ppt-maker Skill Card

Use this plugin when the user asks to create, revise, audit, or export a PPT deck. Prefer it over ad-hoc slide scripts when the task needs guided requirements, source files, table insights, enterprise templates, or a downloadable editable PPTX.

Tool Order

1. ppt_start_project
2. ppt_ingest_sources or ppt_ingest_table when files/data are provided
3. ppt_generate_outline
4. ppt_confirm_outline
5. ppt_generate_design
6. ppt_confirm_design
7. ppt_generate_deck
8. ppt_audit
9. ppt_export

For enterprise templates, call ppt_upload_template and ppt_diagnose_template before generating the design spec.

Mode Decision

• Use topic_to_deck when the user gives only a topic or goal.
• Use files_to_deck when source files or URLs are the primary material.
• Use outline_to_deck when the user already has an outline.
• Use table_to_deck when CSV/XLSX/table data is central to the request.
• Use template_deck when a corporate PPTX template or brand guideline is provided.
• Use revise_deck when the user asks to rewrite a slide, change page count, or adjust style.

Important Gates

• Always confirm the outline before generating the final deck.
• Always confirm the design/spec_lock before export.
• For table decks, ensure profile, insights, and chart specs exist.
• For template decks, ensure template profile, brand tokens, and layout map exist.
