What it does

PPTX Deck Skill is an agent skill from mingchen666/Reviva. OfficeCLI native PPTX deck design layer. Use when the user wants a polished, editable .pptx presentation for education, learning, office reporting, training, research briefs, proposals, courseware, review decks, or a custom creative deck. This skill does not replace officecli-skills; it chooses scene templates, visual systems, layouts, QA rules, and then uses officecli-skills with officewrite to create the native PPTX.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 19 other files, including reference files (for example `config.json`, `references/layouts.md` and `references/qa.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: Local-first AI learning workspace — ask, note, review and create around your own materials. Wiki KB, Agents, Skills, creation tools.Private NotebookLM Alternative.AI….

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants a polished
  • Editable .pptx presentation for education
  • Office reporting
  • Research briefs

Example prompts

  • “/pptx-deck-skill”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): office_read, office_write, file_read

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify the request with references/routing.md.
  2. If the user did not specify format and says only "PPT", ask once whether they want editable PPTX or HTML. If the user wants…
  3. Pick one scene template from references/templates/.
  4. Pick one theme from references/themes.md, adapting colors to user brand or subject if provided.
  5. Create a slide-title list first. If the title list alone does not tell a coherent story, fix the arc before creating the file.
  6. Choose layout recipes from references/layouts.md; vary the geometry across adjacent slides.
  7. Use office_write(operation="create", format="pptx") and prefer useBatch=true for stable multi-slide creation.
  8. Add speaker notes for every content slide.
  9. Inspect with office_read and apply references/qa.md.
  10. Return the output path and a short summary. Do not paste the whole deck content into chat.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 24bde40. 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:

    • office_read
    • office_write
    • file_read

    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

PPTX Deck Skill loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 589 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 589 words (~1,270 tokens).
