Ppt Template Creator

This is a meta-skill that turns your PowerPoint template into a reusable skill package. You give it a .pptx file, it analyzes the layouts and placeholder positions, then generates a complete skill with the template bundled in assets/ and detailed SKILL.md instructions. The key is it extracts exact coordinates so generated presentations know where content can safely go without overlapping headers or footers. It's built on top of the skill-creator skill and includes Python snippets for the python-pptx library. One thing to note: this creates skills, not presentations. If you just want to make a deck, use the pptx skill instead. This is for when you have a branded template you'll reuse constantly and want it packaged properly.

PPT Template Creator

This skill creates SKILLS, not presentations. Use this when a user wants to turn their PowerPoint template into a reusable skill that can generate presentations later. If the user just wants to create a presentation, use the pptx skill instead.

The generated skill includes:

assets/template.pptx - the template file
SKILL.md - complete instructions (no reference to this meta skill needed)

For general skill-building best practices, refer to the skill-creator skill. This skill focuses on PPT-specific patterns.

Workflow

User provides template (.pptx or .potx)
Analyze template - extract layouts, placeholders, dimensions
Initialize skill - use the skill-creator skill to set up the skill structure
Add template - copy .pptx to assets/template.pptx
Write SKILL.md - follow template below with PPT-specific details
Create example - generate sample presentation to validate
Package - use the skill-creator skill to package into a .skill file
