Powerpoint / PPTX

**Quick judgment** This skill is a strong choice for any workflow where the primary artifact is a PowerPoint (.pptx) deck and layout fidelity really matters. It is clearly designed by someone who understands how fragile PPTX structures, templates, and placeholders can be, and it encodes many best practices for safe, professional slide work. **Strengths** - Excellent for template-respecting creation and edits (masters, layouts, placeholders, notes, comments). - Inventory-first and placeholder-aware, reducing silent failures like text going into the wrong box or charts breaking. - Explicit focus on both content QA and visual QA, with emphasis on rendering/thumbnail checks. - Handles non-visible content (notes, comments, linked assets) and portability concerns (fonts, aspect ratios, themes). **Key risks / limitations** - Requires following the documented workflow discipline; careless use (e.g., editing without inventorying the deck) can still produce subtle layout bugs. - Usability may be lower for casual or inexperienced users who don’t understand PPTX internals (masters, layouts, placeholder indices). - Complex effects, cross-tool conversion (PowerPoint vs. LibreOffice/online viewers), and font substitution can still cause visual drift that needs manual QA. **Recommended scenarios** - High-stakes client or executive presentations where template fidelity and visual polish are critical. - Systematic updates to existing decks (new content, updated data, or rebranding) without breaking design. - Large-deck QA passes, including checking notes, comments, and chart/table correctness as well as layout. - Extracting and restructuring presentation content while keeping the final output review-safe and portable.
