What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Create, edit, and debug PowerPoint decks with the Live Office PPT workflow: write a JSON slide spec, optionally generate bitmap assets first, then run a PowerShell COM renderer that opens desktop PowerPoint and draws native editable shapes, text, connectors, and pictures live. Use when the user asks for PPT/PPTX creation with visible Office drawing, PowerPoint COM automation, live deck review, native PowerPoint objects, or an interactive alternative to SVG-first PPT generation.

Office Live PPT

Use this skill to produce PowerPoint decks through the local live-office-ppt renderer. The renderer turns JSON into native PowerPoint objects through Office COM automation.

Workflow

Locate the live-office-ppt project. If it is not in the active workspace, ask the user for its path.
Create the deck JSON spec in the user's project directory, not inside the reusable renderer repository unless the user is editing the renderer itself.
If bitmap visuals are needed, generate them first, save the selected files under the deck project's assets/images/, and add them to top-level assets.

Validate before opening PowerPoint:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File <live-office-ppt>\render-live-ppt.ps1 `
  -Spec <deck-spec.json> `
  -ValidateOnly

Render with PowerPoint visible:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File <live-office-ppt>\render-live-ppt.ps1 `
  -Spec <deck-spec.json> `
  -StepDelayMs 80 `
  -Overwrite

Use -CloseAfterSave for smoke tests.

Inspect the live PowerPoint result, revise JSON, and rerun.

Image Assets

The renderer does not call image APIs. The agent should generate images before rendering, then reference local files from the deck JSON.

{
  "id": "hero",
  "type": "image",
  "source": "agent-image-generation",
  "path": "assets/images/hero.png",
  "prompt": "Clean professional slide illustration, no text, no logo."
}

Use editable PowerPoint text for labels and slide copy. Do not ask image models to render dense slide text that should remain editable.

Authoring Rules

Prefer native PowerPoint text, shapes, and connectors over rasterized slide screenshots.
Keep coordinates deterministic. The default 16:9 canvas is 960 x 540.
Draw elements in z-order: backgrounds first, foreground content last.
Use fit: "cover" for full-bleed visuals and fit: "contain" for diagrams or screenshots that must not crop.
Keep project-specific deck specs and private assets outside reusable examples.
Run validation and a local render smoke test before handing off a deck.
