# pptx-deck-creation

Turns a brief and source material into editable PowerPoint decks: spec first, then explicit inch-based layout.

## What it does

The plugin walks from brief to finished PPTX. It prepares the business narrative and design context, then builds slides against a `layout_tree` contract measured in inches. Auto-layout is not trusted here — coordinates are stated outright. Text, shapes, lines, tables, connectors and images stay native and editable in PowerPoint.

Reference decks are analysed read-only. Source slides are never copied or mutated. Checks cover geometry, accessibility, source lineage and OOXML package integrity. The bundled `pptx-reference-deck-analysis` skill supplies the safe OOXML utilities; its optional local dependency is `defusedxml`, and high-level extraction may also use `python-pptx`.

The `python-pptx` builder is written per task and only when a PPTX is requested. There is no general renderer, no template cloning, no browser and no MCP server. No credentials, no online service. If your project already has a slide-generation pipeline, this plugin will compete with it over the output format — worth checking which one owns the deck.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install pptx-deck-creation@claude-code-workflows
```

## When to use it
- build an editable deck from a brief and rough notes
- pin exact element coordinates instead of auto-layout
- analyse someone else's deck read-only without touching it
- check slide geometry and accessibility before a review
- keep the OOXML package intact while assembling

## Example prompts
- Build the deck from this brief and set coordinates explicitly in `layout_tree`
- Analyse the reference deck read-only and describe how its slides are built
- Run the geometry and accessibility checks on the finished PPTX

# PPTX Deck Creation

Create editable, production-ready PowerPoint decks from a brief and source material.

## What it provides

- A business narrative and design-context preparation workflow.
- Final inch-based `layout_tree` contracts rather than implicit auto-layout.
- Native editable PowerPoint text, shapes, lines, tables, connectors, and supporting images.
- Read-only reference-deck and OOXML package analysis; source slides are never copied or mutated.
- Geometry, accessibility, source-lineage, and OOXML package-integrity checks.

## Boundaries

This plugin creates a small task-specific `python-pptx` builder only when a PPTX is requested. It does not ship a general renderer, clone templates, require a browser, use an MCP server, or require credentials or an online service.

The combined `pptx-reference-deck-analysis` skill provides the safe, read-only
OOXML utilities. Its optional local dependency is `defusedxml`; task-local
high-level extraction may additionally use `python-pptx`.
