PPTX Reference Deck Analysis

Inspect a reference deck as design evidence. This skill never copies, clones, or mutates a source deck.

Contract

Implement required extraction on demand with a small task-local python-pptx script. Capture only the information required for the new deck:

• compact prompt context: slide count and size, text summaries, shape counts, styles, brand signals, template use, and layout rhythm;
• full extraction: summary, slides, and read-only layout_tree evidence;
• folder diagnostics: one result per deck plus a manifest;
• style-master analysis: colors, fonts, size distribution, master/layout use, and flow patterns;
• derived template catalog: zero-based source indices, layout roles, usable regions, placeholders, visual structures, and constraints.

Rules

• Keep the source deck read-only and independently author every target-slide coordinate.
• Use the bundled OOXML utilities only for raw themes, relationships, notes, comments, animations, media, masters, or layouts that high-level extraction cannot expose.
