What this skill does
Pptx Toolkit Audit .pptx files using the standard library only — no python-pptx required. Reads OOXML directly via zipfile + xml.etree. --- Table of Contents Keywords Quick Start Core Workflows Tools Reference Guides Templates Best Practices --- Keywords pptx, PowerPoint, slide deck, presentation, board deck, sales deck, deck review, slide density, speaker notes, animation, hidden slides --- Clarify First Before running the audit, confirm these inputs.

If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact. Quick Start Outputs: slide count, hidden slide count, slides with speaker notes, words per slide (with per-slide breakdown), image and embedded-media count, animation node count, theme name. --- Core Workflows Workflow 1: Pre-Meeting Deck Review Goal: Catch the issues that make decks look unprofessional in the room — overstuffed slides, missing speaker notes, leftover hidden slides from prior versions. Steps: 1. Run audit 2. Slides with > 50 words → flag for content reduction 3. Slides without speaker notes for a board / investor deck → add notes or mark "intentionally bare" 4. Hidden slides → confirm they should ship hidden, or delete 5. Animation count > 100 across deck → likely over-animated; trim Time Estimate: 5-10 minutes per deck. Workflow 2: Board / Investor Deck Audit Goal: Hold a board / investor deck to a higher quality bar with a structured audit trail. Steps: 1. …
