PowerPoint Add-in

openrein-contrib includes a PowerPoint Office Add-in that bridges your Python agent to PowerPoint via Office.js. The bridge server starts automatically when you import the package.

Setup

1. Import the package — the bridge server starts on localhost:19876

   import openrein.contrib  # server starts here
   

2. Load the Add-in in PowerPoint

   • Open PowerPoint
   • Insert → Add-ins → My Add-ins → ... → Upload Add-in
   • Select: <site-packages>/openrein_contrib-*.dist-info/../addin/powerpoint/manifest.xml

   Or find the path: python -c "import openrein.contrib.tools.powerpoint as p; print(p._ADDIN_DIR)"

3. Open the OpenRein taskpane in PowerPoint → status shows "openrein connected"

import openrein
import openrein.contrib as contrib

engine = openrein.Engine()
contrib.add_skill(engine, 'powerpoint')   # loads PowerPoint workflow guide

Writing a New Tool

1. Create openrein/contrib/tools/<name>.py

import openrein

class _Tool(openrein.ToolBase):
    def name(self) -> str:          return "my_tool"
    def description(self) -> str:   return "Does something useful."
    def input_schema(self) -> dict:
        return {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "input": {"type": "string", "description": "Input value"},
            },
            "required": ["input"],
        }
    def call(self, input: dict) -> str:
        return f"Result: {input['input']}"


def create_my_tools() -> list[openrein.ToolBase]:
    return [_Tool()]

2. Register in openrein/contrib/tools/__init__.py:

from openrein.contrib.tools.my_module import create_my_tools

3. Register in openrein/contrib/__init__.py _TOOL_FACTORIES:

_TOOL_FACTORIES = {
    "powerpoint": "openrein.contrib.tools.powerpoint.create_powerpoint_tools",
    "my_module":  "openrein.contrib.tools.my_module.create_my_tools",
}
