PowerPoint presentations

Follow an explicit user or applicable AGENTS.md requirement for an environment or library. Otherwise call load_workspace_dependencies and use its Python executable and bundled presentation libraries. Do not install npm or pip packages or locate a system interpreter for the default workflow. If the tool is unavailable, use an already configured environment and report a missing dependency only when it prevents the requested operation.

Keep scripts and output files in the task workspace. The runtime and skill directory contain shared read-only resources. Match the requested slide language and the supplied presentation's design when editing it.

Create and edit

Use python-pptx to inspect or modify an existing presentation. Inspect slide layouts, text runs, images, tables, and charts before editing. Change only the requested content, preserve mixed text formatting, and save to a new file unless the user requests an in-place edit. Rebuilding slides can discard unsupported animation, SmartArt, or other extension content.

For a new deck, use python-pptx with editable text, tables, and charts. Use local image assets rather than network-dependent image URLs. Set slide dimensions, text sizes, and chart data explicitly.

A minimal editable deck, run with the selected Python executable:

from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.chart.data import CategoryChartData
from pptx.enum.chart import XL_CHART_TYPE
from pptx.util import Inches, Pt
