What it does

PPTX is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Presentation toolkit (.pptx). Create/edit slides, layouts, content, speaker notes, comments, for programmatic presentation creation and modification.

Its SKILL.md is about 6.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 65 other files, including scripts (for example `html2pptx.md` and `ooxml.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations and Slides and decks. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve PowerPoint presentations
  • Tasks that involve Slides and decks

Example prompts

  • “/pptx”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read theme file: Check ppt/theme/theme1.xml for colors () and fonts ()
  2. Sample slide content: Examine ppt/slides/slide1.xml for actual font usage () and colors
  3. Search for patterns: Use grep to find color (, ) and font references across all XML files

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14680ec. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • npm
    • pdftoppm
    • pip
    • apt-get
    • soffice

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

PPTX loads about 6.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,045 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.7k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:516
    - **LibreOffice**: `sudo apt-get install libreoffice` (for PDF conversion)
  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:517
    - **Poppler**: `sudo apt-get install poppler-utils` (for pdftoppm to convert PDF to images)

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Proprietary) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,045 words (~6,675 tokens).
