presentation-deck

name	presentation-deck
description	Unlocks the deck_author and deck_author_edit tools — generate and edit any kind of PowerPoint presentation (status report, pitch, overview, proposal, review, kickoff) from the TensorPM project. A planner builds the narrative from the project graph (invents nothing), an art director commits to a design, then the deck is freely composed, sandbox-rendered and auto-repaired.

Presentation Deck (PPTX)

When this skill is installed in the project, two tools become available: deck_author (new deck) and deck_author_edit (change an existing deck). They produce a polished 16:9 PowerPoint for any purpose — a status report for the client, an investor pitch, a project overview, a proposal, a review — driven by what you ask for.

You no longer orchestrate this yourself: a planner pulls the content from the project, an art director decides the design, and the tool composes the layout, renders it in the sandbox and auto-repairs errors. TensorPM saves the .pptx under exports/presentation-deck/ and stores a per-project edit record so later deck_author_edit calls can recompose the same deck. You steer with two levers.

Create a deck — deck_author

• intent (required) — the content lever: the purpose + focus. E.g. "investor pitch, focus on market and traction" or "status report for the client, focus on delay and open approvals". This drives what story gets told.
• designBrief (optional) — the design lever: tone, brand colours (hex), visual language. E.g. "bold, high contrast, full-bleed accent, brand colour 1F3A5F". Leave it empty to let the art director decide.
• audience (optional) — who the deck is for (e.g. "client", "investors", "project team"). Steers tone and structure.

The result includes a deckId, the saved path (savedTo under exports/presentation-deck/), and the slide/chart counts. Remember the deckId — you need it to make changes.

Edit a deck — deck_author_edit

• deckId (required) — from a previous deck_author result.
• instruction (required) — the change in words, e.g. "bigger title", "budget as a grouped bar chart", "remove slide 3", "accent colour 2E7D32".

The deck is recomposed from the previous script and saved under the same deckId. Only works for decks created with deck_author.

Principles

• Invent no data. Content is pulled only from the project graph; if something is missing (no milestones/risks), that slide is dropped rather than padded.
• Steer with intent and designBrief, not micro-management. Describe the purpose and the desired effect; the tool chooses the narrative, the slide archetypes and the layout.
• Iterate via deck_author_edit — no need to rebuild from scratch.
• There is no separate render or content step and no execute_code calls for this deck: everything runs through the two tools above.
