morph-ppt

Use this skill when the user wants a .pptx with smooth cross-slide animation — PowerPoint Morph transitions, Keynote-style continuous motion, shapes that grow / move / rotate as the slide advances. Trigger on: 'morph', 'morph transition', 'smooth transition', 'continuous animation across slides', 'Keynote-style transition', 'animated slide sequence', 'shape continuity across slides'. Output is a single .pptx. This skill is a scene layer on top of officecli-pptx — inherits every pptx v2 rule (visual floor, grid, palettes, connector canon, Delivery Gate 1–5a). DO NOT invoke for a generic deck, pitch deck, or board review without cross-slide motion — route those to officecli-pptx base or officecli-pitch-deck.

Quality

Content

77%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is highly actionable with a clearly sequenced, well-validated workflow, but it is long for the context budget with recurring redundancy, and its progressive disclosure is undermined by references to bundle files that are not actually provided.

Suggestions

Dedupe the M-2 ghost-accumulation rule: state it once in §Ghost Discipline & Actor Lifecycle and have the Pitfalls table and Known Issues M-2 point to it instead of re-explaining the same guidance.

Provide the referenced bundle files (reference/decision-rules.md, reference/morph-helpers.py/.sh, reference/styles/INDEX.md, and the inherited skills/officecli-pptx/SKILL.md) or remove the dangling references so navigation targets are real.

Move the verbose Gate 5b jq/loop snippets and the full pitfall table into a reference file, leaving SKILL.md as a lean overview with one-level pointers.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Largely additive and good about deferring inherited material ('→ see pptx v2 §X'), but ~530 lines with notable redundancy — the M-2 ghost-accumulation rule and the per-slide re-ghosting guidance each recur across §Mental Model, §Ghost Discipline, the Pitfalls table, and Known Issues M-2 — so it could be tightened.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready bash and python blocks with exact officecli commands and real props (e.g. `--prop 'name=!!scene-ring' --prop x=5cm`), jq readback snippets, and concrete raw-set examples — no pseudocode.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Clear pre-code sequence (Setup → Help-First → pair-planning table → recipes) with explicit validation checkpoints in the Delivery Gate (Gate 1–5b OK/REJECT, COUNT-then-if/else pattern) and feedback loops (REJECT → fix → re-run) for batch/destructive operations.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	References are well-signaled in prose ('→ see pptx v2 §X', a References section), but the actual bundle directories (reference/, scripts/, assets/) and the cited files (decision-rules.md, morph-helpers.py, styles/INDEX.md, skills/officecli-pptx/SKILL.md) are not present in the bundle, and the ~530-line body keeps Gate loops, recipes, and pitfalls inline where they could be split.	2 / 3

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, well-targeted description: it states concrete capabilities, lists natural user trigger phrases, answers both 'what' and 'when' explicitly, and disambiguates from sibling skills via explicit routing. Written in third person with no fluff.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'smooth cross-slide animation', 'PowerPoint Morph transitions', 'shapes that grow / move / rotate as the slide advances' — rather than vague language; matches the anchor for listing several specific concrete actions.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what (a single .pptx with smooth cross-slide animation / shape continuity) and when ('Use this skill when the user wants...', 'Trigger on:'), with an explicit trigger clause rather than implying it.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Provides a rich set of natural trigger phrases a user would say ('morph', 'smooth transition', 'continuous animation across slides', 'Keynote-style transition', 'animated slide sequence', 'shape continuity across slides'), giving good coverage of natural phrasings.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Carves a clear niche and adds explicit anti-triggers ('DO NOT invoke for a generic deck, pitch deck, or board review without cross-slide motion — route those to officecli-pptx base or officecli-pitch-deck'), making a wrong-skill trigger unlikely.	3 / 3
