Use PPTX by Anthropic to create, read, and edit presentation files with an agent. Work from a brief, an existing deck, or a template, organize slide content and supporting visuals, then inspect thumbnails and rendered slides before handing over an editable presentation.
Describe the audience, evidence, and slides needed for the presentation. Prepare a task that connects narrative with the supplied template or assets and reviews rendered pages, so an editable deck is assessed by its actual content and layout.
Provide the deck, approved results, and constraints on charts, order, and branding.

Reference: PPTX https://github.com/anthropics/skills/blob/main/skills/pptx/SKILL.md Read the original documentation and check the current environment and dependencies. Propose any new installation or tool connection before proceeding. My task: Update this quarterly presentation with the supplied results. Reuse its template and charts where appropriate, preserve the slide order, and inspect every changed slide for overflow and missing content. Expected deliverable: An updated deck with changed slides checked for overflow, missing content, and chart consistency.
PPTX is Anthropic’s document Skill for creating and modifying presentation files and templates. It distinguishes a new deck from edits to an existing package, and includes tools for extracting text, inspecting slide thumbnails, managing slide content, and validating the saved file. This helps an agent work with the structure of a presentation while checking how its individual slides actually render. Provide the audience, message, source material, and any template that must be preserved. Output review should include both the narrative across slides and issues such as overflow, alignment, image placement, and missing content. The Skill is source-available under Anthropic’s proprietary document-Skill license.
A new briefing, a data update, and a template adaptation need different presentation reviews. Compare narrative structure, existing slide order, and content fit so the PPTX file remains editable and its visual layout supports the intended message.
A briefing deck should organize approved research around the audience and the conclusions they need to understand. Connect evidence, charts, and supplied assets to each main point, building a coherent slide narrative. The finished presentation should make the reasoning traceable instead of distributing facts across unrelated pages.
Updating a presentation starts with the existing deck, selected slides, and approved new data. Revise those facts while preserving the intended sequence, template choices, and relevant speaker notes. Inspect the changed slides so the updated version remains consistent with the presentation that surrounds them.
A slide template provides layouts rather than a guarantee that replacement content will fit. Apply the supplied brand and media constraints, then inspect dense slides, text overflow, and image placement using the actual material. Correct those problems before handing over a deck that depends on its real content.
An existing deck may contain conclusions whose sources are no longer obvious after several revisions. Compare slide claims, chart values, and notes with the approved research, identifying missing support or mismatched versions. Keep the audit separate from a visual redesign, and limit edits to the evidence and content changes that the reviewer accepts.
Presentation work connects the audience and source material with an agreed slide structure. Choose the generation or editing path, then inspect both the overview and rendered slides so the editable deck preserves its narrative and fits the actual content.
Specify the audience, decision, source material, and target length. Provide the existing deck or template if it must be reused.
Review the proposed slide structure with the agent. Follow the appropriate new-deck or existing-file workflow for the requested edits.
Check the thumbnail overview and individual rendered slides. Fix overflow and missing elements, then validate the saved presentation package.
