PPT Helper

Problem

Writing slide scripts often hits the same failure modes: vague requirements, inconsistent layouts, text overflow, and small python-pptx mistakes such as wrong layout indexes or missing Inches() / Pt() wrappers. PPT Helper turns “make a deck” into a confirmable workflow: parse natural language or a Markdown outline, present a numbered slide list, wait for approval, then generate a self-contained Python script and verify the .pptx file.

Workflow and Boundaries

Core capabilities:

• Input: natural language such as “make a 10-slide deck about AI safety”, or Markdown where each ## heading becomes a slide and each bullet becomes list content.
• Layouts: title, bullet content, blank, two-column, image + text, table, and ending slides using python-pptx patterns.
• Styling: four preset themes—Professional Blue, Warm Orange, Clean Green, and Dark Mode—with default typography such as 32pt slide titles and 14pt body text.
• Verification: run the generated script and confirm the .pptx output exists, which is useful for a first draft.

This is not a design tool. It does not guarantee polished visuals, animations, or master-slide consistency. Long text can still overflow, Chinese text should explicitly use a CJK font such as Microsoft YaHei, and dimensions should use Inches() or Pt(). It fits structured reports, technical talks, solution drafts, and repeatable template generation.
