pptx-author

Produce a .pptx file on disk using python-pptx. Use when you need to deliver a deck as a file artifact, not drive a live PowerPoint session.

Adapted from Anthropic's pptx-author and pitch-deck skills in anthropics/financial-services. The MCP / Office-JS branches of the originals are dropped — this assumes headless Python.

For the broader, already-shipped PowerPoint authoring skill (slides, speaker notes, embeds, media), see the built-in powerpoint skill. This skill is a lighter-weight pattern tuned for model-backed decks (pitch decks, IC memos, earnings notes) where every number must trace to a source workbook.

Output contract

• Write to ./out/<name>.pptx. Create ./out/ if it does not exist.
• Return the relative path in your final message.
