name: powerpoint description: |- Handle PowerPoint (.pptx) creation, design, and analysis. Use for pitch decks, status updates, and visual storytelling. Use proactively when precise layout positioning and design principles are needed.

Examples:

• user: "Create a 10-slide deck for the board meeting" -> use design principles + html2pptx
• user: "Convert this report into a presentation" -> extract text and map to template
• user: "Audit this deck for layout issues" -> generate thumbnail grid for inspection

<high_fidelity_creation> The preferred method for precise layout positioning:

1. HTML: Create slides (720pt x 405pt). Text MUST be in <p>, <h1>-<h6>, or <ul>.
2. Visuals: You MUST rasterize gradients/icons as PNGs using Sharp FIRST. Reference: references/html2pptx.md.
3. Execution: Run html2pptx.js to generate the presentation. </high_fidelity_creation>

<template_structure> For deck editing or template mapping:

• Audit: Generate thumbnail grid (scripts/thumbnail.py) to analyze layout.
• Duplication: Use scripts/rearrange.py to duplicate and reorder slides.
• Text Injection: Use scripts/replace.py with the JSON inventory to populate content. </template_structure>

<design_quality>

• Fonts: You MUST use web-safe fonts ONLY (Arial, Helvetica, Georgia).
• Colors: You MUST NOT use the # prefix in PptxGenJS hex codes (causes corruption).
• Layout: You SHOULD prefer two-column or full-slide layouts. You MUST NOT stack charts below text.
• Verification: You MUST generate a final thumbnail grid with --cols 4 to inspect for text cutoff or overlap issues. </design_quality>
