AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides a systematic approach to integrating visual elements like icons, images, SVGs, diagrams, and infographics into PPTX files. It emphasizes maintaining the editability of content by ensuring that essential text and data are recreated as native PowerPoint objects rather than being embedded within images. The process mandates strict adherence to provenance tracking, usage rights verification, and specific layout constraints to ensure visual assets support rather than obscure the slide's message.

What it does

Guides the selection of appropriate visual assets to improve slide comprehension.
Requires verification of asset source, usage rights, and alt text before placement.
Enforces the use of native PowerPoint objects for labels, legends, and process steps.
Provides rules for maintaining aspect ratios and proper z-index layering.
Instructs on the correct handling of SVG files to ensure they remain clean vectors.
Mandates the recording of asset provenance in a source manifest.

When to use it

When you need to add icons, images, or infographics to a presentation.
When you must ensure that visual assets do not cover readable text.
When you need to verify that an asset has appropriate usage rights.
When you are converting external infographics into editable slide content.

Advantages

Ensures all visual content is properly attributed and rights-cleared.
Maintains the editability of slide content by avoiding raster-only visuals.
Promotes consistent layout practices through defined bounding box and z-index rules.
Prevents the use of placeholders by requiring the omission of assets when sources are unavailable.

Usage examples

“Add the company logo to the title slide.”: The agent verifies the logo's source and usage rights, places it in a defined bounding box, and ensures it does not overlap with existing text.
“Include this infographic in the project summary slide.”: The agent records the infographic's provenance and recreates its essential labels and process steps as native PowerPoint objects to keep the slide editable.

Documentation by kimtth

Use visual assets to support a slide's message, never to flatten or replace editable content.

Workflow

Select the asset type only when it improves comprehension: icon, image, SVG, diagram, or infographic.
Confirm the local asset path, source, usage rights, and concise alt text before placement.
Add the asset with a final inch bbox, deliberate z-index, and content or layout_design classification.
Preserve aspect ratio and check that no asset covers readable text or leaves essential information locked in an image.

Rules

Use simple, legible icons alongside text labels.
Place captions beside images rather than over them.
Use true SVG sources only when they are clean vectors; never wrap a raster image in SVG and call it editable.
Recreate essential labels, legends, values, and process steps with native PowerPoint objects.
If rights, provenance, or a suitable asset are unavailable, omit the asset and report the gap. Never add a placeholder as a finished visual.
Record provider or source details in the source manifest. Never request secrets in chat.
