pptx · nexu-io — Claude Code skill: read and create presentations
A skill for working with PowerPoint slides in your code editor. Read existing decks, generate new ones, and edit layouts — for executive presentations, training material, and product reviews.
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill pptx -a claude-codeWhat pptx does
pptx lets your agent work with PowerPoint files like text: open ready-made presentations, extract content, create slides from scratch, and adjust layouts. You can ask the agent to assemble a deck from a template and dataset, update a title slide, or redesign slides to match a new brand — all within your project without switching tools.
The skill triggers on commands like "pptx", "powerpoint", "slide deck", "create slides", or "edit pptx". It installs to your agent's skills folder depending on the platform — for Claude Code that's ~/.claude/skills/pptx/, for Cursor it's .cursor/skills/pptx/.
What it helps with
- generate slides from data and templates
- edit layouts and presentation design
- read content from existing decks
- assemble business presentations in code
Example prompts for the agent
- Create a slide deck with test results from this CSV
- Edit the layouts in this pptx file to match our brand guidelines
- Read this presentation and extract the key points from each slide
