Create, edit, and analyze PowerPoint presentations — research talks, conference presentations, lecture slides, and poster summaries.

  • Works in 2 steps: Analyze template with thumbnail.py → Unpack → manipulate slides → edit…

  • SKILL.md covers Runtime Dependencies, Quick Reference, Reading Content and Editing Workflow, plus 5 more sections
  • Calls python, pdftoppm and pip

What it does

PPTX is an agent skill from ymx10086/ResearchClaw. Create, edit, and analyze PowerPoint presentations — research talks, conference presentations, lecture slides, and poster summaries. Use when the user asks to generate, modify, or inspect .pptx files, convert slides to images, or design presentation layouts.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations and Slides and decks. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint and python-pptx. The repository describes itself as: ResearchClaw is a personal AI assistant built for research: fast to set up, easy to run locally or in the cloud, and ready to integrate with the chat apps you already use. With…

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to generate
  • Inspect .pptx files
  • Convert slides to images
  • Design presentation layouts

Example prompts

  • “/pptx”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Analyze template with thumbnail.py
  2. Unpack → manipulate slides → edit content → clean → pack

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1baaa92. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pdftoppm
    • pip
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip and npm, 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 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 915 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 915 words (~2,266 tokens).
