Agent skill for generating professional PowerPoint (.pptx) presentations, powered by an agent-ready CLI and Python library

agent-slides

Agent skill for generating professional PowerPoint decks. 7 composable skills, a purpose-built CLI, and a Python API.

Quick start: Visit agent-slides.com for docs, examples, and getting started guides.

Why agent-slides?

Every AI agent can write text, but generating a polished, brand-compliant PowerPoint deck requires workflow knowledge that doesn't fit in a system prompt: when to dry-run, how to chain extraction → build → QA stages, how to recover from validation errors.

agent-slides encodes that knowledge in 7 composable skills, backed by a CLI that speaks JSON and a Python API that wraps python-pptx into a deterministic, agent-safe layer.

What's Included

7 Skills

Skill	Command	What it does
slides-extract	/slides-extract	Extract template contracts from a .pptx file
slides-build	/slides-build	Build a complete deck from a brief
slides-edit	/slides-edit	Text edits, layout transforms, ops patches
slides-audit	/slides-audit	Technical lint: fonts, overlap, contrast
slides-critique	/slides-critique	Storytelling: action titles, MECE, hierarchy
slides-polish	/slides-polish	Final pass: notes, metadata, sources
slides-full	/slides-full	End-to-end: extract → build → audit → critique → polish

The CLI

Skills call uvx --from git+https://github.com/mpuig/agent-slides slides ... under the hood. The CLI provides:

• Declarative JSON operations with dry-run and transactional rollback
• Template extraction (layouts, archetypes, color zones, icons)
• Validation, linting, and QA with design profiles
• Agent-optimized output (compact JSON, pagination, field masking)
• Runtime schema discovery (uvx --from git+https://github.com/mpuig/agent-slides slides docs json)

Installation

npx skills add https://github.com/mpuig/agent-slides

This installs the skills for Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or Codex CLI — your choice. Skills call uvx --from git+https://github.com/mpuig/agent-slides slides ... under the hood, so make sure uv is available in your environment.

Usage

Once installed, use skills in your agent harness:

/slides-extract template.pptx    # Extract template contracts
/slides-build                     # Build deck from a brief
/slides-audit                     # Check for technical issues
/slides-full                      # Run the full pipeline

Or use the CLI directly:

# Render a deck from a slides document
uvx --from git+https://github.com/mpuig/agent-slides slides render --slides-json @slides.json --profile design-profile.json --output out.pptx

# Extract template contracts
uvx --from git+https://github.com/mpuig/agent-slides slides extract template.pptx --output-dir extracted

# Validate and lint
uvx --from git+https://github.com/mpuig/agent-slides slides validate out.pptx
uvx --from git+https://github.com/mpuig/agent-slides slides lint out.pptx --profile design-profile.json --out lint.json

# Inspect and search
uvx --from git+https://github.com/mpuig/agent-slides slides inspect out.pptx --summary
uvx --from git+https://github.com/mpuig/agent-slides slides find out.pptx --query "pricing" --out results.json

# Schema discovery
uvx --from git+https://github.com/mpuig/agent-slides slides docs json
uvx --from git+https://github.com/mpuig/agent-slides slides docs schema:slides-document

Typical Workflow

/slides-extract  →  /slides-build  →  /slides-audit  →  /slides-critique  →  /slides-polish
                                        ↕               ↕
                                    /slides-edit  ←  (targeted fixes)

Or use /slides-full to run the entire pipeline in one command.
