Presentation skills, with source notes

Read the tradeoff before opening a skill. Sources are linked to a fixed revision so you can inspect the instructions behind each recommendation.

Editable PowerPoint

PPT Master

Turn source documents into PowerPoint objects, or work with an existing PPTX template. The source defines separate routes for generation, native editing and enhancement.

Best for
Editable business decks from documents
Agent setup
Claude Code and Codex; author also lists Trae, Cursor and CodeBuddy IDE
Trae, Cursor and CodeBuddy IDE support
The author lists these IDE agents. The workflow requires local file access and command execution; this is author documentation, not a runtime test by OpenAgentSkill. Author platform notes ↗
Costs to consider
MIT source; agent and optional generation services may charge.
Before you choose
Inspect the selected workflow and check the exported deck in PowerPoint.

Editable PowerPoint

Dashi PPT

Build a themed HTML deck, adjust it in the browser and export to PowerPoint. Useful when the author wants a visual editing step before sharing a PPTX.

Best for
Browser editing with a PowerPoint handoff
Agent setup
Codex, Claude Code, WorkBuddy; Doubao office mode; Cursor with local tools
WorkBuddy support
The author lists WorkBuddy as supported; inspect the full skill package and local requirements. Author platform notes ↗
Doubao / 豆包 support
The author lists Doubao as supported only with office mode. Confirm that your mode can read files and run the required local Node.js and browser export workflow. Author platform notes ↗
Cursor support
The author labels Cursor usable with file read/write and shell access. A chat-only session does not provide these tools. Author platform notes ↗
Costs to consider
AGPL-3.0 source; export engine has separate proprietary terms. Optional image generation can charge.
Before you choose
Compare HTML and exported PPTX layouts; browser output alone does not validate export.

Editable PowerPoint

Image to Editable PPT

Reconstruct an existing visual deck as editable PowerPoint objects. Inputs can include screenshots, PDFs or image-based slides; this is a reconstruction workflow rather than new-deck authoring.

Best for
Reconstructing screenshots or image-based decks

Costs to consider

Check reconstructed text and geometry against the original slides.

Editable PPTX means editable objects

A .pptx extension says how the file is packaged, not how its content is represented. A full-slide image inside PowerPoint remains one image. If your handoff requires changes to text, formulas, charts or shapes, specify those objects explicitly in your brief.

Generation creates a new deck from source material; reconstruction tries to recover objects from an existing visual deck. Choose the route before choosing a style.

Check the export before handing it over

Open the exported file in the presentation software your recipient uses. Edit a heading, move a shape and check whether charts contain editable data. Review font substitutions, overflow, speaker notes and slide dimensions.

Compare a reconstructed slide with its original for text accuracy, object placement and visual fidelity. Keep the source revision and record what you checked; an author preview alone does not establish the quality of your export.

PPT skill questions

Which skill creates native PowerPoint objects?

PPT Master documents native PPTX generation and editing. Dashi PPT documents editable export from browser decks. Read the relevant route and verify the actual object types in your exported file.

How do I make slide screenshots editable?

Use a reconstruction workflow such as Image to Editable PPT. It accepts existing visual slides and rebuilds their content; check text recognition and object placement against the original.

Can I reuse my company’s PowerPoint template?

PPT Master documents a native template-filling route. Supply an approved template and your real content, then check fonts, masters, layouts and brand elements in the resulting PPTX.

Why does my PPTX contain only images?

The selected workflow may assemble complete slide images into a PowerPoint container. That can be suitable for delivery, but choose native generation or reconstruction when individual objects must remain editable.
