What this skill does
PPTX Deck Creation Overview Create an editable PowerPoint deck from a clear narrative, source evidence, and explicit layout decisions. Keep the deck specification and its native PowerPoint objects as the source of truth. Images may support a slide, but they must not replace editable titles, labels, data, tables, or diagrams. Use the bundled references for design-profile selection, reference-deck analysis, visual-asset decisions, and final quality checks. The skill does not ship a general-purpose renderer or bundled runtime scripts. Scope Boundary Use this skill as the primary workflow for creating a new, editable PPTX deck. It owns the path from a deck brief through narrative planning, a coordinate-explicit specification, task-specific PPTX generation, and final quality assurance. Do not redirect a net-new deck to another skill merely because the requested deliverable is a .pptx file. Use @pptx-official when work starts with an existing PPTX and requires package-level operations: raw OOXML editing, template duplication and text replacement, speaker notes, comments, animations, or other structural changes to that file. It may support a build when those operations are necessary, but it is not the default workflow for a net-new deck authored here. When to Use This Skill Use when a user asks to create a new editable PowerPoint or PPTX deck Use as the default workflow when a new deck needs to be delivered as a .pptx file Use when a deck needs a narrative framework, a design direction, and final coordinates Use when analyzing a reference PPTX without copying its binary content Use when reviewing a generated PPTX for layout, package, or accessibility defects How It Works Step 1: Understand the requested deck Collect the audience, decision or purpose, language, slide count, source material, brand requirements, and delivery format. Ask the user to select a narrative framework if they have not already done so. Do not select one on the user's behalf. …
