Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is (cd unpacked && rm -f ../out.pptx && zip -Xr ../out.pptx .) # zip from INSIDE the dir; rm first or deleted parts survive.

Good fit Use it to build pitch decks and presentations, extract slide text, edit templates, combine or split decks, and check how slides look.

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.

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.

Security

Grade B, and why

powerpoint scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 15 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.

Powerpoint Skill

Create, read, and edit PowerPoint decks — from-scratch generation with pptxgenjs, template-based editing via direct XML manipulation, speaker notes, charts, and design QA. A .pptx is a ZIP archive of XML files.

When to Use

Use this skill any time a .pptx or .potx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading or extracting text from any .pptx; editing existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates (.potx), layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions "deck," "slides," "presentation," or references a .pptx/.potx filename.

Prerequisites

npm ls pptxgenjs --depth=0 2>/dev/null | grep -q pptxgenjs || npm install pptxgenjs
pip install "markitdown[pptx]" Pillow defusedxml lxml
which soffice || sudo apt install -y libreoffice     # rendering/QA
which pdftoppm || sudo apt install -y poppler-utils  # PDF → images

macOS: brew install libreoffice poppler. Icons in generated decks additionally use react-icons react react-dom sharp (npm).

Quick Reference

Task Approach
Create a new deck Write a pptxgenjs script — see gotchas below
Edit an existing deck, or build from a template unzip → edit ppt/slides/slideN.xml → zip
Read content markitdown deck.pptx (one block per slide under <!-- Slide number: N --> markers); visual grid: python scripts/thumbnail.py deck.pptx

Scripts

Paths are relative to this skill's directory. Everything else is plain Python, node, or shell.

Script What it does
scripts/thumbnail.py deck.pptx [prefix] Labeled grid of every slide, for picking template layouts. .pptx only. Pass prefix — it defaults to thumbnails, which overwrites the grids of any other deck done in the same directory
scripts/add_slide.py unpacked/ slide2.xml [--after slideN.xml] Duplicate a slide (or a slideLayoutN.xml) with all the package bookkeeping. Also takes a .pptx directly with -o out.pptx
scripts/clean.py unpacked/ Delete slides, media, and rels no longer referenced. Run after <p:sldIdLst> is final
scripts/office/validate.py deck.pptx [--original src.pptx] Schema, relationship, content-type, chart and slide checks; each failure names its fix. Pass --original for any template-derived deck — it baselines the schema checks against the template, so the template's own XSD errors don't read as yours
scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to pdf deck.pptx LibreOffice wrapper — bare soffice hangs in sandboxed environments

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.
