Based on SOC occupation classification
Produce a labeled figure with PERFECT text — render a label-free image locally (or take an external image) then overlay leader lines and typeset labels programmatically from vision-derived anchor coordinates. Text is correct by construction; only pointer placement is reviewed.
Ask which image models fit a set of tasks — get evidence-based recommendations with per-image costs, which external services to pay for, and which local models to install (with disk/RAM/licence guidance). Reads the live model catalog and probes what is actually available on this machine.
Check mflux (MLX) availability, per-family runtime presence, cached weights, and report readiness status.
Top-level image orchestrator. Routes all slide image generation to the appropriate skill (jack-tar-ollama:image, jack-tar-ollama:icon, jack-tar-ollama:pattern, jack-tar-ollama:diagram, jack-tar-cloud:image, jack-tar-cloud:icon, render_chart). Produces ImageManifest and ChartManifest. Also reads strategy-map.json to determine per-slide rendering approach (full_render, backdrop_render, composed).
Meta-verify — discover all jack-tar engine plugins, call each verify, report aggregate pipeline capability and discipline-hook readiness.
Generate an image locally on Apple Silicon via the mflux CLI (MLX). Flag-compatible with jack-tar-ollama's /image — a $0 local tier, no API keys needed.

If python-pptx or lxml is None (not installed), report NOT_AVAILABLE.
Count how many layout directories exist under the plugin's data/smartart_layouts/ directory. Each should contain layout.xml, quickStyle.xml, colors.xml, and meta.json. Run this from the plugin directory:
python3 -c "
from pathlib import Path
import sys
plugin_root = Path(sys.argv[1])
data_dir = plugin_root / 'data' / 'smartart_layouts'
if not data_dir.exists():
print('MISSING')
sys.exit(1)
complete = [d for d in data_dir.iterdir() if d.is_dir() and (d / 'layout.xml').exists() and (d / 'meta.json').exists()]
print(f'{len(complete)} layouts present')
" /path/to/plugin/root
(The skill will discover the plugin root via Path(file) in the actual execution context.)
Attempt to render a minimal process1 SmartArt carrier to a temp directory. If render succeeds, engine is working.
