What pptx-deck-context does

The skill establishes the deck story, tracks source lineage, and locks design rules before slide generation starts. It confirms audience expectations and brand constraints up front. Framework choice is never silent. The assistant offers options like mckinsey, scqa, pyramid, mece, action-title, assertion-evidence, or exec-summary-first.

Every claim, quote, or chart value receives a stable source identifier in summary. Visual decisions draw from a brand guide, reference deck evidence, or profiles in references/design-profiles.md. Layout never relies on automatic positioning engines. Fills, spacing, and bounding boxes must be declared explicitly.

Use this skill when presenting analysis that demands verified sources. If you only need a fast throwaway outline, the upfront verification creates unnecessary friction.

What it helps with

  • Lock the presentation narrative before authoring slide objects
  • Map metrics and quotations to persistent source identifiers
  • Establish explicit typography and fills without layout engines
  • Summarize dense source documents into decision-relevant excerpts

Example prompts for the agent

  • Prepare the presentation context using the scqa framework
  • Lock sources and design specifications before generating PPTX slides

# PPTX Deck Context

Prepare the deck before coordinates or PPTX objects are authored. This skill owns the business narrative, source lineage, and design lock.

## Decision sequence

1. Confirm audience, decision, slide count, language, sources, and brand requirements.
2. Use the user-selected narrative framework. If none is specified, offer `mckinsey`, `scqa`, `pyramid`, `mece`, `action-title`, `assertion-evidence`, `exec-summary-first`, or `custom`; do not choose silently.
3. Assign stable source IDs and plan a `source_ref` for every metric, quotation, chart value, and factual claim.
4. Choose a documented design direction. Prefer a user brand guide, then read-only reference-deck evidence, then a reusable profile from `references/design-profiles.md`.
5. Record the framework, assumptions, source manifest, palette, typography, spacing, and signature elements in `summary` before authoring slides.

## Rules

- One slide should communicate one message, with an action-style title where the framework calls for it.
- Treat design references as design evidence, not content or asset sources.
- Do not copy external fonts, images, icons, or logos without recorded licensing evidence.
- Translate design signals into explicit fills, typography, spacing, and bboxes; do not rely on an automatic layout engine.
- Keep long source material concise. Ask for a summary or decision-relevant excerpt instead of turning a deck spec into a document dump.

See `references/design-profiles.md` for reusable profile guidance.
