slide-outline

# Markdown outline → PowerPoint Turns a plain markdown outline into a `.pptx`. One slide per heading, one bullet per list item. ## Steps 1. **Draft the outline in markdown first and show it to the user.** Do not skip straight to the file — the outline is the part worth reviewing, and it is far cheaper to change than a generated deck. ```markdown # Quarterly review - Revenue up 12% - Two new enterprise accounts # Risks - Hiring behind plan ``` A line starting with `#` (any depth) starts a new slide and becomes its title. A line starting with `-` or `*` becomes a bullet on the current slide. Everything else is ignored, so prose between sections is harmless. 2. Once the user approves the outline, write it to a file and build the deck: ```bash python /workspace/skills/slide-outline/scripts/make_pptx.py outline.md --out deck.pptx ``` Add `--title "Deck title"` to prepend a title slide. 3. Report the output path and the slide count the script printed. Offer to adjust the outline and rebuild — never hand-edit the `.pptx`. ## Notes - `python-pptx` is declared in `requirements`, so CUGA installs it in the sandbox before your code runs. Do not install it on the host. - The deck deliberately uses the default template with no styling. If the user wants brand fonts, colours, or layouts, say that this skill produces a plain structural deck and ask whether they have a template to apply afterwards.
