What it does
Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way, as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions \"deck,\" \"slides,\" \"presentation,\" or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.
Important: All
scripts/paths are relative to this skill directory. Run with:cd {this_skill_dir} && python scripts/...Or use thecwdparameter ofexecute_shell_command.
