How it works

hands-on-deck

When your agent uses it

Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes reading, analyzing, or extracting content from presentations; editing text, images, styles, or layout of existing decks; creating new slides, shapes, tables, or pictures; reordering, duplicating, or merging slides across decks; and verifying decks visually. Trigger whenever the user mentions a deck, slides, a presentation, or a .pptx filename.

The playbook

  1. The edit loop
  2. Patch ops at a glance
  3. Creating slides from HTML (html2patch)
  4. Deck structure (subcommands, not patch ops)
  5. Building a deck from a template (the human workflow)
  6. Verification
  7. Escape hatch
  8. Dependencies

# hands-on-deck — agent-native PPTX manipulation

One tool does everything: `scripts/deck.py`. You write a JSON *patch* describing your edits; deck.py validates and executes it atomically, then lints the result. You never need to open slide XML for routine work.

**Golden rules** (the tool enforces and repeats these):
- ALL slide indices are 0-based, everywhere. Shapes are addressed by stable native ids (`s12`) or unique shape name.
- Positions and sizes are inches from the slide's top-left.
- Patches are atomic: every op is pre-validated (all errors reported at once, with the slide's real shape listing), then applied all-or-nothing.

**Full reference**: `python scripts/deck.py docs` — prints every op with semantics and recipes; needs no file. Read it before writing your first patch.
