Source To Editable PPTX

Turn an authorized source document into an editable presentation while keeping every content slide traceable to source line numbers.

Use This Skill When

• - A user wants a long document, report, brief, or meeting record converted to PPTX.
• The result must remain editable instead of becoming slide images.
• Reviewers need to know which source lines support each slide.
• A speaker-notes draft and a factual review checklist are required.

Do not use it to invent missing financial, legal, medical, performance, or customer claims. Ask for the source material or clearly mark missing evidence.

Preconditions

1. 1. Confirm that the input is user-owned or user-authorized.
2. Remove material that should not be placed in a presentation.
3. Install the local dependency with python -m pip install -r requirements.txt.
4. Keep confidential material local unless the user separately authorizes an external upload.

Inputs

• - One UTF-8 Markdown or text file.
• Optional deck title and subtitle.
• Theme: business, report, or education.
• Optional --keep-sensitive only when the user explicitly wants emails, phone numbers, or key-like strings preserved.

Outputs

• - A real .pptx with editable titles, bullets, shapes, and footer labels.
• INLINECODE6 with slide numbers and source line ranges.
• INLINECODE7 with a short narration draft and review prompts.

Three-Step Workflow

1. 1. Prepare: structure the source with one # deck title and ## section headings; retain claims and numbers exactly as provided.
2. Generate: run the script, which redacts common sensitive patterns by default, splits dense sections, and writes the PPTX plus sidecars.
3. Verify: reopen the PPTX, compare the source map with the original lines, and manually review names, dates, amounts, conclusions, and permissions.

Run

CODEBLOCK0

For a large source, lower --max-bullets or --max-chars to create more slides instead of shrinking text.

Acceptance

• - The PPTX can be reopened by python-pptx without repair errors.
• Every source-derived content slide has a non-empty source line range.
• Slide text remains editable and is not flattened into images.
• No slide exceeds the configured bullet and character limits.
• Emails, phone numbers, tokens, and private-key markers are absent unless --keep-sensitive was explicitly used.
• The final review slide reminds the presenter to check facts, permissions, and sensitive content.

Error Recovery

• - ModuleNotFoundError: pptx: install requirements.txt with the same Python executable used to run the script.
• Garbled Chinese: save the source as UTF-8 and use a Chinese-capable font such as Microsoft YaHei.
• A section is too dense: reduce --max-bullets or --max-chars, then rerun.
• A slide has no source lines: check that its section contains text under a Markdown heading.
• PowerPoint reports repair: delete the output, upgrade python-pptx, regenerate, and run the package validator before delivery.

Privacy And Permission Boundaries

• - Processing is local; the script makes no network requests.
• Redaction is best-effort, not a substitute for a human privacy review.
• Do not present model-generated summaries as audited facts.
• Do not upload private source documents, generated decks, or speaker notes without explicit authorization.
