Codex PPT Skills: Create, Edit and Check Slides

A practical Codex presentation workflow

1. Prepare the brief: audience, decision, slide count, source documents, brand assets and required file format. Use verified figures and images you can share.

2. Ask Codex to inspect the selected skill’s instructions and local requirements. Agree on any image or OCR service needed for that workflow.

3. Approve an outline and one representative slide. Check content density, visual style and required editability before producing the rest.

4. Generate and export the deck. Open the exported file, check clipping, facts, fonts and speaker notes, and record the source revision and unresolved issues.

Diagnose the first blocked step

If Codex cannot find the skill, check the installed directory and the source’s supported installation route. If the skill loads but cannot export, inspect local dependencies and the actual error before reinstalling the skill.

If image generation or OCR needs an external service, confirm the provider, credentials and budget in your local environment. Never paste API keys into a public prompt or example. Start with one slide; a successful script exit still needs a visual check of the exported file.

Use a task brief, not an assumed slash command

Codex can use installed skills through its skill discovery and natural-language requests. A Claude Code plugin command is not automatically a Codex command. Follow the installation guide for your actual agent, then name the selected skill and required output.

For example: “Use PPT Master to turn these verified research notes into an eight-slide editable PPTX for our product team. Keep charts and text editable. Propose an outline and one sample slide first, then check the exported file in PowerPoint.”
