Python PPTX Generator

Name: python-pptx-generator
Author: yashas-30

Overview

Use this skill when the user wants a ready-to-run Python script that creates a PowerPoint presentation with python-pptx. It focuses on turning a topic brief into a complete slide deck script with real slide content, sensible structure, and a working save step.

When to Use This Skill

Use when the user wants a Python script that generates a .pptx file automatically
Use when the user needs slide content drafted and encoded directly into python-pptx
Use when the user wants a quick presentation generator for demos, classes, or internal briefings

How It Works

Step 1: Collect the Deck Brief

Ask for the topic, audience, tone, and target number of slides if the request does not already include them. If constraints are missing, pick conservative defaults and state them in the generated script comments.

Step 2: Plan the Narrative Arc

Outline the deck before writing code:

Title slide
Agenda or context
Core teaching or business points
Summary or next steps

Keep the slide count realistic for the requested audience and avoid filler slides.

Step 3: Generate the Python Script

Write a complete script that:

imports Presentation from python-pptx
creates the deck
selects appropriate built-in layouts
writes real titles and bullet points
saves the file with a clear filename
prints a success message after saving

Step 4: Keep the Output Runnable

The final answer should be a Python code block that can run after installing python-pptx. Avoid pseudocode, placeholders, or missing imports.

Examples

Example 1: Educational Deck

User: Create a 5-slide presentation on the basics of machine learning for a high school class.
Output: A complete Python script that creates a title slide, overview, core concepts, examples, and recap.

Example 2: Business Briefing

User: Generate a 7-slide deck for sales leadership on Q2 pipeline risks and mitigation options.
Output: A python-pptx script with executive-friendly slide titles, concise bullets, and a final recommendations slide.

Best Practices

✅ Use standard python-pptx layouts unless the user asks for custom positioning
✅ Write audience-appropriate bullet points instead of placeholders
✅ Save the output file explicitly in the script, for example output.pptx
✅ Keep slide titles short and the bullet hierarchy readable
❌ Do not return partial snippets that require the user to assemble the rest
❌ Do not invent unsupported styling APIs without checking python-pptx capabilities

Security & Safety Notes

Install python-pptx only in an environment you control, for example a local virtual environment
If the user will run the script on a shared machine, choose a safe output path and avoid overwriting existing presentations without confirmation
If the request includes proprietary or sensitive presentation content, keep it out of public examples and sample filenames

Common Pitfalls

Problem: The generated script uses placeholder text instead of real content
Solution: Draft the narrative first, then turn each slide into specific titles and bullets
Problem: The deck uses too many slides for the requested audience
Solution: Compress the outline to the most important 4 to 8 slides unless the user explicitly wants a longer deck
Problem: The script forgets to save or print a completion message
Solution: Always end with prs.save(...) and a short success print

@docx-official - Use when the requested output should be a document instead of a slide deck

Limitations

Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
