PPT Master Skill

AI-driven multi-format SVG content generation system. Converts source documents into high-quality SVG pages through multi-role collaboration and exports to PPTX.

Core Pipeline: Source Document → Create Project → [Template] → Strategist → [Image_Generator] → Executor Live Preview → Quality Check → Post-processing → Export

[!CAUTION]

🚨 Global Execution Discipline (MANDATORY)

This workflow is a strict serial pipeline. The following rules have the highest priority — violating any one of them constitutes execution failure:

1. SERIAL EXECUTION — Steps MUST be executed in order; the output of each step is the input for the next. Non-BLOCKING adjacent steps may proceed continuously once prerequisites are met, without waiting for the user to say "continue"
2. BLOCKING = HARD STOP — Steps marked ⛔ BLOCKING require a full stop; the AI MUST wait for an explicit user response before proceeding and MUST NOT make any decisions on behalf of the user
3. NO CROSS-PHASE BUNDLING — Cross-phase bundling is FORBIDDEN. (Note: the Eight Confirmations in Step 4 are ⛔ BLOCKING — the AI MUST present recommendations and wait for explicit user confirmation before proceeding. Once the user confirms, all subsequent non-BLOCKING steps — design spec output, SVG generation, speaker notes, and post-processing — may proceed automatically without further user confirmation)
4. GATE BEFORE ENTRY — Each Step has prerequisites (🚧 GATE) listed at the top; these MUST be verified before starting that Step
5. NO SPECULATIVE EXECUTION — "Pre-preparing" content for subsequent Steps is FORBIDDEN (e.g., writing SVG code during the Strategist phase)
6. NO SUB-AGENT SVG GENERATION — Executor Step 6 SVG generation is context-dependent and MUST be completed by the current main agent end-to-end. Delegating page SVG generation to sub-agents is FORBIDDEN
7. SEQUENTIAL PAGE GENERATION ONLY — In Executor Step 6, after the global design context is confirmed, SVG pages MUST be generated sequentially page by page in one continuous pass. Grouped page batches (for example, 5 pages at a time) are FORBIDDEN
8. SPEC_LOCK RE-READ PER PAGE — Before generating each SVG page, Executor MUST read_file <project_path>/spec_lock.md. All colors / fonts / icons / images MUST come from this file — no values from memory or invented on the fly. Executor MUST also look up the current page's page_rhythm (anchor / dense / breathing), page_layouts (which template SVG to inherit, if any), and page_charts (which chart template to adapt, if any). Empty / absent entries are intentional Strategist signals — see executor-base.md §2.1. This rule exists to resist context-compression drift on long decks and to break the uniform "every page is a card grid" default
9. SVG MUST BE HAND-WRITTEN, NOT SCRIPT-GENERATED — Every SVG page is written by the main agent directly, one page at a time (see rules 6 and 7). Writing or running a Python / Node / shell script that produces the SVG files in batch — looping over pages, templating from data, or emitting them via a generator — is FORBIDDEN, including under "save tokens", "quick draft", or "user is in a hurry" pretexts. The script-generation path was tried on a feature branch and abandoned: cross-page visual consistency depends on per-page authoring with full upstream context, which a generator script cannot reproduce

[!IMPORTANT]

🌐 Language & Communication Rule

• Response language: match the user's input and source materials. Explicit user override (e.g., "请用英文回答") takes precedence.
• Template format: design_spec.md MUST follow its original English template structure (section headings, field names) regardless of conversation language. Content values may be in the user's language.

[!IMPORTANT]

🔌 Compatibility With Generic Coding Skills

• ppt-master is a repository-specific workflow, not a general application scaffold
• Do NOT create .worktrees/, tests/, branch workflows, or generic engineering structure by default
• On conflict with a generic coding skill, follow this skill unless the user explicitly says otherwise
