What it does

PPTX is an agent skill from zai-org/ZCode. Use this skill any time a presentation file is the primary input or output. Covers: creating new .pptx decks from scratch or from an outline/document (pptxgenjs / python-pptx); editing and restyling an existing .pptx; reading and extracting text/structure from a deck (markitdown); and rendering a deck to PDF (LibreOffice) or to per-slide PNG images (pdftoppm) for previews, thumbnails, or visual review. Trigger when the user references a .pptx file by name or path, says 'make/build a deck, slides, presentation…

Its SKILL.md is about 13k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations and Slides and decks. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint, python-pptx, MarkItDown and LibreOffice. The repository describes itself as: Z.ai's coding agent harness. Powerful, intelligent, extensible.

When your agent uses it

The user references a .pptx file by name
Says make/build a deck
Asks to convert
Preview slides as PDF

Example prompts

“make/build a deck, slides, presentation, PPT, 幻灯片, 演示文稿, 汇报/路演材料”
“PPT转PDF”
“ppt导出图片”
“/pptx”

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Decide three things before you start
Color
Layout for each slide
Diagrams, flowcharts & data charts (strongly preferred)
Image + text layering (critical)
Typography
Spacing
CJK fonts
Avoid list (sources of an "AI-generated" look)
QA (recommended)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aac4755. 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:
- soffice
- npm
- apt-get
- pip
- pdftoppm
- brew
- winget
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn
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 13k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 170 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,795 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~170
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~13k

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.

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.
