# Branded PPTX - Pluggable Brand Themes This skill extends Anthropic's base `pptx` skill with pluggable brand themes, the same way `branded-docx` extends the base `docx` skill. Install the base skill separately (`/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills`, then the `document-skills` plugin); nothing from it is bundled here. Follow all of its technical rules (pptxgenjs API, the QA loop, the file-corruption pitfalls). This file adds the brand layer on top. The governing design idea, borrowed from the base skill and worth restating: a deck is spatial composition, not flowing text. Brand tokens give you palette and type for free, but the layout decision on each slide is yours to make. Distil; do not pour paragraphs onto slides. --- ## Preflight: why two runs of this skill can look very different A skill encodes the process, not the finished pixels. The same SKILL.md yields a sharp deck on one machine and a rough one on another, and the cause is almost always environment, not taste. Confirm all three before generating. Skip this and the deck ships with substituted fonts and unspotted overflow. ### 1. The brand font must be installed AS STATIC CUTS This is the single most common cause of "the fonts don't fill the boxes." The deck names the brand font (e.g. Montserrat). If the machine that GENERATES, or the machine that OPENS the deck, lacks it, the app substitutes a font with different widths: text reflows and boxes overflow. A bare **variable** font (`Montserrat[wght].ttf`)
