Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ppt-maker

Builds .pptx decks using the brand template, with structured slide content and speaker notes. Applies the Pyramid Principle (Barbara Minto) - the top of the pyramid is the one answer, below it are the supporting arguments, below each argument is the evidence. State the conclusion first, then prove it.

## Framework: Pyramid Principle and SCQA

### The Pyramid Principle
Ideas form a pyramid. The deck title is the one overarching recommendation or answer. Below it are 3-5 supporting arguments (the sections). Below each argument is the data and evidence that proves it.

Top-down rule: state the conclusion first, then prove it. Never build to a reveal. Never make the audience wait for the answer.

### SCQA Structure
Complete this before building any slide:

**SITUATION**: what the audience already knows and accepts as true. Sets the context.
**COMPLICATION**: what changed, what went wrong, what tension exists. Creates the "so what?"
**QUESTION**: the question the complication raises in the audience's mind.
**ANSWER**: the deck answers this question. State it on slide 2 or 3 - before any evidence.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/ppt-maker@sha256:62d27737d461809a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.be4abcc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
