Test it

Using "ppt-editing-skill". A five-slide sales template and new customer-specific proposal copy.

Expected outcome:

An edited PPTX with copied source preserved, refreshed slide text, reordered sections, and a final QA note.

Using "ppt-editing-skill". A quarterly report template with fewer metrics than the original placeholder deck.

Expected outcome:

A cleaned presentation with excess visual groups removed, consistent bullets, and no orphaned slide assets.

Using "ppt-editing-skill". A presentation that needs localized headings, captions, and quoted legal terms.

Expected outcome:

A repacked deck with updated text, preserved smart quotes, and layout checks for text overflow.

v7 • 7/9/2026 Open versioned report

Most static findings are false positives caused by Markdown backticks, XML examples, and code fences. I confirmed limited operational risks where the skill instructs external tools, helper scripts, temp-file writes, and PPTX archive handling on user-provided files.

False positives ignored

Capability review items (9)

These are real local capabilities that may be expected for this skill, so they require review but are not counted as confirmed malicious behavior.

Medium

SKILL.md:14-17

Ruby/shell backtick execution

```bash

The fenced bash block instructs copying a user-provided PPTX and running python -m markitdown on it. This is expected workflow behavior, but it is real external command execution on untrusted input.

Medium

SKILL.md:39-40

Ruby/shell backtick execution

- Duplicate slides you want to reuse (`add_slide.py`)

The workflow tells the agent to duplicate slides with add_slide.py. Running helper scripts that modify PPTX internals is a real command-execution risk if the script or input is untrusted.

Medium

SKILL.md:54-56

Ruby/shell backtick execution

```bash

The fenced bash block copies a user-provided path into the working directory. It is a legitimate operation, but path handling and shell quoting still require care.

Medium

SKILL.md:95

Ruby/shell backtick execution

**Delete**: Remove `<p:sldId>`, then run `clean.py`.

The instruction says to run clean.py after deleting slides. That helper script changes the unpacked PPTX file tree, so execution should be treated as a real operational risk.

Medium

SKILL.md:97-117

Ruby/shell backtick execution

**Add**: Use `add_slide.py`. Never manually copy slide files—the script handles notes references, Co

The instruction requires use of add_slide.py for slide creation. This is legitimate tooling, but it is still script execution against user-controlled presentation content.

Medium

SKILL.md:133-138

Ruby/shell backtick execution

- Run content QA with `markitdown` to catch mismatched counts

The instruction tells the agent to run markitdown for content QA. External conversion tools processing user-supplied presentations can expose parser and file-handling risk.

Medium

SKILL.md:138-145

Ruby/shell backtick execution

- Verify with `markitdown` after text changes

The instruction tells the agent to verify changes with markitdown. This is a reasonable workflow step, but it still invokes an external parser on presentation content.

Medium

SKILL.md:83

Temp directory access

Always write to `/tmp/` first, then copy to the final path. Python's `zipfile` module uses `seek` in

The skill instructs writing intermediate output to /tmp before copying to the final path. This can be safe, but the guidance does not specify unique temp directories or symlink protections.

Medium

SKILL.md:83

Python archive libraries

Always write to `/tmp/` first, then copy to the final path. Python's `zipfile` module uses `seek` in

The skill discusses Python zipfile behavior while processing PPTX archives. Archive handling is legitimate here, but the reviewed file does not document path traversal checks during unpacking.

What You Can Build

Refresh Client Proposal Decks

Replace placeholder sections, reorder slides, and keep the approved template structure intact.

Adapt Internal Report Templates

Convert recurring content into a polished deck while preserving layout, bullets, and section hierarchy.

Localize Presentation Content

Update slide text and captions across an existing presentation without rebuilding the file manually.

Try These Prompts

Update a Template Deck

Use ppt-editing-skill to update this PPTX template with the provided content. Preserve the original file and create edited.pptx.

Map Content to Slides

Analyze the extracted template structure, map each content section to a varied slide layout, then summarize the planned slide order.

Replace Placeholder Content

Replace all placeholder titles, body text, captions, and list items in the selected slides. Preserve bullets, spacing, and XML entities.

Rebuild and QA a Deck

Duplicate needed template slides, remove unused slides, update the XML content, clean orphaned assets, repack the deck, and verify the output.

Best Practices

Complete slide deletion, duplication, and ordering before editing slide content.
Use varied template layouts so the final deck does not become text-heavy.
Run extraction and visual QA after edits to catch overflow and missing content.

Avoid

Do not edit the original user-provided PPTX in place.
Do not clear unused placeholders while leaving their shapes and images behind.
Do not combine multiple list items into one XML paragraph.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this skill create a deck from scratch?

It is optimized for editing existing PowerPoint files and templates, not blank-deck design.

What output should I expect?

The expected deliverable is an edited PPTX file, usually named edited.pptx.

Does it preserve the original presentation?

Yes. The workflow copies the user-provided file before making changes.

Why does it edit XML directly?

Direct XML editing preserves PowerPoint relationships, layout details, and formatting when done carefully.

Does it support parallel work?

Yes. Separate slide XML files can be edited in parallel after structural changes are complete.

What tools does it reference?

It references markitdown, Python zipfile behavior, and helper scripts for unpacking, adding slides, cleaning, and packing.
