| description | Create and edit presentation slide decks (`.pptx`) with PptxGenJS, bundled layout helpers, and render/validation utilities. Use when tasks involve building a new PowerPoint deck, recreating slides from screenshots/PDFs/reference decks, modifying slide content while preserving editable output, adding charts/diagrams/visuals, or diagnosing layout issues such as overflow, overlaps, and font substitution. |
Slides
Overview
Use PptxGenJS for slide authoring. Do not use python-pptx for deck generation unless the task is inspection-only; keep editable output in JavaScript and deliver both the .pptx and the source .js.
Keep work in a task-local directory. Only copy final artifacts to the requested destination after rendering and validation pass.
Bundled Resources
assets/pptxgenjs_helpers/: Copy this folder into the deck workspace and import it locally instead of reimplementing helper logic.scripts/render_slides.py: Rasterize a .pptx or .pdf to per-slide PNGs.scripts/slides_test.py: Detect content that overflows the slide canvas.scripts/create_montage.py: Build a contact-sheet style montage of rendered slides.scripts/detect_font.py: Report missing or substituted fonts as LibreOffice resolves them.scripts/ensure_raster_image.py: Convert HEIC/PDF-like assets into PNGs for quick inspection.references/pptxgenjs-helpers.md: Load only when you need API details or dependency notes.
Workflow
- Inspect the request and determine whether you are creating a new deck, recreating an existing deck, or editing one.
- Set the slide size up front. Default to 16:9 () unless the source material clearly uses another aspect ratio.
