Create, design, and audit PowerPoint presentations with precise layout control and design principles.

Supports high-fidelity slide creation via HTML-to-PPTX conversion with exact 720pt × 405pt positioning and rasterized visuals

Includes template-based workflows: audit decks with thumbnail grids, inject content via JSON mapping, and rearrange slides programmatically

Enforces design quality standards: web-safe fonts only, proper hex color formatting, two-column layouts, and final verification thumbnails to catch text cutoff or overlap

Built for pitch decks, status updates, and visual storytelling with proactive design intervention when layout precision matters

<high_fidelity_creation>
The preferred method for precise layout positioning:

HTML: Create slides (720pt x 405pt). Text MUST be in <p>, <h1>-<h6>, or <ul>.

Visuals: You MUST rasterize gradients/icons as PNGs using Sharp FIRST. Reference: references/html2pptx.md.

Execution: Run html2pptx.js to generate the presentation.

<template_structure>
For deck editing or template mapping:

Audit: Generate thumbnail grid (scripts/thumbnail.py) to analyze layout.

Duplication: Use scripts/rearrange.py to duplicate and reorder slides.

Text Injection: Use scripts/replace.py with the JSON inventory to populate content.
