Extract Slide Text from PowerPoint

Description

Extracts all text content from each slide of the PowerPoint file (content/Kubernetes Technical Primer.pptx) and writes individual Markdown files to content/text-extract/. Each file is named slide-<N>.md (1-indexed) and contains a # Slide N heading followed by the text content of that slide.

The Python extraction script (extract-slides.py) is co-located with this skill in .github/skills/extract-slides/.

When to Use

• When slides are added, removed, or edited in the PPTX source file
• When the text extract files need to be regenerated to stay in sync with the presentation
• After any changes to the PowerPoint content

Steps

1. Create a Python virtual environment if one does not already exist: python -m venv .venv
2. Activate it: source .venv/bin/activate
3. Install the required dependency: pip install python-pptx
4. Run the extraction script: python .github/skills/extract-slides/extract-slides.py
5. The script will process all slides and write/overwrite the Markdown files in content/text-extract/
6. Verify the output by checking the generated files match the slide count
