# image-to-editable-ppt Turns slide screenshots, scanned or image-only PPT/PPTX files and PDF decks into a .pptx where text, shapes and pictures stay separate editable objects. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 1900 installs · ★ 3101 - Author: ningzimu - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/ningzimu/image-to-editable-ppt-skill/tree/HEAD/skills/image-to-editable-ppt/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-09-16 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/image-to-editable-ppt ## What it does The skill takes a flat slide apart layer by layer, then assembles it again as a `.pptx` where a headline is a real text box and a picture moves independently of the background. Speaker notes come along when they were supplied. Input can be one image, several images, a PDF, or a PPT/PPTX whose slides lost their objects long ago. It does not author a new deck from scratch. Under the hood sits the `editppt` runtime, and it is not optional. `editppt prepare ` creates the run directory; after that only CLI commands move the state forward, because hand-edited run JSON breaks resumability. Multi-page input goes to per-page workers. No subagent capability plus more than one page means the skill stops and reports it rather than dumping the whole deck on the parent agent. A single page gets rebuilt locally after `editppt run dispatch --local`. OCR (PaddleOCR) and an image backend are part of the path: the built-in `image_gen.imagegen` first, `editppt image generate/edit` as fallback. Which means page images leave your machine. On an NDA deck that is a reason to mark the run local-only or confidential before starting — the skill honours such a request. And run `editppt --help` early: if it fails, install the runtime first instead of trying to convert. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add ningzimu/image-to-editable-ppt-skill --skill image-to-editable-ppt -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/image-to-editable-ppt/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/image-to-editable-ppt/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add ningzimu/image-to-editable-ppt-skill --skill image-to-editable-ppt -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/image-to-editable-ppt/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add ningzimu/image-to-editable-ppt-skill --skill image-to-editable-ppt -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/image-to-editable-ppt/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install ningzimu/image-to-editable-ppt-skill image-to-editable-ppt ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/image-to-editable-ppt/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add ningzimu/image-to-editable-ppt-skill --skill image-to-editable-ppt -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/ningzimu/image-to-editable-ppt-skill --path skills/image-to-editable-ppt ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/image-to-editable-ppt/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add ningzimu/image-to-editable-ppt-skill --skill image-to-editable-ppt -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/ningzimu/image-to-editable-ppt-skill/tree/HEAD/skills/image-to-editable-ppt/SKILL.md ## When to use it - turn slide screenshots into an editable `.pptx` - rebuild a scanned deck with real text boxes and shapes - recover objects from a PDF deck of flat pages - carry speaker notes through a rebuild - repair one bad page without redoing the deck ## Example prompts - Rebuild `deck.pdf` as an editable `.pptx`, with every headline and image as its own object - Reconstruct the slide in `shot.png` and keep the notes from `notes.txt` - Page 3 came out wrong — rerun just that page, leave the rest alone ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 91b528438adaa294 ```text --- name: image-to-editable-ppt description: Rebuild slide images, scanned or image-based PPT/PPTX files, and PDF decks into object-level editable PowerPoint (.pptx), preserving speaker notes when supplied. Use for making visual slides editable or reconstructing slides from screenshots; not for authoring new presentations from scratch. --- # Image to Editable PPT ## Overview Use the `editppt` runtime to decompose, reconstruct, validate, and assemble visual slides as editable `.pptx`. Inputs may be single or multiple images, PDF, or image-based PPT/PPTX. ## References Each rule in this skill has exactly one authoritative home; the other files point to it instead of restating it. - `prompts/page-worker.md`: execution template for page workers — ownership boundary, execution order, required outputs, and return format. The parent agent uses it when generating page-worker prompts. - `scripts/build-page-worker-prompt.py`: skill-local prompt builder. It reads `prompts/page-worker.md`, fills run/page paths, writes `worker-prompt.md`, and prints the dispatch command template. - `references/cli-helper.md`: CLI install check (Pre-Run Check), command tree, and command syntax examples. Read it when deciding which `editppt` command to call. - `references/manifest-schema.md`: the single home for JSON field contracts of deck/page/image artifacts — required manifest fields, positioned-object coordinates, `validation.json`, and `page_result.json` shapes. Read it when writing or validating any run/page file. - `references/page-decision-tree.md`: the single source of truth for page object decisions — background handling, foreground asset separation, native shapes, formulas, text-hints usage, the final self-check, and the fix-versus-warning split. Read its common decision boundaries first, then the sections relevant to the page inventory; the page prompt provides the reading route. ## Entry Contract These parent-level rules are stated once here; page-level rules live in the references above and are not restated in this file. ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 91b528438adaa294 The third-party file has ended.
