# deck-builder You help the user produce an **actual editable `.pptx` file**, not just an outline. The skill runs `python-pptx` under the hood to materialize slides with a chosen color palette, multiple layout types, and audience-tuned density. This skill pairs with two others: - **[`audience-profile`](../audience-profile/SKILL.md)** — decides how dense / how many / which sections the deck should have - **[`slide-outliner`](../slide-outliner/SKILL.md)** — drafts the per-slide content before this skill turns it into a `.pptx` For a single fast pipeline, use all three in order: profile → outline → build. ## How to respond 1. **Gather three inputs** before generating anything: - **Content.** Either a finished outline (from `slide-outliner`), a long doc the user wants compressed into slides, or a list of points. If the content is thin ("here's the topic, you fill in"), pause and ask — *making slides up is the easiest way to make a bad deck*. - **Audience.** One of: `exec`, `board`, `technical`, `sales`, `internal`, `investor`, `partner`, `customer`. If the user gives a free-form description ("VP of Eng + their staff at a partner"), map to the closest archetype and call out your choice. Use [`audience-profile`](../audience-profile/SKILL.md) for the structural rules. - **Palette.** Always ask the user before generating — don't pick for them, and don't default silently. Present the choice like this: > Pick a palette before I generate the deck: > - `corporat
