PPT Layout

What It Solves

In slide design, the harder problem is often not missing content but poor visual organization: text blocks crowd each other, graphic elements drift out of alignment, data pages lack clear emphasis, and comparison or timeline pages become hard to scan. PPT Layout addresses these page-level layout issues by turning manual layout adjustments into reusable checks, helping move a deck from a stack of assets to a deliverable structure.

How It Works

The skill uses the ALIGN layout method to organize each page across five dimensions:
- Anchor alignment: constrain element positions with grid references to reduce drift and baseline mismatches;
- Layer hierarchy: use font size, weight, and spacing to establish reading priority;
- Image captions: connect charts, screenshots, and illustrations with the right labels and explanations;
- Negative space: control visual density and avoid element stacking;
- Glance readability: make titles, conclusions, and data labels recognizable during a quick scan.

In practice, provide the scene, audience, key information, and constraints first, then request a specific module such as a data page, comparison page, or final polish. It can produce outputs like layout plans, polished drafts, layout cards, and checklists, making it useful as a structural draft before human refinement.

Where It Fits

The skill is best suited for image-text pages, data pages, comparison pages, timelines, and final slide polish. If the content depends on official outlines, current policies, or real-time data, treat official releases as authoritative. Important external deliverables still require human review and should follow your company template and internal visual standards.
