Seven-skill presentation system: ingest talks into a rhetoric vault, run interactive clarification, generate a speaker profile, create presentations that match your documented patterns, produce the deck illustrations + thumbnail visual layer, publish talk pages to a Jekyll shownotes site, and verify a recorded screencast against its storyboard. Includes a 113-entry Presentation Patterns taxonomy (83 observable: 64 patterns + 19 antipatterns; 30 unobservable: 21 patterns + 9 antipatterns) for scoring, brainstorming, and go-live preparation.

Low-risk findings worth noting
-- Emits key=value lines on stdout (values may contain "=" and ";"; keys never do):
-- state=not_running PowerPoint is not open
-- state=macro_unreachable + detail= no DeckOps.pptm open, macros off, or
-- the module was never imported
-- state=ok + stamp= + container=
-- Exits 0 in every one of those cases — an unreachable macro is a finding to
-- report, not a failure of the probe. Nonzero only when osascript itself fails.
on run argv if not (application "Microsoft PowerPoint" is running) then return "state=not_running" end if
-- Plural accessors on purpose. `repeat with p in presentations` + `name of p`
-- raises -2763 ("no result was returned") on current Mac PowerPoint builds;
-- `name of every presentation` returns the list correctly. Using the working
-- form needs no error handler, so nothing here swallows a failure.

on error errMsg number errNum
-- One documented expected number: -18, which is what Mac PowerPoint returns
-- when the named macro is not available (module never imported, macros
-- disabled, or the container not open). Verified by running this probe
-- against a PowerPoint with DeckOps.pptm open and no DeckOps module in it.
-- Everything else -- a user cancel, a modal block, an unexpected failure --
-- propagates, and deckops-doctor.py reports the non-zero osascript exit
-- with its stderr as the detail.
