What it does
Powerpoint Presentations is an agent skill from aws-samples/sample-strands-agent-with-agentcore, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Create, inspect, edit, and validate professional PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), including uploaded source decks and templates, with design-system extraction, OOXML-preserving edits, structural linting, and rendered visual QA.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `design-guide.md`, `editing-guide.md` and `pptxgenjs.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: Reference architecture for agentic AI chatbots with Strands Agents and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve PowerPoint presentations
Example prompts
- “/powerpoint-presentations”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6dd9d13. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Powerpoint Presentations loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 791 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- Create, inspect, edit, and validate professional PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), including uploaded source decks and templates, with design-system extraction, OOXML-preserving edits, structural linting, and rendered visual QA.
PowerPoint Presentations
Use a staged workflow: classify → inspect → plan → execute → validate → render → iterate. Do not skip source verification or QA.
1. Classify the Request
Choose exactly one path:
| Path | Use when | Primary tools |
|---|---|---|
| Edit source | Modify an uploaded or existing deck | inspect_presentation, begin_presentation_edit, edit tools |
| Build from template | Create content in an uploaded branded deck | begin_presentation_edit, duplicate_slide, update_slide_content |
| Create new | No source/template must be preserved | create_presentation |
| Analyze | Review content, design, or structure without editing | inspect_presentation, preview tools |
Never use create_presentation for an edit or template request. It creates a new
package and cannot preserve the source master, layouts, relationships, notes, or
embedded assets.
2. Verify and Inspect the Source
For edit and template paths:
- Call
list_my_powerpoint_presentations. - Confirm the exact source filename exists.
- Call
inspect_presentationwithpersist_spec=true. - Call
preview_presentation_montagefor a deck-level visual pass. - Call
analyze_presentationonly for slides that require detailed element IDs.
If the source cannot be loaded, stop and report the missing file. Do not recreate the deck from a description, silently switch to a new-deck workflow, or delegate the task to an environment where the source file has not been verified.
Treat the persisted deck spec as the design-system record across turns. After
inspection, call begin_presentation_edit once and retain its edit_id.
Re-run inspect_presentation with that edit_id after structural changes; do
not rely on conversation memory for fonts, colors, layouts, or slide structure.
3. Plan Before Editing
Define:
- Audience and decision or outcome
- Narrative arc and one message per slide
- Functional slide type for each slide
- Content-density budget
- Source slides/layouts to preserve or duplicate
- Slides that require new visuals or data
For substantive creation, write a compact slide plan before generating code or mutating the package. Read workflow-guide.md for the planning schema and route-specific procedure.
4. Establish the Design System
For source/template work, derive tokens from deck_spec: slide size, theme colors,
theme fonts, explicit fonts, layout names, and repeated visual motifs. Preserve
those tokens unless the user explicitly requests a redesign.
For a new deck, define one compact design system before creating slides. Read design-guide.md. Use pptxgenjs.md only for new-deck implementation details.
5. Execute Conservatively
Edit an Existing Deck
- Call
begin_presentation_editonce and retain itsedit_id. - Analyze target slides.
- Build one complete operation batch.
- Call
update_slide_contentwith the sameedit_id. - Use
findandreplaceforreplace_text.
Unknown actions, empty find strings, duplicate slide batches, and unmatched text are errors. Correct the operation rather than substituting another workflow. Read editing-guide.md before editing.
Build from a Template
Prefer duplicating a representative source slide for each functional slide type. This best preserves placeholder geometry, visual chrome, and relationships.
- Inspect the template and identify representative slides.
- Duplicate the closest representative slide.
- Replace its text/images in one batch.
- Reorder slides.
- Delete unused example slides only after the working deck is complete.
Use add_slide only when a suitable layout exists and a blank layout-based slide
is genuinely required. Never delete all examples before identifying which slide
types and layouts must be preserved.

Create a New Deck
Use create_presentation with PptxGenJS. Define shared constants and helper
functions in each slide snippet as needed; option objects must not be reused
across calls because PptxGenJS mutates them.
6. Validate and Render
After every mutation:
- Call
validate_presentationwithpresentation_name=edit_id. - Fix structural errors before any further work.
- Review warnings for bounds, overlap, overflow risk, placeholders, and fonts.
- Call
preview_presentation_montagefor the full-deck pass. - Call
preview_presentation_slidesonly for affected slides at higher detail. - Fix issues and repeat validation plus targeted rendering.
- Call
finalize_presentation_editonce with the desired output name. For an app-generated presentation, keep the original filename unless the user requests a separate deliverable: finalization updates the existing result and preserves the previous bytes. Uploaded source files remain immutable and require a different output name.
LibreOffice rendering is an approximation of Microsoft PowerPoint. Missing fonts or complex Office features require final inspection in PowerPoint when available. Read qa-guide.md for the acceptance criteria.
Do not declare success until:
- The package has zero structural errors.
- No unresolved placeholder or out-of-bounds warnings remain.
- Every changed slide has been rendered after its final edit.
- A final montage shows coherent content, design, and narrative flow.
Non-Negotiable Rules
- Preserve the uploaded source; edit only the hidden draft returned by
begin_presentation_edit. - Reuse one
edit_idfor the complete job. Never createv2,v3, or similar intermediate presentation files. - Publish only once with
finalize_presentation_edit. - Batch related edits; conditional draft writes reject stale concurrent updates.
- Use 0-based slide indices for edit tools and 1-based numbers for preview tools.
- Use letters, numbers, and hyphens in presentation names.
- Do not use a generated approximation when the request requires source fidelity.
- Do not treat successful tool execution as proof of visual correctness.
