Resilient PowerPoint Generation Workflow

When to Use This Skill

Use this workflow when:

• You need to create PowerPoint presentations programmatically
• shell_agent may fail or produce opaque error messages
• You need robust error handling and debugging capabilities
• Output files may be created in unexpected nested directories

Overview

This workflow provides two paths:

1. Primary: Use shell_agent with clear specifications (preferred for simple presentations)
2. Fallback: Direct Python execution with python-pptx library (for complex or failed shell_agent attempts)

Both paths include automatic error capture and file location verification.
