description	Create, inspect, edit, template, render, and verify PowerPoint PPTX presentations using Qubicl's pinned local presentation tools. Use for slide decks, speaker notes, charts, images, templates, and visual presentation review.

PowerPoint workflows

Keep decks and rendered previews under /home/qubicl. Obtain this skill's resourceRoot from skill_view and run bundled helpers with /opt/qubicl/skills-venv/bin/python. Qubicl computer and workstation images contain the pinned PPTX library; do not install dependencies during a task.

Useful helpers beneath <resourceRoot>/scripts/:

• pptx_read.py FILE --outline|--notes|--images DIR
• pptx_create.py SPEC.json OUTPUT.pptx
• pptx_edit.py FILE for text, charts, images, slide order, backgrounds, links, footers, and notes
• pptx_from_template.py TEMPLATE.pptx OUTPUT.pptx --values VALUES.json
• pptx_render.py FILE --outdir DIR

Inspect the source deck before editing. Prefer a new output for structural changes. Validate by reading the resulting outline and notes. On workstation computers, render slides through LibreOffice and Poppler for visual QA; on computer computers, structured operations remain available but rendering may be unavailable. Check representative first, middle, and last slides rather than assuming a successful save preserved layout.
