PPTX Slide Auditor Skill

Runs a systematic visual and structural audit of a PowerPoint presentation — identifying layout issues, text overflow, inconsistent styling, weak visual hierarchy, and slides that will cause problems in a presentation setting. Built to leverage Opus 4.7 vision improvements for pixel-level layout analysis.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

• The deck (upload the .pptx file or individual slide screenshots)
• Audience (internal team / executive / external client / conference / investor)
• Presentation mode (presented live / sent to read / shared async on video)
• Areas of concern (optional — e.g. "I think slide 12 is overcrowded")

Output Structure

1. Deck Overview

Metric	Result
Total slides	N
Overall status	Ready / Minor fixes needed / Major revisions required
Readability score	/10
Visual consistency score	/10
Most common issue	[Pattern observed across multiple slides]

2. Slide-by-Slide Audit

For each slide with issues:

Slide N: [Slide title]

• Status: Ready / Fix before sending / Major revision
• Issues found:
  • [Specific issue with exact location — e.g. "Body text extends beyond the text frame on the right side"]
  • [Issue 2]
• Suggested fix: [Specific action — move element, reduce text, resize]

Slides with no issues: just list the slide numbers. Do not write anything else about them.

3. Pattern Issues Across the Deck

Issues that repeat across multiple slides:

[Pattern title — e.g. "Inconsistent body text size"]

• Slides affected: [list]
• Root cause: [master slide issue / manual overrides / mixed templates]
