When to use
- Stakeholder readouts, training decks, workshop materials.
- Visual narrative where slides beat long documents.
Workflow
- Outline — audience, timebox, key message per slide (max one idea per slide).
- Structure — title, context, evidence, recommendation, appendix.
- Build — consistent master; limit bullet depth (3 lines max per slide).
- Notes — speaker notes for anything not on slide.
- Review — legibility at projector size; no dense tables on main slides.
Slide patterns

| Chart | One chart; source footnote |
| Appendix | Detail tables, methodology |
Implementation options
- python-pptx for programmatic create/edit when scripts exist in repo.
- Manual edit guidance when no automation: describe slide-by-slide content for user to paste.
- Prefer editing existing template
.pptxover blank decks when brand matters.
Quality checklist
- Font size readable (body >= 18pt typical)
- Color contrast sufficient
- Charts labeled (axes, units, period)
- No paragraph walls
- Version/date on title or footer
Safety
- Do not embed secrets or live customer PII in decks.
- Use aggregated metrics in external-facing decks.
Boundaries

pdfskill). - Not for spreadsheets as primary output (use
xlsx).
Dependencies
