BiorOffice — PowerPoint (.pptx)
Use the officecli MCP tool (bioroffice extension). Read the
bioroffice-office-suite skill for the calling convention. For substantive
decks, first call {"command":"load_skill","name":"pptx"} (or pitch-deck /
morph-ppt when those fit) and follow its design rules.
Slides
{"command":"create","file":"/abs/deck.pptx"}
{"command":"add","file":"/abs/deck.pptx","parent":"/","type":"slide",
"props":["title=Q4 Report","background=1A1A2E"]}
Default canvas is 960×540 pt (16:9). Clone a styled slide:
{"command":"add","parent":"/","from":"/slide[1]"} style via batch op add
with from. Reorder with move/swap. Speaker notes:
{"command":"add","parent":"/slide[1]","type":"notes","props":["text=..."]}.
Shapes and text
shape[1] is usually the title placeholder — content shapes start at shape[2].
{"command":"add","file":"/abs/deck.pptx","parent":"/slide[1]","type":"shape",
"props":["text=Revenue grew 25%","x=2cm","y=5cm","w=20cm","h=3cm",
"font=Arial","size=24","color=FFFFFF","bold=true","align=center"]}
Useful shape props: shapeType (rect, roundRect, ellipse, rightArrow…),
fill, line.color, line.width, rotation, shadow, glow,
fill.transparency. Format matched text inside a shape:
set with "find=25%" + format props. Multi-paragraph text: \n in the text
value; per-paragraph control via add type paragraph/run under the shape.
Images, tables, charts
{"command":"add","file":"/abs/deck.pptx","parent":"/slide[2]","type":"picture",
"props":["src=/abs/figure.png","x=1cm","y=3cm","w=10cm","fillMode=contain"]}
{"command":"add","file":"/abs/deck.pptx","parent":"/slide[2]","type":"table",
"props":["rows=3","cols=4","x=2cm","y=4cm","w=20cm"]}
{"command":"add","file":"/abs/deck.pptx","parent":"/slide[3]","type":"chart",
"props":["type=bar","categories=Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4","series=Revenue:10,14,18,25",
"title=Revenue by Quarter","anchor=2cm,4cm,20cm,10cm"]}
Table cells addressed as /slide[N]/table[@id=...]/tr[R]/tc[C] — set text,
fill, bold per cell.
Transitions and animations
{"command":"set","file":"/abs/deck.pptx","path":"/slide[1]","props":["transition=fade"]}
{"command":"add","file":"/abs/deck.pptx","parent":"/slide[1]/shape[2]","type":"animation",
"props":["preset=fadeIn","trigger=onClick"]}
Verify
{"command":"view","mode":"outline"} after each few slides;
{"command":"get","path":"/slide[N]","depth":1} to list shapes with positions;
validate + {"command":"view","mode":"issues"} at the end. For a visual
check, {"command":"view","mode":"html"} or screenshot (slow, needs a
headless browser). Check overlapping/overflowing text with issues.
