What this skill does
PPTX Visual Assets Use visual assets to support a slide's message, never to flatten or replace editable content. Workflow 1. Select the asset type only when it improves comprehension: icon, image, SVG, diagram, or infographic. 2. Confirm the local asset path, source, usage rights, and concise alt text before placement. 3. Add the asset with a final inch bbox, deliberate z-index, and content or layoutdesign classification. 4. Preserve aspect ratio and check that no asset covers readable text or leaves essential information locked in an image. Rules Use simple, legible icons alongside text labels. Place captions beside images rather than over them. Use true SVG sources only when they are clean vectors; never wrap a raster image in SVG and call it editable. Recreate essential labels, legends, values, and process steps with native PowerPoint objects. If rights, provenance, or a suitable asset are unavailable, omit the asset and report the gap. Never add a placeholder as a finished visual. Record provider or source details in the source manifest. Never request secrets in chat. See references/asset-guidance.md for licensing, placement, and SVG constraints.
