AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
This skill provides a structured approach to creating and modifying PowerPoint slide decks using PptxGenJS. It emphasizes maintaining editable output by using native PowerPoint elements and provides a suite of utility scripts to render, validate, and audit slide decks for layout issues, font consistency, and content overflow.
What it does
- Generates new PowerPoint presentations using JavaScript-based authoring.
- Recreates existing slide decks from reference materials like PDFs or screenshots.
- Renders slide decks to PNG images for visual inspection.
- Validates slide content for layout overflows and out-of-bounds elements.
- Detects font substitution issues to ensure consistent typography.
- Creates contact-sheet style montages for quick deck reviews.
When to use it
- When you need to build a new presentation deck programmatically.
- When you must recreate or update an existing slide deck while keeping it editable.
- When you need to verify that slide content fits correctly within the canvas.
- When you need to audit a deck for missing or substituted fonts.
Advantages
- Produces editable PowerPoint files rather than static images.
- Includes automated tools to detect layout and font issues before final delivery.
- Supports the use of native PowerPoint charts for future editability.
- Provides a clear workflow for rendering and validating complex slide layouts.
Usage examples
- “Create a 16:9 presentation deck about project milestones using PptxGenJS.”
- The agent generates a .js file to build the deck and a corresponding .pptx file, ensuring all text and charts remain editable.
- “Check this presentation for layout overflows and font issues.”
- The agent runs the validation scripts to identify any content extending beyond the slide boundaries and reports any font substitution errors.

Overview
Use PptxGenJS for slide authoring. Do not use python-pptx for deck generation unless the task is inspection-only; keep editable output in JavaScript and deliver both the .pptx and the source .js.
Keep work in a task-local directory. Only copy final artifacts to the requested destination after rendering and validation pass.
Bundled Resources
scripts/render_slides.py: Rasterize a.pptxor.pdfto per-slide PNGs.scripts/slides_test.py: Detect content that overflows the slide canvas.scripts/create_montage.py: Build a contact-sheet style montage of rendered slides.scripts/detect_font.py: Report missing or substituted fonts as LibreOffice resolves them.
Workflow
Inspect the request and determine whether you are creating a new deck, recreating an existing deck, or editing one.
Set the slide size up front. Default to 16:9 (
LAYOUT_WIDE) unless the source material clearly uses another aspect ratio.Build the deck in JavaScript with PptxGenJS, an explicit theme font, stable spacing, and editable PowerPoint-native elements when practical.
Run the bundled scripts from this skill directory or copy the needed ones into the task workspace. Render the result with
render_slides.py, review the PNGs, and fix layout issues before delivery.Run
slides_test.pyfor overflow checks when slide edges are tight or the deck is dense.Deliver the
.pptx, the authoring.js, and any generated assets that are required to rebuild the deck.
Authoring Rules
Set theme fonts explicitly. Do not rely on PowerPoint defaults if typography matters.
Size text boxes deliberately and verify by rendering; do not rely on PptxGenJS
fitorautoFitfor final layout.Use bullet options, not literal
•characters.Use explicit crop/contain calculations when placing images so aspect ratio and framing are intentional.
Prefer native PowerPoint charts for simple bar/line/pie/histogram style visuals so reviewers can edit them later.
For charts or diagrams that PptxGenJS cannot express well, render SVG externally and place the SVG in the slide.
Fix all unintentional overlap and out-of-bounds issues before delivering. If an overlap is intentional, leave a short code comment near the relevant element.
Recreate Or Edit Existing Slides
Render the source deck or reference PDF first so you can compare slide geometry visually.
Match the original aspect ratio before rebuilding layout.
Preserve editability where possible: text should stay text, and simple charts should stay native charts.
Validation Commands
Examples below assume you copied the needed scripts into the working directory. If not, invoke the same script paths relative to this skill folder.
# Render slides to PNGs for review
python3 scripts/render_slides.py deck.pptx --output_dir rendered
# Build a montage for quick scanning
python3 scripts/create_montage.py --input_dir rendered --output_file montage.png
# Check for overflow beyond the original slide canvas
python3 scripts/slides_test.py deck.pptx
# Detect missing or substituted fonts
python3 scripts/detect_font.py deck.pptx --jsonFiles
