PPT GENERTATION

The problem

Manually designing presentation decks is a time sink that forces developers to wrestle with PowerPoint or Figma layouts instead of focusing on content. Converting markdown or raw notes into professional, visually consistent slides often requires multiple tools and manual formatting.

What it does

• Generates a structured slide-outline.md based on specific topics, audience profiles, and tone requirements.
• Automatically creates individual HTML slides with professional layouts and strong visual hierarchy.
• Integrated image generation via OpenAI for custom visual assets stored in local directories.
• Validates slide integrity and builds a preview viewer to ensure layout consistency before finalizing.
• Handles the pipeline from raw concept to build-ready assets in a single-pass workflow.

Frameworks & tools

HTML, CSS, OpenAI DALL-E (via image generation tool), and the slides-grab CLI utility.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Writing a prompt to "make a presentation" usually results in a wall of text. This skill enforces a strict multi-file architectural pattern, manages asset paths correctly, and prepares the deck for backend PDF/PPTX conversion without manual intervention or formatting drift.

Use cases

• Transforming technical documentation or project READMEs into stakeholder-ready presentations.
• Rapidly prototyping slide decks for internal meetings or engineering demos.
• Generating visual presentation assets for automated reporting pipelines.

Known limitations

Requires relative pathing within the decks directory. PPTX and Figma exports are considered experimental and unstable compared to the primary PDF output path.
