What it does

PPTX Quality Gates is an agent skill from wshobson/agents. Use when validating or repairing an editable PPTX deck for geometry, accessibility, native editability, source lineage, and OOXML package integrity.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/audit-checklist.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations and Quality gates. 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

  • Repairing an editable PPTX deck for geometry
  • Native editability
  • OOXML package integrity

Example prompts

  • “/pptx-quality-gates”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm the spec, builder, PPTX, source manifest, and audit paths.
  2. Apply references/audit-checklist.md to the coordinate contract before building.
  3. Reopen the PPTX and compare slide count, actual bounds, hidden slides, and requested geometry with the layout tree.
  4. For production decks, run pptx-reference-deck-analysis/scripts/validate_package.py and save the JSON report.
  5. Check document language, slide titles, meaningful-image alt text, reading order, table headers, and source references.
  6. When a compatible renderer is already available, inspect previews for clipping, font fallback, contrast, crop, and hierarchy. Do not add a…
  7. Repair the spec or task-local builder, rebuild, and rerun the same checks.

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 Quality Gates loads about 409 tokens when it runs, and up to ~876 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 191 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~409
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~876

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 Quality Gates

Use this skill before delivering a generated PPTX. Treat deterministic failures as repair work, not exceptions.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the spec, builder, PPTX, source manifest, and audit paths.
  2. Apply references/audit-checklist.md to the coordinate contract before building.
  3. Reopen the PPTX and compare slide count, actual bounds, hidden slides, and requested geometry with the layout tree.
  4. For production decks, run pptx-reference-deck-analysis/scripts/validate_package.py and save the JSON report.
  5. Check document language, slide titles, meaningful-image alt text, reading order, table headers, and source references.
  6. When a compatible renderer is already available, inspect previews for clipping, font fallback, contrast, crop, and hierarchy. Do not add a renderer dependency.
  7. Repair the spec or task-local builder, rebuild, and rerun the same checks.

Required artifacts

Keep the spec, PPTX, build record, geometry audit, accessibility audit, package report, and source manifest together. Report any documented exception with slide ID, object ID, owner, reason, and review date.

Pass criteria

Zero content collisions, text overflows, unsafe content bounds, invalid positive geometry, and package-integrity errors. Meaningful slide content must remain native editable objects; images support rather than replace it.

See references/audit-checklist.md for the complete checklist.
