PowerPoint deck design

Before editing, identify the audience, goal, and any brand or style requirements. If those are unclear and would change the design substantially, ask before making broad visual changes.

Inspect the existing deck first. Keep its useful content and structure unless the user asks for more. Use a consistent theme, readable type, strong contrast, clear hierarchy, and layouts that fit each slide's content. Prefer editable PowerPoint elements over flattened screenshots.

Make changes in the user's session, then review exported slide images for clipping, overlap, alignment, and legibility. Check key slides at presentation size and fix visible problems before saving. Follow the deck-building guide for detailed guidance.
