Create, edit, and extract data from PowerPoint presentations programmatically
What You Can Do
This skill gives you complete control over PowerPoint presentations through Claude. You can create new decks from scratch with custom content, extract text and speaker notes from existing files, inspect metadata and slide structure, edit presentations by unpacking and repacking XML, combine or split presentations, and export outlines for use elsewhere. Whether you're generating reports, processing slide content, or modifying templates, this skill handles all .pptx operations programmatically.
Features
specify slides, titles, body text, and formatting in one command
pull all text, speaker notes, or slide-by-slide content for analysis or reuse
view metadata, slide count, layout information, and presentation properties
unpack to XML, modify content or formatting, and repack into .pptx
convert deck content to text or structured formats for summaries, emails, or documents
preserve design while updating content programmatically
read, extract, or modify presentation annotations
Example Output
Example 1: Create a pitch deck
Input: Create a 5-slide pitch deck for TechStartup with sections for Problem, Solution, Market, Team, and Ask
Output: deck.pptx containing:
- Slide 1: Title slide with company name
- Slide 2: Problem statement with key pain points
- Slide 3: Solution overview with differentiators
- Slide 4: Market opportunity and TAM
- Slide 5: Team bios and funding ask
Example 2: Extract and summarize presentation content
Input: Read all text from quarterly_review.pptx and create an executive summary
Output: Complete text extraction with speaker notes, plus 200-word summary highlighting:
- Key metrics and results
- Strategic initiatives completed
- Upcoming priorities
Example 3: Batch edit presentations
Input: Update all 12 slide decks in /presentations/ folder with new company logo and updated contact info
Output: Modified .pptx files with consistent branding applied programmatically

When a user uploads a file to Claude, you can intelligently detect its type and read it using the appropriate method. Instead of blindly running cat on binary files or loading massive CSVs into context, this skill routes each file type to the right tool, reading only what's needed to answer the user's question. You'll extract text from PDFs, parse structured data from CSVs and JSON, process images, and decompress archives—all without wasting context or producing garbage output.

You can formally verify mathematical proofs by translating theorems into Lean 4 code, leveraging Mathlib's extensive library of formalized mathematics. The skill guides you through researching existing lemmas, designing proof strategies, testing approaches, implementing formal proofs, and verifying correctness—turning informal mathematical claims into machine-checked theorems without requiring deep Lean syntax expertise.

You can interact with NotebookLM programmatically to automate research workflows, content generation, and knowledge management tasks. This skill guides you through creating and managing notebooks, adding diverse source types (URLs, YouTube videos, PDFs, Google Drive files, text), generating multiple content formats (podcasts, reports, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, slides, infographics), and conducting intelligent research through source-aware chat interactions.
You can perform end-to-end PDF operations including extracting text and metadata from documents, merging multiple PDFs into a single file, splitting PDFs by page ranges, filling fillable forms programmatically, and adding text overlays to non-fillable PDFs. This skill handles both simple read operations and complex document workflows, making it essential for document processing, form automation, and PDF batch operations.

You can systematically verify licensing compliance across music compositions, calculate accurate mechanical royalties against current statutory rates, and generate audit-ready documentation that satisfies internal controls and external audit demands. This skill consolidates manual spreadsheet workflows into a structured, repeatable process with built-in error detection and cross-referencing against NMPA rates, licensing agreements, and regulatory requirements.

You can design complete REST API specifications from requirements, translating them into resource-oriented endpoint architectures that follow industry best practices. Claude generates OpenAPI 3.0 schemas with validated request/response definitions, ensures correct HTTP method semantics and status code usage, and produces Swagger documentation ready for Swagger UI, ReDoc, or Postman integration. Catch design anti-patterns and naming inconsistencies before implementation.
You can systematically identify all licensing requirements for a musical work across multiple territories, coordinate approvals from rights holders and collection societies, and generate legally compliant clearance letters and license terms. This skill maps composition rights (mechanical, performance, synchronization) and sound recording rights (master use, digital performance) while accounting for territory-specific regulations like EU directives, UK post-Brexit rules, and jurisdiction-specific collection society requirements.

Query your local Screenpipe instance to retrieve screen recordings, audio transcriptions, UI element accessibility trees, keyboard/mouse input logs, and productivity analytics. You can search by keywords, filter by content type (audio, OCR, accessibility, input), set time ranges, and extract structured data about your applications, meetings, and work sessions without sending data to external servers.
