What it does

PPTX Deck Context is an agent skill from wshobson/agents. Use when preparing the narrative, sources, and design context for a new editable PPTX deck.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/design-profiles.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: Multi-harness agentic plugin marketplace for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, Google Antigravity, and Pi. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Preparing the narrative
  • Design context for a new editable PPTX deck

Example prompts

  • “/pptx-deck-context”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm audience, decision, slide count, language, sources, and brand requirements.
  2. Use the user-selected narrative framework. If none is specified, offer mckinsey, scqa, pyramid, mece, action-title, assertion-evidence…
  3. Assign stable source IDs and plan a source_ref for every metric, quotation, chart value, and factual claim.
  4. Choose a documented design direction. Prefer a user brand guide, then read-only reference-deck evidence, then a reusable profile from…
  5. Record the framework, assumptions, source manifest, palette, typography, spacing, and signature elements in summary before authoring slides.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46891e7. 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

PPTX Deck Context loads about 416 tokens when it runs, and up to ~700 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 205 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~416
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~700

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.

PPTX Deck Context

Prepare the deck before coordinates or PPTX objects are authored. This skill owns the business narrative, source lineage, and design lock.

Decision sequence

  1. Confirm audience, decision, slide count, language, sources, and brand requirements.
  2. Use the user-selected narrative framework. If none is specified, offer mckinsey, scqa, pyramid, mece, action-title, assertion-evidence, exec-summary-first, or custom; do not choose silently.
  3. Assign stable source IDs and plan a source_ref for every metric, quotation, chart value, and factual claim.
  4. Choose a documented design direction. Prefer a user brand guide, then read-only reference-deck evidence, then a reusable profile from references/design-profiles.md.
  5. Record the framework, assumptions, source manifest, palette, typography, spacing, and signature elements in summary before authoring slides.

Rules

  • One slide should communicate one message, with an action-style title where the framework calls for it.
  • Treat design references as design evidence, not content or asset sources.
  • Do not copy external fonts, images, icons, or logos without recorded licensing evidence.
  • Translate design signals into explicit fills, typography, spacing, and bboxes; do not rely on an automatic layout engine.
  • Keep long source material concise. Ask for a summary or decision-relevant excerpt instead of turning a deck spec into a document dump.

See references/design-profiles.md for reusable profile guidance.
