and want the agent to handle the file mechanics
  • Developers automating deck generation from data or templates
  • Anyone who needs text or speaker notes extracted from an existing .pptx

Skip it if

  • Tasks where the main deliverable is a Word document, spreadsheet, PDF report or HTML site, since the skill says not to trigger in those cases
  • Running it on sensitive decks without reviewing the scripts first, because the scripts read and write your files and may call external tools

Try asking

  • “Turn this CSV of quarterly sales into a 10-slide pitch deck with a chart on each data slide”
  • “Fill the placeholders in company_template.pptx with these client details and keep the master and layouts”
  • “Extract all slide text and speaker notes from board_deck.pptx into a markdown file”
  • “Render my deck to PDF and make a contact sheet so I can check the layout”

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Run the scripts on a copy of your deck first, especially when editing raw XML, since the workflow rewrites archive contents.
  • Install the listed prerequisites before asking for rendering, otherwise the QA steps will fail.
  • Ask for a visual check (render_slides or contact_sheet) after any change so layout problems are caught early.
