pptxlisted

Use this skill any time a .pptx or .potx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations as PowerPoint (.pptx) files; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx or .potx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email, summary, or creating a different type of slide deck); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates (.potx), layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user asks for a PowerPoint or .pptx file, or references a .pptx or .potx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. However, when the user asks for a deck, slides, a slide deck, or a presentation without naming a file format, default to using a dedicated slide-deck artifact type or a separate slides skill if this session offers one; otherwise, use this skill.

# PPTX creation, editing, and analysis If this session offers a dedicated slide-deck artifact type or a separate slides skill, and the user has neither asked for a PowerPoint/.pptx file nor supplied a .pptx/.potx file, build the deck with that type or skill instead; this skill remains the right tool for producing .pptx files and for reading, editing, templating, or converting existing .pptx/.potx files. A `.pptx` is a ZIP archive of XML files. Choose your approach by task: | 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 `` 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
