Definition

kimi-slides is a ppt-generation skill built by Moonshot AI as a first-party skill. It defines a YAML-format intermediate DSL (.pptd) that further abstracts OOXML, making presentation generation effortless. The DSL can be used to generate and render PPTs, and existing pptx files can also be converted into this DSL for editing.

The pptd format

The .pptd format is a simplified abstraction layer over OOXML that follows basic YAML syntax. This abstraction preserves the core content of OOXML (theme, page layout, element positions and definitions, etc.) while removing complex nesting logic such as Masters; every page is self-contained — what you see is what you get. Read reference/pptd.md for the complete definition of this DSL.

Companion CLI

The skill also ships with a companion CLI tool (pre-installed in the environment) for two-way conversion between pptd and pptx, pptd validation, pptd/pptx screenshot rendering, and more. Read reference/cli.md for the complete CLI usage instructions.
