PowerPoint MCP

Use this skill only for tasks performed through the configured PowerPoint MCP server. For general presentation design, use the optional powerpoint-deck-design skill. Tool schemas advertised by the live server define the available actions and arguments; do not rely on a copied command catalog.

Safe editing loop

1. Check the live tool descriptions. Use a {domain}_read tool when it provides the inspection action you need.
2. Create or open a presentation once. Pass the returned presentation_session_id to later calls; do not open a file a second time after create.
3. Indices for slides, shapes, rows, and columns start at 1.
4. Export and inspect images after visual changes. Before delivery, run the accessibility audit and close with save: true when the user asked to keep the changes.
5. Close returns before PowerPoint finishes its background cleanup; do not wait for its process to exit.
