Pptx

This does exactly what you'd expect: pulls all the text out of PowerPoint files so Claude can work with presentation content. It grabs text from each slide and includes speaker notes if they're there, which is actually handy since that's where a lot of context lives. Built on python-pptx, so it's solid. Triggers automatically when you reference a .pptx file or mention PowerPoint in your prompt. Not much complexity here, just a straightforward extraction tool. If you need to analyze, summarize, or repurpose slide decks without manually copying text, this gets the job done.
