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.
