pptx-quality-gates
Helps your agent check and fix PowerPoint presentations to ensure they are editable and accessible. It's useful for maintaining presentation quality.
What it does
This tool checks if a presentation file (PPTX) is ready for delivery. It ensures the design is correct, accessible to everyone, and easily editable later.
When to use it
- ✓Before sending a finished presentation.
- ✓When you want to be sure the presentation can be edited by anyone.
- ✓To check if the presentation is visually correct and accessible.
Example of what to ask your AI

How it works
The tool compares what was planned with what was created, checking if everything is in the right place, if texts fit, and if images have descriptions. It also verifies if the file is well-organized internally.

PPTX Quality Gates
Use this skill before delivering a generated PPTX. Treat deterministic failures as repair work, not exceptions.
Workflow
- Confirm the spec, builder, PPTX, source manifest, and audit paths.
- Apply
references/audit-checklist.mdto the coordinate contract before building. - Reopen the PPTX and compare slide count, actual bounds, hidden slides, and requested geometry with the layout tree.
- For production decks, run
pptx-reference-deck-analysis/scripts/validate_package.pyand save the JSON report. - Check document language, slide titles, meaningful-image alt text, reading order, table headers, and source references.
- When a compatible renderer is already available, inspect previews for clipping, font fallback, contrast, crop, and hierarchy. Do not add a renderer dependency.
- 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.
FAQ
What does 'geometry' mean?
It refers to the shape and size of elements on the screen, like text boxes and images, and if they are positioned correctly.
What is 'accessibility'?
It means ensuring the presentation can be used by people with different needs, such as screen readers for visually impaired individuals.
What are 'quality gates'?
These are checks that ensure a product (in this case, a presentation) meets certain standards before being finalized or delivered.
