Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# PPTX Reference Deck Analysis Inspect a reference deck as design evidence. This skill never copies, clones, or mutates a source deck. ## Contract Implement required extraction on demand with a small task-local `python-pptx` script. Capture only the information required for the new deck: - compact prompt context: slide count and size, text summaries, shape counts, styles, brand signals, template use, and layout rhythm; - full extraction: `summary`, slides, and read-only `layout_tree` evidence; - folder diagnostics: one result per deck plus a manifest; - style-master analysis: colors, fonts, size distribution, master/layout use, and flow patterns; - derived template catalog: zero-based source indices, layout roles, usable regions, placeholders, visual structures, and constraints. ## Rules - Keep the source deck read-only and independently author every target-slide coordinate. - Use the bundled OOXML utilities only for raw themes, relationships, notes, comments, animations, media, masters, or layouts that high-level extraction cannot expose. - Record inspected parts and parsing exceptions in the analysis manifest. - Do not use extracted content, fonts, images, or proprietary assets i

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill pptx-reference-deck-analysis --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From wshobson/agents, a repository with 38,479 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
