pptx-deck-context
Lets your agent prepare content and design to create editable PowerPoint presentations. It's useful for anyone needing to build new presentations.
What it does
This tool helps organize ideas and content before creating a slide presentation (PPTX). It defines the objective, audience, information sources, and visual style.
When to use it
- ✓When you need to plan a new presentation.
- ✓Before starting to write slide content.
- ✓To ensure the presentation has a clear message and consistent look.
Example of what to ask your AI
“I want to create a presentation about last quarter's results for the board. The audience is executives, I need 5 slides, in Portuguese, and the sources are the sales and marketing reports. The style should follow the company's visual identity.”

How it works
The AI first asks about the audience, objective, slide count, language, sources, and brand requirements. Then, it suggests a framework (like 'McKinsey' or 'SCQA') and plans how to reference each important piece of information. Finally, it defines the visual style (colors, fonts) and summarizes everything before creating the slides.
Installation
Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

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
- Confirm audience, decision, slide count, language, sources, and brand requirements.
- Use the user-selected narrative framework. If none is specified, offer
mckinsey,scqa,pyramid,mece,action-title,assertion-evidence,exec-summary-first, orcustom; do not choose silently. - Assign stable source IDs and plan a
source_reffor every metric, quotation, chart value, and factual claim. - 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. - Record the framework, assumptions, source manifest, palette, typography, spacing, and signature elements in
summarybefore 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.
FAQ
What is a 'narrative framework'?
It's a predefined structure for organizing information in your presentation, like the order of topics or the style of each slide's title, to make the message clearer.
What does 'source lineage' or 'source_ref' mean?
It means recording where each piece of data or information used in the presentation came from, so you know its origin and can cite it correctly.
Can I use images and logos?
Yes, but you need to have the license or permission to use them, and the AI will record this information.
