Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Only contacts known or declared hosts: schemas.openxmlformats.org.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
Hosts contacted
schemas.openxmlformats.orgnamespace identifierNo obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
The python-pptx library allows AI agents to programmatically create, read, and modify PowerPoint (.pptx) presentations. It provides direct access to slide elements like text boxes, images, charts, and tables without requiring manual file editing.
When to use it
- Automate the generation of standardized reports or meeting agendas from data sources.
- Update existing presentation templates by injecting dynamic content based on user input.
- Generate visual slides containing embedded images or diagrams for educational materials.
- Batch process multiple presentations to apply consistent branding or formatting changes.
Key capabilities
- Create new presentations and add individual slides with various layouts.
- Insert, move, resize, and delete text boxes, shapes, and pictures.
- Modify slide properties including background colors, themes, and master slides.
- Add tables and charts with customizable data series.
- Save files in
.pptxformat or extract content from existing files.
Example prompts
- "Create a 5-slide presentation summarizing the quarterly sales data provided in this CSV file."
- "Add a new slide to this existing deck titled 'Next Steps' with three bullet points based on our discussion."
- "Insert a table into the second slide comparing the features of Product A and Product B using the data I just uploaded."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure you have Python installed along with the python-pptx package before executing scripts that manipulate presentation files. While the library handles text and basic shapes well, complex animations or advanced VBA macros embedded in original files may not be preserved during modification.
