Use this skill when running headless (managed-agent / CMA mode) and you need to deliver a PowerPoint deck as a file artifact rather than editing a live document via mcp__office__powerpoint_*.
Output contract
- Write to
./out/<name>.pptx. Create./out/if it does not exist. - Return the relative path in your final message so the orchestration layer can collect it.
How to build the deck
Write a short Python script and run it with Bash. Use python-pptx:
from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches, Pt
prs = Presentation("./templates/firm-template.pptx") # if a template is provided
# or: prs = Presentation()
