ITSpecialist111 office/pptx-toolkit — skill payload
Machine-readable contract:
../pptx-toolkit.manifest.json.
What this skill does
Builds PowerPoint decks from a structured slide spec via python-pptx.
Each slide entry names a layout (title, title_and_content,
two_content, comparison, blank) and supplies the relevant content
(titles, bullets, tables, images, charts). Output is a .pptx.
When to use it
- The user wants a deck (executive summary, status update, training).
- You have structured data (e.g. last quarter's numbers) and need slides from it, not slides about it.
When not to use it
- The deliverable is a one-page graphic — use
design/canvas. - The deliverable is a written report — use
office/docx-toolkit. - The deck must follow strict brand templating beyond what
python-pptxexposes — start from a brand template and pass it in.
Determinism and risk
Determinism: high — same input spec, same deck. Risk: low.
How it composes
Common downstream of office/xlsx-toolkit (chart-from-data) and
content/research-writer (bullet outline → deck). Upstream of
comms/meeting-insights only in the loop where the deck generated the
meeting; the more common direction is meeting → deck via the analyser.
