PPTX Deck Context
Prepare the deck before coordinates or PPTX objects are authored. This skill owns the business narrative, source lineage, and design lock.
Decision sequence
- Confirm audience, decision, slide count, language, sources, and brand requirements.
- Use the user-selected narrative framework. If none is specified, offer
mckinsey, scqa, pyramid, mece, action-title, assertion-evidence, exec-summary-first, or custom; do not choose silently.
- Assign stable source IDs and plan a
source_ref for every metric, quotation, chart value, and factual claim.
- Choose a documented design direction. Prefer a user brand guide, then read-only reference-deck evidence, then a reusable profile from
references/design-profiles.md.
- Record the framework, assumptions, source manifest, palette, typography, spacing, and signature elements in
summary before authoring slides.
Rules
- One slide should communicate one message, with an action-style title where the framework calls for it.
- Treat design references as design evidence, not content or asset sources.
- Do not copy external fonts, images, icons, or logos without recorded licensing evidence.
- Translate design signals into explicit fills, typography, spacing, and bboxes; do not rely on an automatic layout engine.
- Keep long source material concise. Ask for a summary or decision-relevant excerpt instead of turning a deck spec into a document dump.
See references/design-profiles.md for reusable profile guidance.
