Editable PowerPoint Deck Generator (python-pptx)
Turns an outline, spec, or data into a native .pptx via python-pptx with real placeholders, charts, and tables your client can edit.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Creating a PowerPoint deck can be time-consuming. You'd need to think about the structure — what should go on each slide? Typical investor decks have a title slide, problem slide, solution slide, team, financials, that kind of thing. You'll want good design so it looks professional. Charts and tables help communicate data. You could use a template to speed things up, or design it from scratch if you have design skills. Consistency in fonts and colors matters. You might want to get feedback from someone on the pitch and messaging before finalizing. Tools like PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides all work. The file format and compatibility depend on what your audience prefers. Making it look good is important for investor meetings.

About this skill
Your generated deck opens in PowerPoint and the problems show up fast. Titles sit in loose text boxes, so they never appear in outline view. Bullets are missing. Text runs off the slide. The charts are pasted images that nobody can update. This skill builds decks the way a presentation engineer would: it plans the slides, places content in real layout placeholders, and writes a python-pptx script that produces a file your client can keep editing.
What it does
- Inspects your company template first, then picks layouts by name, so slides inherit your fonts, colors, and positions
- Builds native, data-backed charts and styled tables that support Edit Data in PowerPoint (no matplotlib screenshots)
- Sizes text to fit each box, splits overloaded slides, and moves the overflow into speaker notes
- Fixes common python-pptx traps: missing bullets, 4:3 placeholders on 16:9 slides, and edits that wipe out formatting
- Flags data problems before charting, such as shares that don't sum to 100, mixed units, or claims the numbers contradict
- Ends the script with a lint pass that reports any shape off the slide and any text over its fit budget
What you get
A slide plan table, a complete runnable build script with style constants and reusable helpers, and a list of placeholders to replace. It also states plainly what python-pptx cannot do, such as animations, transitions, SmartArt, and font embedding.
Best for
Consultants, analysts, founders, and developers who generate recurring or data-heavy decks that a client or teammate will edit afterward, especially decks that must follow a corporate template.

description: Builds a native, fully editable .pptx from an outline, spec, notes, or data. It plans the deck, then writes a complete python-pptx script that uses layout placeholders, native charts and tables, and text-fit budgets, so nothing is flattened into images. Use when the user says "make me a PowerPoint from this outline", "generate a pptx with python-pptx", "the client needs to edit the deck", "build slides on our company template", "my python-pptx text keeps overflowing the box", "my bullets don't show up in python-pptx", "turn this data into real PowerPoint charts, not images".
