description	AI-driven presentation workflow for generating editable PPTX decks, creating reusable Brand/Layout/Deck workspaces, filling native PPTX templates, and enhancing finished PPTX files. Use when the user asks to create, regenerate, template, fill, or enhance a presentation, or mentions ppt-master.

PPT Master Skill

PPT Master is a routed presentation workflow. This entry owns global execution discipline and route selection only; each selected route owns its procedure.

Mandatory Load Order

1. Read this file.
2. Read workflows/routing.md.
3. Select exactly one top-level route from the routing authority.
4. Read only that route's authority and its explicitly triggered supporting documents.

Selected route	Runtime authority
Generate PPTX	workflows/generate-pptx.md
Create Template	workflows/create-template.md
Fill Native PPTX	workflows/template-fill-pptx.md
Enhance Native PPTX	workflows/native-enhance-pptx.md

Hard rule — selected authority only: Do not load another top-level route's procedure after routing. Profiles, stages, governance files, and child workflows refine the selected route; they never compete with it.

Global Execution Discipline

1. Serial execution — Follow the selected authority's steps in order. A completed non-blocking step may continue directly to the next eligible step.
2. Blocking means stop — At every ⛔ BLOCKING gate, wait for explicit user confirmation. Do not decide on the user's behalf.
3. No cross-phase bundling — Do not combine work across an unclosed gate. Once the route's final user gate closes, later non-blocking steps may continue automatically.
4. Gate before entry — Verify every listed prerequisite before entering a step.
5. No speculative execution — Do not prepare later-phase artifacts before their owning step.
6. Deterministic routing — Do not add a route-choice question when routing.md resolves the request. If a route prerequisite is missing, state it and stop that route.
7. Owning-source recovery — On failure, repair or regenerate the owning source artifact and resume from the route's declared pointer. Do not silently downgrade a required artifact.

Global Communication Rules

• Match the user's language and source language unless the user explicitly overrides it.
• Localize user-facing option labels and explanations. Keep exact enum IDs or field names when needed for precision.
• Keep design_spec.md section headings and field names in the template's original English; content values may use the user's language.
• Before switching roles, read the corresponding role reference and output:

## [Role Switch: <Role Name>]
📖 Reading role definition: references/<filename>.md
📋 Current task: <brief description>

Repository Compatibility

• This package is a workflow/skill, not a generic application scaffold. Do not create .worktrees/, tests/, branch workflows, or generic engineering structure by default.
• Keep required workflow, reference, script, and template documentation inside this Skill directory.
• Repository-level documents may point into the package; package runtime files must not depend on repository-level instructions.
• On Windows, if a documented python3 ... command is unavailable, rerun the same command with python.
