Validation Shortcut

Run this minimal command first to verify the supported execution path:

python scripts/validate_skill.py --help

When to Use

• You need to generate a new slide deck from a topic, brief, or outline (6-10 sections) and want a consistent visual style.
• You want to iteratively edit slide content and structure in code (projects/*.js) rather than in PowerPoint.
• You need a fast HTML preview loop before exporting a final .pptx.
• You must export a .pptx without starting from an existing PowerPoint template.
• You want to standardize slide layouts using predefined component types (e.g., comparison, timeline, stats).

Key Features

• Code-driven deck authoring via const SLIDES = [...] in projects/*.js.
• Built-in slide element/component types (e.g., comparison, timeline, stats, valueCards, quote, ending).
• HTML preview generation for quick review and iteration.
• PPTX export pipeline producing a PowerPoint-compatible .pptx.
• Consistent layout rules (spacing, margins) and guidance for palette selection.

Dependencies

• Python (3.10+ recommended)
• Python packages listed in: D:\SKILL\project\ppt\requirements.txt

Example Usage

1) Create a project file

Create: D:\SKILL\project\ppt\projects\demo-20260227.js

const SLIDES = [
  {
    badge: { icon: "*", text: "DEMO" },
    title: { text: "PPT Framework Demo" },
    subtitle: "Build in JS, preview in HTML, export to PPTX",
    clickHint: "2026-02-27 / v1",
    elements: [
      {
        step: 1,
        type: "quote",
        text: "A code-first workflow makes decks reproducible and easy to iterate.",
        author: { icon: "-", text: "Key takeaway" }
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    badge: { icon: "*", text: "AGENDA" },
    title: { text: "What We Will Cover" },
    subtitle: "A simple outline slide",
    clickHint: "Section 1/3",
    elements: [
      { step: 1, type: "valueCards", title: "Authoring", items: ["Edit `projects/*.js`", "Use `const SLIDES`"] },
      { step: 2, type: "valueCards", title: "Preview", items: ["Generate HTML", "Review layout quickly"] },
      { step: 3, type: "valueCards", title: "Export", items: ["Convert to PPTX", "Share the deck"] }
    ]
  },
  {
    badge: { icon: "*", text: "END" },
    title: { text: "Next Steps" },
    subtitle: "Export and refine",
    clickHint: "Section 3/3",
    elements: [
      { step: 1, type: "ending", title: "Export the deck", bullets: ["Run HTML build", "Run PPTX conversion"] }
    ]
  }
];

module.exports = { SLIDES };

2) Preview as HTML

From D:\SKILL\project\ppt:

python build_html.py demo-20260227

3) Export to PPTX

python convert_to_pptx.py demo-20260227

4) Output location

Generated files are written to:

• D:\SKILL\project\ppt\output\

Implementation Details

Authoring model

• Each deck is defined in a single project file under projects/.
• The deck is an ordered array: const SLIDES = [ ... ].
• Each slide typically includes:
  • badge: small label (icon + text)
  • title: primary headline (keep short and specific)
  • subtitle: one-sentence context
  • clickHint: date/version or navigation hint
  • elements: ordered visual components with step sequencing

Component usage

• Use component type values such as comparison, timeline, stats, valueCards, quote, ending to ensure each slide has a visual structure.
• Prefer minimal body text; express content as concise bullets or structured blocks.

Workflow guidance (content + design)

• Outline first: draft 6-10 sections, each with a single intent; expand each into 3-5 concise bullets.
• Palette rule: choose one dominant color, two supporting colors, and one accent color.
• Avoid text-only slides: every slide should include at least one visual component.
• Layout rule: keep spacing consistent and maintain margins ≥ 0.5".

When Not to Use

• Do not use this skill when the required source data, identifiers, files, or credentials are missing.
• Do not use this skill when the user asks for fabricated results, unsupported claims, or out-of-scope conclusions.
• Do not use this skill when a simpler direct answer is more appropriate than the documented workflow.

Required Inputs

• A clearly specified task goal aligned with the documented scope.
• All required files, identifiers, parameters, or environment variables before execution.
• Any domain constraints, formatting requirements, and expected output destination if applicable.

Recommended Workflow

1. Validate the request against the skill boundary and confirm all required inputs are present.
2. Select the documented execution path and prefer the simplest supported command or procedure.
3. Produce the expected output using the documented file format, schema, or narrative structure.
4. Run a final validation pass for completeness, consistency, and safety before returning the result.
