What it does

When installed, this skill guides an AI agent to add supporting visuals such as icons, images, SVG graphics, diagrams and infographics to a PowerPoint deck it is building. It tells the agent to use visuals only when they make a slide clearer, to check the file path, source and usage rights first, and to keep essential text and data as editable native PowerPoint objects rather than baking them into pictures. If rights or a suitable asset are missing, the agent is told to leave the visual out and report the gap instead of inserting a placeholder.

Great for

  • People generating slide decks with an AI agent who want clean, editable visuals
  • Teams that need a record of image sources and licensing for presentations
  • Developers building a deck-generation workflow that must respect copyright and editability

Skip it if

  • Users who need the agent to find or download stock images from the web, since the skill only places assets the user already has approved (the reference file's details are not verified here)
  • Situations needing legal clearance of images; the skill checks for provenance but gives no legal advice and the reliability of the licensing guidance is not confirmed from the files shown

Try asking

  • “Add simple, labelled icons for the three benefits on this slide, keeping the captions beside them”
  • “Place the approved architecture diagram SVG on slide 5 and make sure it does not cover any text”
  • “Replace the stock photo on the title slide with the approved local image and record its source in the manifest”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    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

  • Supply the asset files locally and state their source and usage rights up front so the agent does not have to guess
  • Ask for simple icons with text labels rather than decorative imagery for clearer slides
  • Check the final deck in PowerPoint to confirm nothing overlaps and that SVGs remain editable
