<!-- PM-Skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills | Apache 2.0 --> # Slideshow Creator Generate professional presentations (.pptx and .pdf) from a JSON deck specification. Zero design decisions at generation time - Claude selects slide types and fills content slots; all visual properties are pre-decided by the theme. ## When to Use - Creating slide decks for stakeholder updates, product reviews, team presentations - Generating professional .pptx files from content briefs - Producing consistent presentations without manual formatting - Exporting presentations to PDF for sharing or archiving ## When NOT to Use - Creating complex data visualizations (use dedicated charting tools) - Building interactive web presentations (this produces .pptx, not HTML) - Editing existing PowerPoint files (this creates new decks from scratch) ## How It Works **Two-phase architecture:** 1. **Spec phase (Claude)** - Read the content brief, select slide types using decision logic, write a JSON deck specification.

Where does this skill come from?
From product-on-purpose/pm-skills, a repository with 518 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.
