PPTX to Beamer

Overview

Use this skill to turn a .pptx file into a Beamer project with extracted assets and a validation pass. The bundled scripts are designed for deterministic conversion of common slide content, while the workflow leaves room for agent judgment on theme choice and hard-to-map visual elements.

When To Use It

The user wants a PowerPoint deck reconstructed as a LaTeX Beamer document.
The task requires extracting text hierarchy, slide titles, bullet nesting, or embedded images from .pptx.
The user wants a compilable starting point rather than manual copy/paste.
The deck contains some complexity such as mixed formatting, tables, or decorative shapes that need fallback handling.

Quick Start

Convert the deck:

python3 scripts/pptx_to_beamer.py INPUT.pptx \
  --output build/presentation.tex \
  --assets-dir build/assets \
  --theme auto

Validate the generated .tex:

python3 scripts/check_beamer_tex.py build/presentation.tex

If LaTeX is installed, compile as an additional verification step:

pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error -output-directory build build/presentation.tex
