tessl review fix ./plugins/agent-plugins/market-researcher/skills/pptx-author/SKILL.mdUse this skill when running headless (managed-agent / CMA mode) and you need to deliver a PowerPoint deck as a file artifact rather than editing a live document via mcp__office__powerpoint_*.
./out/<name>.pptx. Create ./out/ if it does not exist.Write a short Python script and run it with Bash. Use python-pptx:
from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches, Pt
prs = Presentation("./templates/firm-template.pptx") # if a template is provided
# or: prs = Presentation()
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[5]) # title-only
slide.shapes.title.text = "Valuation Summary"
# ... add tables / charts / text boxes ...
prs.save("./out/pitch-<target>.pptx")pitch-deck skill)./out/model.xlsx, footnote the sheet and cell../templates/; otherwise default layouts.If mcp__office__powerpoint_* tools are available (Cowork plugin mode), use those instead — they drive the user's live document with review checkpoints. This skill is the file-producing fallback for headless runs.
