Pptx
This handles everything PowerPoint related, from reading existing presentations to creating polished decks from scratch. It extracts text with markitdown, generates thumbnails for visual overview, and has detailed workflows for both editing templates and building presentations with pptxgenjs. The standout feature is the opinionated design guidance that pushes you away from boring bullet points toward actual visual design with specific color palettes, typography rules, and layout ideas. It runs content checks for leftover placeholder text and requires visual QA with subagents to catch overlapping elements and spacing issues that you'll miss when staring at code.
