What it does

Adobe Anypptx is an agent skill from adobe/skills. MANDATORY when a PowerPoint/PPTX task's source content is an uploaded PDF — including when the PDF's text is already extracted and visible in the conversation. Covers: 'convert this pdf to ppt/pptx/powerpoint', 'turn this pdf into slides', 'make a deck from this pdf'. Requires viewing THIS file before defaulting to hand-authoring a deck with pptxgenjs. Route to adobe-anypdf's pdfexport (targetformat: pptx) first. Do NOT use this file when there is no PDF source — a from-scratch deck request, or editing an…

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations and PDF. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint and python-pptx. The repository describes itself as: Adobe Skills for Agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve PowerPoint presentations
  • Tasks that involve PDF

Example prompts

  • “s source content is an uploaded PDF — including when the PDF”
  • “convert this pdf to ppt/pptx/powerpoint”
  • “turn this pdf into slides”
  • “/adobe-anypptx”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): adobe_mandatory_init, pdf_export

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cbc9952. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • adobe_mandatory_init
    • pdf_export

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Adobe Anypptx loads about 855 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 147 tokens; SKILL.md has 380 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~147
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~855

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Adobe AnyPPTX

This is a routing file, not a standalone authoring tool. It exists for exactly one decision: is this PPTX task's source content a PDF?

Tool Reference

StepToolNotes
Initializeadobe_mandatory_initRequired before pdf_export
Convert PDF to PPTXpdf_exporttarget_format: pptx

Workflow

Step 0 — Initialize Adobe Tools

Call adobe_mandatory_init before calling pdf_export.

json
{ "skill_name": "adobe-anypptx", "skill_version": "1.0.0" }
Router
  • Source is an uploaded/attached PDF (even if its text is already visible in the conversation as extracted content) → this is a PDF-to-PPTX conversion. Check the adobe-anypdf skill, call adobe_mandatory_init, then pdf_export with target_format: pptx. Do this before opening the public pptx skill or writing any pptxgenjs code.
  • No PDF involved — building a deck from scratch, from notes, from a spreadsheet, editing an existing .pptx, working with a template — this file has nothing to add. Go straight to the public pptx skill.
When to still prefer hand-authoring over pdf_export

pdf_export reproduces the PDF's existing layout as slides — it does not redesign or summarize. Prefer building the deck by hand with the pptx skill instead, even when the source is a PDF, if:

  • The user asks for a redesigned, summarized, or thematically reorganized deck rather than a literal conversion (e.g., "make a deck covering the key points" rather than "convert this to a deck").
  • pdf_export fails with a clear transient error — retry once. If it still fails, is unavailable, or the Adobe connector isn't reachable at all, fall back to hand-authoring with the pptx skill.
  • The user has already seen the pdf_export output and asked for something different.
Show full SKILL.md (129 more words)Show less

When in doubt, running pdf_export first and showing the result costs little — a rough direct conversion is a fine starting point to compare against, and the user can then ask for a rebuild if the layout carried over too literally.

Known failure mode — do not repeat

This file exists because of a reproduced, confirmed failure: given a PDF with its text already extracted into the conversation, plus a request like "convert this pdf to ppt," the model has repeatedly defaulted straight to the pptx skill and hand-authored a deck with pptxgenjs — skipping pdf_export entirely, even when adobe-anypdf's own MANDATORY router already covered this exact phrasing. If you notice yourself about to call pptxgenjs or unzip a .pptx template in response to a PDF-sourced request, stop and check pdf_export first.
