Unified presentation skill for Cloud Solution Architects. Orchestrates multiple specialized tools to create professional presentations, architecture diagrams, and technical content. Use this skill whenever the user mentions: creating slides, PPT, presentations, deck, 演示文稿, 幻灯片, architecture diagrams for slides, filling templates, customer demos, tech sharing, workshops, or any combination of diagrams + slides. Also trigger when the user provides a .pptx template to fill, asks to visualize cloud architectures (Azure, AWS, GCP, multi-cloud) in a presentation context, or needs Chinese-language slide content. This skill covers ALL presentation-related work — from a quick internal deck to a polished customer-facing solution demo with architecture diagrams.

Use this skill for local PPTX slide operations: inspect slide count and titles, delete specific slides, reorder slides, extract a subset of slides into a new file, and merge multiple PPTX files. Also supports editing existing PPTX via JSON edit plan and template-based generation. For creating new presentations from scratch, prefer the pptx skill (html2pptx) instead. Python 3.8+ is required.

AI image generation skill using Azure OpenAI GPT-image-2 model. Generates photorealistic illustrations, conceptual visuals, scene imagery, hero backgrounds, and custom icons for presentations. Use this skill when slides need visual storytelling beyond structural diagrams — cover art, industry scenario photos, abstract concept illustrations, product UI mockups, or decorative backgrounds. Complements azure-diagrams (architecture) and excalidraw-diagram (hand-drawn) by providing the "visual expression layer" that programmatic tools cannot produce. Supports Chinese/English/Japanese/Korean text rendering in images. Output: PNG files ready for embedding into slides via the pptx skill.

Comprehensive technical diagramming toolkit for solutions architects, presales, and developers. Creates Azure architecture diagrams (700+ official Microsoft icons), business process flows (swimlanes, workflows), ERD diagrams (database schemas), project timelines, UI wireframes, and network topology diagrams. Perfect for proposals, documentation, and architecture reviews. Also generates diagrams from Bicep, Terraform, and ARM templates. IMPORTANT - When creating PPT/presentations that include cloud architecture content (Azure, AWS, GCP), this skill MUST be used to generate architecture diagrams with official cloud provider icons. Output PNGs can be embedded directly into slides via the pptx skill.

Create Excalidraw diagram JSON files that make visual arguments. Use when the user wants to visualize workflows, architectures, or concepts with a hand-drawn or whiteboard aesthetic. IMPORTANT - When the user explicitly requests hand-drawn (手绘), sketch (草图), whiteboard, or conceptual diagrams for PPT/presentations, this skill MUST be used. It produces .excalidraw JSON + rendered PNG that can be embedded into slides. Use detect_excalidraw.py to identify slides needing this style and validate outputs.

Presentation creation, editing, and analysis. When Claude needs to work with presentations (.pptx files) for: (1) Creating new presentations, (2) Modifying or editing content, (3) Working with layouts, (4) Adding comments or speaker notes, or any other presentation tasks

Create stunning, animation-rich HTML presentations from scratch or by converting PowerPoint files. Use when the user wants to build a presentation, convert a PPT/PPTX to web, or create slides for a talk/pitch. Helps non-designers discover their aesthetic through visual exploration rather than abstract choices.

Implements Manus-style file-based planning to organize and track progress on complex tasks. Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Use when asked to plan out, break down, or organize a multi-step project, research task, or any work requiring >5 tool calls. Supports automatic session recovery after /clear.
