Documentation

Rylai PPT

Use the bundled Python workflow to create a clean, editable .pptx. The renderer is an original Rylai implementation built on python-pptx. It uses local PowerPoint elements and does not load HTML templates, remote images, or hosted assets.

Requirements

Python 3
python-pptx
Optional LibreOffice for rendering to PDF

Workflow

Read the user's source material and identify the audience, purpose, slide count, language, and required facts.
Create a JSON deck specification by adapting examples/deck.json.
Keep one message per slide. Split dense content instead of shrinking text.
Validate the specification:

python <skill-dir>/scripts/build_deck.py build <deck.json> <output.pptx>

Build the presentation:

python <skill-dir>/scripts/build_deck.py inspect <output.pptx>

Render the result when LibreOffice is available:

python <skill-dir>/scripts/build_deck.py render <output.pptx> <render-dir>

Check clipping, contrast, reading order, repeated wording, and slide count before delivery.

Slide Types

cover: title, subtitle, eyebrow, footer
section: number, title, summary
bullets: title, kicker, and two to six structured items
metrics: title and two to four value cards
comparison: two labeled lists with two to five items each
timeline: two to five ordered steps
quote: quotation and attribution
closing: final title, subtitle, and contact line

Read references/deck-spec.md when field-level constraints are needed. Unknown slide fields fail validation so the deck stays portable and deterministic.

Design Rules

Use the theme fields in the JSON spec rather than editing renderer constants for each deck.
Use a restrained multi-color palette with one primary accent and one secondary accent.
Keep titles short, body copy specific, and metrics attributable to the user's material.
Use only the supported local vector icons: circle, square, diamond, check, and arrow.
Do not add remote URLs as image sources. This workflow intentionally has no image field.
Preserve user-provided brand wording. Do not invent customer names, testimonials, statistics, or claims.

Runtime Notes

Codex, Hermes, and Claude execute the same bundled Python scripts.
Resolve all bundled paths from this skill directory.
Write generated decks to the user's requested workspace, not inside the installed skill.
Report the final path and the number and types of slides created.
