## Capabilities

- Create native editable PPTX decks from briefs, outlines, and structured content using bundled DeckKits.
- Inspect slide objects and apply targeted edits with dry runs, edit contracts, and retained evidence.
- Translate or refurbish existing presentations through dedicated preparation, comparison, and delivery workflows.
- Populate native charts and tables from structured data and apply brand or theme changes.
- Export PDF or PNG previews and combine structural checks with visual review.
- Inspect runtime capabilities, diagnose license authorization, and preserve unsupported animation or object features.

## Use Cases

- Prepare Business Reviews: Turn approved metrics and an outline into an editable review deck with native charts and validation reports.
- Refresh Client Presentations: Apply authorized brand changes and targeted content updates while comparing the candidate against the original presentation.
- Localize Training Slides: Translate an existing training deck, review text fit, and retain comparison evidence before publishing a new file.

## Prompt Templates

### Create a First Deck

```
Create a five-slide PowerPoint about [topic] for [audience]. Use only these facts: [facts]. Save a new editable PPTX and review its previews.
```

### Update Selected Slides

```
Update [input.pptx] with these changes: [changes]. Inspect targets, preserve other content, run dry-run checks, and save a separate reviewed output.
```

### Build a Data Review

```
Build [slide count] slides from [data file] using [DeckKit]. Include native charts and tables, verify values, and retain validation evidence.
```

### Translate With Delivery Checks

```
Translate [input.pptx] into [language]. Preserve unsupported objects, compare source and candidate, review text fit, and disclose unavailable PowerPoint-native checks.
```

## Limitations

- Requires a separately available xdoc runtime; licensing and disclosed capabilities determine which operations can run.
- PowerPoint-native opening, screenshot, and playback checks require macOS, Microsoft PowerPoint, and additional local permissions or tools.
- HTML and PDF inputs become source material, not automatic pixel-identical PowerPoint conversions.
- Complex animations and unsupported objects may require preservation; visual review and asset-license verification remain necessary.

## Best Practices

- Provide approved facts, source files, target language, and output requirements before generation.
- Keep original decks unchanged and use a new output path with a dedicated evidence directory.
- Review rendered slides and verify chart values, asset permissions, and any skipped native checks.

## Anti Patterns

- Treating a successful command exit as proof of visual quality or PowerPoint playback compatibility.
- Loading untrusted JavaScript content modules instead of data-only JSON.
- Overwriting source decks or deleting retained evidence before the candidate passes review.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-11-06T15:33:19.735\+00:00
- Summary: Reviewed all 1,000 supplied findings; most are syntax, multilingual text, local workflow operations, or explicit safety prohibitions. Confirmed risks concern executable JavaScript content loading and predictable shared temporary log redirection; no evidence found of malicious exfiltration or audit-directed prompt injection. The static cap leaves 4,842 additional matches unadjudicated, so this review does not establish publication readiness. Static review was capped at 1000/5842 representative findings; omitted static matches are unconfirmed, so automatic publishing stays disabled until manual review.
