Builds PowerPoint decks on Windows from a structured slide spec using python-pptx, with an optional HTML-to-PDF-to-image path for complex layouts.

What it does

This skill creates .pptx decks on Windows with Python-only tooling, defaulting to python-pptx and a structured slide spec rather than a visual editor. It first collects the outline, desired layout types such as title, bullets, image or two-column, a theme preference and whether to reuse an existing template, any image or logo assets, the target aspect ratio, and whether an HTML-first workflow is actually required.

The default path drafts a JSON or YAML slide spec from the outline, confirms its structure, then runs a bundled script that builds the deck directly, optionally reusing theme layouts from an existing .pptx template and defaulting to widescreen. An optional second path renders HTML to PDF with weasyprint when that renderer is installed, converts the PDF's pages to images with a tool the user already has such as Poppler or ImageMagick, then inserts those images as full-bleed slides through the same spec-building script - used only when the user explicitly wants HTML-first output and accepts the extra renderer dependency.

The HTML-to-PDF script fails with a clear install hint if weasyprint is missing rather than silently falling back, and a separate reference file lists the minimal dependencies needed for each path.

When your agent uses it

  • Building a PowerPoint deck from a structured outline on Windows
  • Reusing an existing PPTX template's theme for a new deck
  • Converting HTML slides to PDF and embedding them in a deck

Example prompts

  • “Build a widescreen PPTX from this outline using python-pptx.”
  • “Reuse our existing template's theme for this new deck.”
  • “Render these HTML slides to PDF and embed them as images in a PPTX.”

Requirements

  • Python with python-pptx
  • weasyprint (for the HTML-to-PDF path)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create a spec (see references/slide_spec.md).
  2. Run

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de8bbbd. 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 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

PPTX Builder for Windows loads about 650 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 281 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~650
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Generate PPTX decks on Windows using bash and Python. Use when the user asks to auto-create slides, build a .pptx from a structured outline/spec, or convert HTML (optionally to PDF) before embedding into slides. Covers python-pptx workflows, template/theme reuse, and lightweight HTML-to-PDF rendering when available.

Pptx Auto Windows

Overview

Create .pptx decks on Windows with Python-only tooling, defaulting to python-pptx and a structured slide spec. Optionally render HTML to PDF first, then embed as full-bleed images if a renderer is available.

Workflow

  1. Collect inputs Ask for:
  • Slide outline and desired layout types (title, bullets, image, two-column)
  • Theme preference and whether a template .pptx should be used
  • Assets (images, logos) and target aspect ratio (16:9 or 4:3)
  • Whether an HTML-first workflow is required
  1. Choose the build path
  • Path A (default): Build directly with python-pptx using a slide spec.
  • Path B (optional): Generate HTML, render to PDF (if weasyprint is installed), then place each rendered page as a full-bleed image in PPTX. Use only if the user explicitly wants HTML-first output and accepts the renderer dependency.
  1. Generate slide spec Draft a JSON/YAML spec from the outline, confirm structure, then run scripts/pptx_from_spec.py.

  2. Build the deck Run the script, inspect the output, and iterate on layout or assets.

Quick Start (Path A)

  1. Create a spec (see references/slide_spec.md).
  2. Run:
bash
python scripts/pptx_from_spec.py --spec specs/demo.json --out output/demo.pptx --widescreen

Optional HTML -> PDF -> PPTX (Path B)

  1. Render HTML to PDF:
bash
python scripts/html_to_pdf.py --html slides/index.html --out build/slides.pdf
  1. Convert PDF pages to images using a tool the user already has (Poppler, ImageMagick, etc.).
  2. Insert images into PPTX as full-bleed slides using scripts/pptx_from_spec.py with type: image slides.

Scripts

  • scripts/pptx_from_spec.py:

    • Build a PPTX from a JSON/YAML spec.
    • Supports title, bullets, image, and two_col slide types.
    • Optional --template to reuse theme layouts from an existing .pptx.
  • scripts/html_to_pdf.py:

    • Render HTML to PDF with weasyprint if installed.
    • Fails with a clear install hint if the renderer is missing.

References

  • references/slide_spec.md: Spec format, examples, and layout notes.
  • references/dependencies.md: Minimal dependency guidance for python-pptx and optional HTML-to-PDF rendering.
