Timesaver Visual Library — Index

Name: metis-strategy/metis-pptx
Rating: 84 (1 reviews)
Author: metis-strategy

The Metis Timesaver deck is the canonical library of slide structures — 260 pre-designed layouts that span every chart type, framework, and narrative arc Metis Strategy uses. This is one of the two co-equal design paths in metis-pptx (see SKILL.md §0.6).

Source pptx: G:\Shared drives\Knowledge Management\New Brand Assets\PPT Assets\Metis_Timesaver Slides.pptx

Rendered PNG previews:

G:\Shared drives\Knowledge Management\New Brand Assets\PPT Assets\timesaver_pngs\slide-{N}.png

Every Metis machine has the G:\ drive mapped, so the path resolves identically for everyone — no per-user setup, rendering, or caching required.

How to use this index

When designing a content slide via Path B (see SKILL.md §0.6 for routing rules):

Scan this index. Find the row whose "Use when..." matches the thought you want to express.
Load 2-4 candidate previews from the shared-drive path above using the multimodal Read tool.
Pick the winner. Reproduce the layout in python-pptx using brand tokens from metis-brand.md.

Do NOT default to "title + bullets in boxes" when the thought has a structural metaphor. Pick the shape that expresses the thought first; the text comes second.
