This is a Claude skill for handling PowerPoint files in .pptx or .potx format, covering creation, editing, reading, and analysis. For new decks it directs the assistant to write a pptxgenjs script, while existing decks or templates are handled by unpacking the archive, editing the internal slide XML, and repacking it. Reading tasks rely on markitdown to extract per-slide text. The skill bundles helper scripts for thumbnailing slides, duplicating or cleaning slide parts, validating the resulting file structure, and converting a deck to PDF and images for visual review. It also embeds detailed guidance on color palettes, typography, spacing, and common visual mistakes to avoid, plus a required quality-check procedure before finishing.
