Create new presentation decks as native editable PPTX files with consulting-quality design. Use when the user wants to build a new slide deck, presentation, or pitch deck from a brief or topic. For editing existing .pptx files, use the pptx skill instead.

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

# Deck Design: Operational Playbook

## What This Skill Does

- **Input:** a deck brief + any structured data the user has (tables, time series, bridges, evaluation criteria, etc.).
- **Output:** a native **editable `.pptx`** file with slide masters, theme colors, and all content as PowerPoint-native objects (text boxes, shapes, charts). Every element is individually editable in PowerPoint.

### The brief

The **brief** is everything the user provides about what they want. Before generating anything, extract these signals:

| Signal | Examples | Defaults if absent |
|---|---|---|
| **Objective** | "pitch to Series A investors", "board strategy update", "SBIR Phase II proposal deck" | General presentation |
| **Audience** | "DoD program managers", "VC partners", "internal team" | General professional |
| **Brand identity** | Logo colors, company name, client palette | Palette defaults |
| **Tone / firm style** | "McKinsey-style", "clean and modern", "urgent/high-stakes" | Infer from audience + objective |
| **Density** | "dense and evidence-heavy", "keep it simple", specific L1/L2/L3 | Infer from audience + objective |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add appautomaton/presentation/deck-design-ppt@sha256:a1d4b0b532a2dd41

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260708.a7d4a93, 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.
