code-to-ppt is a skill for AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and OpenClaw that helps them build PowerPoint presentations. Instead of just dropping content into a template, it walks the AI through a structured process meant to produce a deck where every slide and claim can actually stand up to scrutiny, not just look polished. The workflow has seven stages. First, the AI interviews you with five to twelve questions to understand what you actually need, since this is the only stage that requires your close involvement. From there it moves on its own: it plans the presentation's structure using a pyramid style, where the conclusion comes first, followed by reasons and evidence. Then it chooses colors, fonts, and visual themes based on the content and audience rather than picking something generic. After that it generates the actual slides as a .pptx file, using whatever tools are available in your setup. Once a draft exists, four separate reviewer roles, each isolated from the others so they cannot influence one another, check it from different angles: the target audience's perspective, a picky designer's eye, a logic reviewer, and someone focused on how long the presentation would take to deliver. A chair role combines their four reports into a single score out of 100, and the AI keeps fixing high-priority problems until that score reaches at least 80. The skill deliberately pushes back on requests that would make the presentation worse rather than simply agreeing with everything you ask for. It avoids common AI design cliches like purple-to-blue gradients and excessive emoji. It has no external dependencies: everything is plain Markdown and YAML, so there is nothing to install beyond copying the skill folder into the right directory for your tool. It keeps a small per-project memory file, capped at five kilobytes, so past decisions carry over without bloating context over time. It is best suited to formal five-to-thirty page presentations like pitches, reports, or reviews, and less suited to quick, throwaway slide updates.
