A guide and set of methods for working with PowerPoint presentation files (.pptx). It covers reading slide content, creating presentations, editing them, and converting them for visual checking.

Use it to extract slide text, make thumbnail previews, create or edit slide decks, and convert presentations to PDF or images for review.

It gives a consistent way to handle presentation files and inspect both their text and appearance. It also identifies the software needed for common presentation tasks.

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hyqibot/token-free-openclaw

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00152	$0.02481
Opus 5	$0.00076	$0.01241
Sonnet 5	$0.00030	$0.00496
Haiku 4.5	$0.00015	$0.00248

Security

Grade A, and why

pptx scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/__init__.py, scripts/add_slide.py, scripts/clean.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 240 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Important: All scripts/ paths are relative to this skill directory. Run with: cd {this_skill_dir} && python scripts/... Or use the cwd parameter of execute_shell_command.

PPTX Skill

Prerequisites

markitdown[pptx]: text extraction from presentations
Pillow: thumbnail grid generation
pptxgenjs (npm install -g pptxgenjs): creating presentations from scratch
LibreOffice (soffice): presentation-to-PDF conversion
pdftoppm (poppler-utils): PDF-to-image conversion for thumbnail/visual workflows
If pdftoppm is unavailable, a Python fallback path may use pdf2image.
On Windows, dependencies must be installed and available in PATH; if missing, report the dependency issue and stop (do not keep retrying).

Quick Reference

Task	Guide
Read/analyze content	`python -m markitdown presentation.pptx`
Edit or create from template	Read editing.md
Create from scratch	Read pptxgenjs.md

Reading Content

# Text extraction
python -m markitdown presentation.pptx

# Visual overview
python scripts/thumbnail.py presentation.pptx

# Raw XML
python scripts/office/unpack.py presentation.pptx unpacked/

Editing Workflow

Read editing.md for full details.

Analyze template with thumbnail.py
Unpack → manipulate slides → edit content → clean → pack

Creating from Scratch

Read pptxgenjs.md for full details.

Use when no template or reference presentation is available.

Design Ideas

Don't create boring slides. Plain bullets on a white background won't impress anyone. Consider ideas from this list for each slide.

Before Starting

Pick a bold, content-informed color palette: The palette should feel designed for THIS topic. If swapping your colors into a completely different presentation would still "work," you haven't made specific enough choices.
Dominance over equality: One color should dominate (60-70% visual weight), with 1-2 supporting tones and one sharp accent. Never give all colors equal weight.
Dark/light contrast: Dark backgrounds for title + conclusion slides, light for content ("sandwich" structure). Or commit to dark throughout for a premium feel.
Commit to a visual motif: Pick ONE distinctive element and repeat it — rounded image frames, icons in colored circles, thick single-side borders. Carry it across every slide.

Files

What ships with it

60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
