Does this skill support speaker notes and comments?

Absolutely. By accessing the raw XML files like notesSlide.xml and modernComment.xml, Claude can read, extract, or modify speaker notes and reviewer comments.

How does this skill create presentations from scratch?

It utilizes a specialized html2pptx workflow where Claude generates HTML representations of slides and then uses a JavaScript library to convert them into PowerPoint files with accurate positioning.

How can I ensure the generated slides look professional?

The skill includes an integrated design engine that provides 18+ curated color palettes, typography guidelines, and a visual validation step that generates thumbnails to check for text overlap or alignment issues.

Can I edit existing PowerPoint files without destroying the formatting?

Yes, the skill employs an OOXML-based workflow that unpacks the .pptx archive, allows for targeted XML edits to specific slides or templates, and then repacks the file.
