PawWork-specific note:
officecliis bundled with PawWork. Ignore the upstream install instructions in this file — do not runcurl ... install.shorirm ... install.ps1. Ifofficecli --versionfails inside PawWork, open Help → Check for Updates (PawWork ships an auto-updater) or reinstall PawWork.
This skill extends morph-ppt. All morph-ppt rules (naming, ghosting, design, verification) apply in full.
This file covers 3D-specific additions and an enriched design system combining morph-ppt aesthetics with concrete color palettes, font pairings, and layout quality guardrails.
If officecli is missing:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/main/install.sh | bashirm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/main/install.ps1 | iexVerify with officecli --version (open a new terminal if PATH hasn't picked up). If install fails, download a binary from https://github.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/releases.
.pptx with a .glb 3D model and Morph transitions..glb is supported. If user provides .fbx / .obj / .blend / .usdz / .gltf, ask them to convert to .glb first (e.g. via Blender export)..glb, .pptx, build script) must be in the same working directory.When the user gives a topic but no .glb file, proactively help them find a matching model instead of just listing websites.
Based on the user's topic, suggest what kind of 3D model would work:
| Topic type | Model suggestion | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Product/brand | The actual product or a similar one | "coffee brand" → coffee cup, coffee machine, bean |
| Animal/character | The animal or mascot | "fox mascot" → fox 3D model |
| Architecture/space | Building, room, or structure | "new office" → office building, interior |
| Vehicle/transport | The vehicle itself | "EV launch" → car, motorcycle, bicycle |
| Food/cooking | The dish or ingredient | "Japanese food" → sushi platter, ramen bowl |
| Tech/gadget | The device | "phone launch" → phone, tablet, laptop |
| Nature/science | The subject | "solar system" → planet, sun, earth |
| Abstract concept | A symbolic object | "teamwork" → puzzle pieces, gears, bridge |
Tell the user: "Your topic is [X]. I suggest using a 3D model of [description]. Here are some free sources to find one:"
Proactively search for models on behalf of the user. Don't just list websites — actually find candidates.
Search strategy (try in order):
Web search for free GLB models matching the topic:
Search: "[topic keyword] 3d model glb free download"
Example: "fox 3d model glb free download"
Sketchfab API (no auth needed for search):
curl -s "https://api.sketchfab.com/v3/search?type=models&q=[keyword]&downloadable=true&archives_flavours=glb" \
| python3 -c "
import json, sys
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
for m in data.get('results', [])[:5]:
print(f\"Name: {m['name']}\")
print(f\"URL: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/{m['slug']}-{m['uid']}\")
print(f\"Likes: {m.get('likeCount', 0)}, License: {m.get('license', {}).get('label', 'unknown')}\")
print()
"
Poly Pizza (direct GLB download, all free):
# Search results page — parse for download links
curl -s "https://poly.pizza/api/search/[keyword]" 2>/dev/null
Khronos glTF-Sample-Assets (guaranteed to work, always available):
# Direct download — no auth, no API, always works
curl -L -o model.glb "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Assets/main/Models/[ModelName]/glTF-Binary/[ModelName].glb"
Available models: Duck, Fox, Avocado, BrainStem, CesiumMan, DamagedHelmet, FlightHelmet, Lantern, Suzanne, WaterBottle, etc.
Show the user 2-3 model options with:
Example response:
Based on your topic "fox mascot", here are some models I found:
1. Fox (Khronos sample)
Direct download, guaranteed compatible
Why: clean fox model, good for mascot/character decks
2. Low Poly Fox (Poly Pizza)
URL: https://poly.pizza/m/xxx
License: CC0 (completely free)
Why: low-poly style, good fit for clean minimal design
3. Cartoon Fox (Sketchfab)
URL: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/fox-xxx
License: CC BY 4.0 (free, commercial use ok)
Why: expressive face, high detail
Which one do you want? I'll download it and start building.
Wait for user confirmation before downloading. Do not download without asking.
After user confirms, download directly:
# For Sketchfab (if user has the download URL)
curl -L -o model.glb "[download_url]"
# For Khronos samples (always works)
curl -L -o model.glb "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Assets/main/Models/Fox/glTF-Binary/Fox.glb"
After download, verify:
.glbIf Sketchfab requires login to download, tell the user:
"This model requires a Sketchfab login to download. You can grab the .glb file from the page and share it with me. Or I can use a Khronos sample model for a demo version first?"
Don't just grab a random model. First guide the user to clarify their PPT topic:
Sure! I'll handle the model — but let me confirm the topic direction first so the model matches the content:
- Tech/Product — headphones, phone, robot...
- Animal/Character — cute pet, cartoon character...
- Architecture/Space — building, interior, city...
- Food/Lifestyle — dishes, everyday objects...
- Other — just tell me your idea
Pick a direction, or just give me a topic keyword.
After user confirms a direction, THEN search and recommend models.
Give specific website links with step-by-step guidance:
Recommended 3D model websites:
- Sketchfab (largest 3D model platform)
- Link: https://sketchfab.com/search?q=[keyword]&type=models&downloadable=true
- Filter steps: search keyword → check "Downloadable" → format "glTF" → sort by "Likes"
- When downloading, select glTF (.glb) format
- Note: some models require free registration to download
- Poly Pizza (all free low-poly)
- Link: https://poly.pizza/
- All CC0 licensed — click Download to get .glb directly
- Best for: minimalist or cartoon-style presentations
- Sketchfab popular categories
- Animals: https://sketchfab.com/search?q=animal&type=models&downloadable=true
- Food: https://sketchfab.com/search?q=food&type=models&downloadable=true
- Tech: https://sketchfab.com/search?q=gadget&type=models&downloadable=true
- Architecture: https://sketchfab.com/search?q=architecture&type=models&downloadable=true
- Free3D (general free model site)
- Link: https://free3d.com/3d-models/glb
- Note: check the license type before use
- TurboSquid Free (pro model site free section)
After downloading, share the .glb file with me. If the download is a .gltf folder, use Blender to convert it to .glb.
Remind about token cost before searching:
I can search for you, but web searches use extra tokens. Would you prefer:
A. I search — I use the Sketchfab API and recommend 2-3 options (uses a few tokens) B. Self-service — I give you search links and filter steps, you pick and share with me (no extra tokens)
A or B?
If user chooses A, proceed with Step 2 (agent-driven search). If user chooses B, proceed with Step 6 (self-service guidance).
Always remind before confirming download: "Please check the model license before downloading. CC0 / CC BY = free to use; CC BY-NC = non-commercial only."
morph-ppt provides the base design rules. This section adds concrete palettes, font pairings, and layout quality rules from PPT Creator to give the AI more variety and stronger guardrails.
Choose a palette that matches the topic mood — don't default to generic blue.

H4 — Body text minimum 16pt: All body text, card content, and bullet points must be >= 16pt. "Content doesn't fit" is not an excuse — reduce text, split slides, or reduce card count instead. Exceptions: chart axis labels (<=12pt), short sublabels (<=14pt, max 5 words), footnotes.
H6 — Dark background contrast:
When slide background brightness < 30% (e.g. 1E2761, 36454F, 000000), ALL body text, card content, chart labels, and icon fills MUST use white (FFFFFF) or near-white (brightness > 80%). Never use mid-gray or muted colors as body text on dark backgrounds.
H7 — Speaker notes required: Every content slide (not title/closing) MUST have speaker notes. Use:
officecli add deck.pptx '/slide[N]' --type notes --prop text="..."
Every 3 content slides, at least 1 must contain a non-text visual element:
| Visual type | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Icon in colored circle | ellipse shape + centered text/number overlay |
| Colored block | preset=roundRect with fill |
| Large stat number | size=64, bold=true with small label below |
| Chart | --type chart (column/pie/line) |
| Gradient background | background=COLOR1-COLOR2-180 |
| Shape composition | circles + connectors for diagrams |
Text-only slides are only allowed for: quotes, code examples, pure tables.
morph_clone_slide copies the model as frozen XML. The cloned model cannot Morph.
Each slide must call add --type 3dmodel independently with the same name prop.
⚠️ CRITICAL: If you clone a slide that already has a 3D model, the old model XML is copied too. This creates TWO model3d elements with the same name on the new slide. PowerPoint cannot handle this conflict and will delete the model content during repair.
If you must clone a slide for scene actors, immediately remove the cloned model before adding a new one:
# After cloning slide 1 to slide 2:
officecli remove deck.pptx '/slide[2]/model3d[1]' # remove the frozen clone
officecli add deck.pptx '/slide[2]' --type 3dmodel ... # add fresh model
Recommended approach: Do NOT clone slides with 3D models at all. Create all slides empty first, then add models fresh on each.
# Slide 1
officecli add deck.pptx '/slide[1]' --type 3dmodel \
--prop path=model.glb --prop 'name=!!model-hero' \
--prop x=16cm --prop y=1cm --prop width=16cm --prop height=16cm \
--prop roty=0
# Slide 2
officecli add deck.pptx '/slide[2]' --type 3dmodel \
--prop path=model.glb --prop 'name=!!model-hero' \
--prop x=0.5cm --prop y=1cm --prop width=18cm --prop height=17cm \
--prop roty=50
| Property | What it does | Notes |
|---|---|---|
x, y | Position on slide | Standard slide coordinates |
width, height | Frame size | Model renders inside this frame |
name | Shape name | Must be identical across slides for Morph |
roty | Y-axis rotation (degrees) | Primary storytelling axis |
rotx | X-axis tilt (degrees) | Range -25 to +40. See Camera Language section |
rotz | Z-axis roll (degrees) | Rarely needed |
meterPerModelUnit — auto-computed from GLB bounding boxpreTrans — auto-computed for model centeringcamera depth/position — auto-computed to fit the modelraw-set on any 3D transform parameterThe model must feel like the protagonist of the presentation, not a sidebar decoration. Text supports the model; the model does not decorate the text.
Adjacent slides must have a model area ratio >= 1.5x or <= 0.67x.
Compute area as width × height. If slide N model is 16×15=240 cm², slide N+1 must be >= 360 or <= 160.
Never use similar sizes on consecutive slides. This is the single most important rule for visual energy.
| Size tier | Width | Height | Area (approx) | When to use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XL (bleed) | 28-36cm | 22-28cm | 600-1000 | Close-up, model extends beyond slide edges |
| L (hero) | 18-24cm | 15-19cm | 270-456 | Title, closing, dramatic moments |
| M (split) | 13-17cm | 12-16cm | 156-272 | Standard content pages with text |
| S (accent) | 5-10cm | 5-10cm | 25-100 | Data-heavy pages, model as icon |
A — Model right, content left (content pages) Content at x=1-14cm. Model at x=15-20cm, width 14-18cm.
B — Model left, content right (alternate with A) Model at x=0-2cm, width 14-18cm. Content at x=18-32cm.
C — Model centered, text overlay (title/closing) Model centered large (18-24cm). Text at slide top or bottom.
D — Model small corner, content dominant (data pages) Model 5-10cm in any corner. Content fills the rest.
E — Model as backdrop (impact/quote pages) Model XL (28-36cm), centered, partially cropped by slide edges. Text overlaid directly on top of model area with high-contrast color. The model becomes the "canvas" — text lives inside the model's space.
# Pattern E: model fills slide as backdrop
officecli add deck.pptx '/slide[N]' --type 3dmodel \
--prop path=model.glb --prop 'name=!!model-hero' \
--prop x=-2cm --prop y=-2cm --prop width=38cm --prop height=24cm \
--prop roty=45 --prop rotx=10
# Text overlaid on model
officecli add deck.pptx '/slide[N]' --type shape \
--prop 'name=#sN-quote' --prop text="Key insight here" \
--prop x=3cm --prop y=7cm --prop width=28cm --prop height=5cm \
--prop size=44 --prop bold=true --prop color=FFFFFF --prop fill=none
F — Model bleed edge (transition/teaser pages) Model partially off-screen (negative x or y, or x+width > 33.87cm). Only part of the model visible — implies more beyond the frame.
# Pattern F: model bleeds off right edge
officecli add deck.pptx '/slide[N]' --type 3dmodel \
--prop path=model.glb --prop 'name=!!model-hero' \
--prop x=20cm --prop y=-1cm --prop width=24cm --prop height=22cm \
--prop roty=70
Never repeat the same pattern on consecutive slides. Example:
Slide 1: C (centered hero, L)
Slide 2: E (backdrop close-up, XL) ← 1.5x+ area jump
Slide 3: A (model right, M) ← pull back
Slide 4: F (bleed edge, L) ← push in
Slide 5: D (small corner, S) ← dramatic pull back
Slide 6: B (model left, M) ← grow
Slide 7: C (centered closing, L) ← push in
Text boxes must never overlap each other or the model frame.
Rules:
y must account for the title's actual height, not the planned height. Safe formula: body_y = title_y + title_height + 0.5cm3-4cm, body 6-8cm, bullets 8-10cm.x=15cm, text x + width must be <= 14cm.y=0.5-2cm) or bottom (y=14-17cm), NOT in the vertical middle where the model lives (y=3-13cm).officecli get deck.pptx '/slide[N]' --depth 1
# Check: no two shapes share overlapping x/y/width/height ranges
Not every model looks good when cropped. Bleed (Pattern E/F) works best for:
Bleed does NOT work for:
For character/animal models (like fox, duck, avocado): keep the full model visible on all slides. Use size changes (L→M→S) for rhythm instead of bleed cropping. Use rotx for angle variety instead.
Three tools work together: roty (orbit), rotx (tilt), width/height (zoom).
| Shot | Size | rotx | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Establishing | L (18-24cm) | 0-5 | Title, intro, closing |
| Three-quarter beauty | L (16-20cm) | 5-10 | Hero, first impression |
| Close-up | XL (28-36cm), cropped | 0-10 | Feature highlight, detail |
| Bird's eye | M (13-17cm) | 25-40 | Structure, overview |
| Low angle | L (16-20cm) | -15 to -25 | Power, drama |
| Side profile | M (13-16cm) | 0 | Form factor, silhouette |
| Over-the-shoulder | S (5-10cm) | 10-15 | Data-heavy, model as accent |
Match the shot to what the slide talks about:
roty=0, XL croppedroty=90, Mroty=30, rotx=35, Mroty=20, rotx=-20, Lroty=60, S in corner| Slide | Shot | roty | rotx | Size | Pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Three-quarter beauty | 30 | 8 | L 20×17 | C |
| 2 | Close-up | 0 | 5 | XL 30×24 | E |
| 3 | Side profile | 80 | 0 | M 15×14 | A |
| 4 | Bird's eye | 120 | 35 | M 14×13 | B |
| 5 | Low angle | 170 | -20 | L 20×18 | F |
| 6 | Over-the-shoulder | 220 | 10 | S 8×7 | D |
| 7 | Establishing | 320 | 5 | L 20×17 | C |
In brief.md, add a Model Choreography Table:
| Slide | Pattern | Size Tier | Model x,y,w,h | roty | rotx |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | C | L | 7,0.5,20,17 | 30 | 8 |
| 2 | E | XL | -2,-2,38,24 | 0 | 5 |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
Verify the area ratio rule (>= 1.5x between adjacent rows) before proceeding to build.
Since models cannot be cloned, the build script differs from standard morph-ppt:
!!scene-*) on slide 1, then clone slides for morph continuitymodel_positions = [
{"slide": 1, "x": "7cm", "y": "0.5cm", "w": "20cm", "h": "17cm", "roty": 30},
{"slide": 2, "x": "-2cm", "y": "-2cm", "w": "38cm", "h": "24cm", "roty": 0},
{"slide": 3, "x": "16cm", "y": "1cm", "w": "15cm", "h": "14cm", "roty": 80},
# ...
]
for pos in model_positions:
run("officecli", "add", OUTPUT, f"/slide[{pos['slide']}]", "--type", "3dmodel",
"--prop", f"path={MODEL}", "--prop", "name=!!model-hero",
"--prop", f"x={pos['x']}", "--prop", f"y={pos['y']}",
"--prop", f"width={pos['w']}", "--prop", f"height={pos['h']}",
"--prop", f"roty={pos['roty']}")
After standard morph verification, additionally check:
model3d elementname propAll files must be in the same working directory.
Deliverables (exactly 4 files, no more):
.glb model file (the 3D model used in the deck).pptxbrief.mdDo NOT create additional files such as outline.md, quality-report.md, test-report.md, etc. All planning goes in brief.md, all verification output goes to stdout. Extra files confuse users.
Do not scatter model files across unrelated paths.
Use this skill when the user wants a .pptx with smooth cross-slide animation — PowerPoint Morph transitions, Keynote-style continuous motion, shapes that grow / move / rotate as the slide advances. Trigger on: 'morph', 'morph transition', 'smooth transition', 'continuous animation across slides', 'Keynote-style transition', 'animated slide sequence', 'shape continuity across slides'. Output is a single .pptx. This skill is a scene layer on top of officecli-pptx — inherits every pptx v2 rule (visual floor, grid, palettes, connector canon, Delivery Gate 1–5a). DO NOT invoke for a generic deck, pitch deck, or board review without cross-slide motion — route those to officecli-pptx base or officecli-pitch-deck.
Use this skill to build academic-style .docx output: journal / conference / thesis chapters carrying formal citation style (APA, Chicago, IEEE, MLA), numbered equations, figure & table cross-references, footnotes/endnotes, bibliography, or multi-column journal layout. Trigger on: 'research paper', 'journal paper', 'conference paper', 'manuscript', 'thesis', 'APA', 'MLA', 'Chicago', 'IEEE two-column', 'bibliography', 'hanging indent', 'citation style', 'abstract + keywords', 'equation numbering', 'cross-reference', paper with footnotes/endnotes. Output is a single .docx.
Use this skill to build a multi-element Excel dashboard — Dashboard sheet on open, multiple formula-driven KPI cards, multiple charts, sparklines, and conditional formatting — from CSV or tabular input. Trigger on: 'dashboard', 'KPI dashboard', 'analytics dashboard', 'executive dashboard', 'metrics dashboard', 'CSV to dashboard', 'data visualization'. Output is a single .xlsx. Scene-layer on officecli-xlsx: inherits every xlsx hard rule. DO NOT invoke for: a single budget tracker / one-sheet CSV-with-formatting (use xlsx), a 3-statement / DCF / LBO financial model (use financial-model), a weekly report with ≤ 1 chart and < 10 rows (use xlsx).
Use this skill any time a .docx file is involved -- as input, output, or both. This includes: creating Word documents, reports, letters, memos, or proposals; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .docx file; editing, modifying, or updating existing documents; working with templates, tracked changes, comments, headers/footers, or tables of contents. Trigger whenever the user mentions 'Word doc', 'document', 'report', 'letter', 'memo', or references a .docx filename.
Use this skill when the user wants to build a financial model — 3-statement model, DCF valuation, LBO, SaaS unit economics, sensitivity / scenario analysis, debt schedule, or fundraising projections — in Excel. Trigger on: 'financial model', '3-statement model', 'P&L + BS + CF', 'DCF', 'WACC', 'NPV', 'terminal value', 'LBO', 'debt schedule', 'cash sweep', 'MOIC', 'IRR / XIRR', 'sensitivity table', 'scenario analysis', 'ARR model', 'unit economics', 'CAC / LTV', 'cap table forecast'. Output is a single formula-driven .xlsx. This skill is a scene layer on top of officecli-xlsx — it inherits every xlsx v2 rule (4-color code, visual floor, number formats, cache-drift, Known Issues, Delivery Gate minimum cycle). DO NOT invoke for a simple budget tracker, CSV dump, or operational KPI sheet — route those to officecli-xlsx base.
Use this skill when the user is building a fundraising / investor pitch deck — seed, Series A / B / C, convertible note, SAFE round, strategic raise. Trigger on: 'pitch deck', 'investor deck', 'Series A deck', 'Series B deck', 'Series C deck', 'fundraising deck', 'seed pitch', 'VC deck', 'raising capital', 'term sheet presentation'. Output is a single .pptx. This skill is a scene layer on top of officecli-pptx — inherits every pptx v2 rule (visual floor, grid, palettes, connector canon, Delivery Gate). DO NOT invoke for a generic board review, sales deck, all-hands, or product launch — route those to officecli-pptx base.
