skywork-ppt is a Skywork agent skill that generates, restyles, and edits PowerPoint .pptx decks from natural language for developers who need stakeholder slides for pitches, launches, or executive updates.

About

skywork-ppt is a Skywork skill for PowerPoint work triggered across English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean phrases—generate a PPT from a topic, imitate an existing .pptx template or style, or edit slides by number with commands like modify slide N, change background, or add a slide. Developers reach for skywork-ppt when a launch deck, investor pitch, or internal stakeholder update must ship quickly without rebuilding masters in Keynote or Google Slides. The skill handles creation, template cloning, visual polish requests, and targeted slide edits through conversational instructions rather than manual ribbon clicking.

  • Four capabilities: generate from topic, imitate .pptx template/style, natural-language slide edits, local .pptx file ops
  • Multilingual triggers for generate, template, edit, merge, reorder, and slide-count queries
  • Local operations: delete/reorder slides, merge pptx, extract slides without backend when applicable
  • Requires python3 and SKYWORK_API_KEY for cloud generation and templating flows
  • Edit intents: modify slide N, backgrounds, add slides, beautify existing decks

How do you generate a PowerPoint from a topic?

Generate, restyle, or edit PowerPoint decks from natural language using Skywork when you need slides for pitches, launches, or stakeholder updates.

Who is it for?

Developers and PMs who must ship pitch or launch PowerPoint decks quickly using natural-language edits instead of manual slide authoring.

Skip if: Developers who need browser-based HTML/CSS slide decks with cinematic animations rather than native .pptx files.

When should I use this skill?

The user asks to generate a PPT, imitate a template, modify slide N, change backgrounds, or beautify an existing PowerPoint.

What you get

Finished or updated .pptx presentation files with new slides, restyled layouts, or template-matched decks.

  • .pptx presentation file
  • restyled slide deck

By the numbers

  • Supports creation triggers in 4 languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean

Prerequisites

API Key Configuration (Required First)

This skill requires a SKYWORK_API_KEY to be configured in OpenClaw.

If you don't have an API key yet, please visit: https://skywork.ai

For detailed setup instructions, see: references/apikey-fetch.md

---

Privacy & Remote Calls (Read Before Use)

  • Remote upload & processing: Layers 1/2/4 upload local files and send the full, verbatim user query to the Skywork service. Avoid sensitive or confidential content unless you trust the remote service and its data handling policies.
  • Local-only operations: Layer 3 (local ops) runs entirely on-device and does not call the remote gateway. Use Layer 3 if you need strict local processing.
  • Polling behavior: The generation/edit workflows include periodic status polling (about every 5 seconds) while waiting for backend jobs. This is expected.

Routing — Identify the user's intent first

User intentWhich path
Generate a new PPT from a topic, set of requirements or reference filesLayer 1 — Generate
Use an existing .pptx as a layout/style template to create a new presentationLayer 2 — Imitate
Edit an existing PPT: modify slides, add slides, change style, split/mergeLayer 4 — Edit
Delete / reorder / extract / merge slides in a local file (no backend)Layer 3 — Local ops

Environment check (always run this first)

This skill requires Python 3 (>=3.8). Run the following before any script to locate a valid Python binary and install dependencies.

PYTHON_CMD=""
for cmd in python3 python python3.13 python3.12 python3.11 python3.10 python3.9 python3.8; do
  if command -v "$cmd" &>/dev/null && "$cmd" -c "import sys; exit(0 if sys.version_info >= (3,8) else 1)" 2>/dev/null; then
    PYTHON_CMD="$cmd"
    break
  fi
done

if [ -z "$PYTHON_CMD" ]; then
  echo "ERROR: Python 3.8+ not found."
  echo "Install on macOS: brew install python3  or visit https://www.python.org/downloads/"
  exit 1
fi

echo "Found Python: $PYTHON_CMD ($($PYTHON_CMD --version))"

$PYTHON_CMD -m pip install -q --break-system-packages python-pptx
echo "Dependencies ready."
After this check, replace python with the discovered $PYTHON_CMD (e.g. python3) in all subsequent commands.

Layer 1 — Generate PPT

Steps

0. REQUIRED FIRST STEP — Read workflow_generate.md NOW, before taking any other action. After reading, output exactly: ✅ workflow_generate.md loaded. — then proceed. 1. Environment check — run the check above to get $PYTHON_CMD. 2. Upload reference files (if the user provides local files as content source) — parse the file using tool in script/parse_file.py and pass the result to --files. See the --files note below. 3. Web search (required if no relevant content is already in the conversation) — call web_search tool in script to search the topic and distill results into a reference-file file of ≤ 2000 words. 4. Run the script:

Important: set exec tool yieldMs to 600000 (10 minutes).

5. Deliver — provide the absolute .pptx path and the download URL.

---

Layer 2 — Imitate PPT (template-based generation)

Steps

0. REQUIRED FIRST STEP - Read workflow_imitate.md immidiately before any action you do!!! 1. Environment check — run the check above to get $PYTHON_CMD. 2. Locate the template — extract the absolute path of the local .pptx from the user's message; ask the user if it's unclear. 3. Upload the template — upload it and extract TEMPLATE_URL from the output. 4. Upload reference files (if the user provides additional local files as content source) — parse the file using tool in script/parse_file.py and pass the result to --files. See the --files 5. Web search (required if no relevant content is already in the conversation) — call web_search tool in script to search the new topic and distill results into a reference-file file of ≤ 2000 words. 6. Run the script:

Important: set exec tool yieldMs to 600000 (10 minutes).

7. Deliver — provide the absolute .pptx path, the download URL, and the template filename used.

---

Layer 4 — Edit PPT (AI-powered modification)

Use this layer when the user wants to modify an existing PPT using natural language. Requires an OSS/CDN URL of the PPTX (from a previous generation or upload).

Steps

0. Detailed workflow - Read workflow_edit.md immediately before any action you do!!! 1. Environment check — run the check above to get $PYTHON_CMD. 2. Get PPTX URL — from the user's message or upload a local file first. 3. Run the script with --pptx-url:

   $PYTHON_CMD scripts/run_ppt_write.py "edit instruction" \
     --language Chinese \
     --pptx-url "https://cdn.example.com/file.pptx" \
     -o /absolute/path/output.pptx
Important: set exec tool yieldMs to 600000 (10 minutes).

4. Deliver — provide download link, local path, and summary of changes.

Layer 3 — Local file operations

# Inspect slide count and titles
$PYTHON_CMD scripts/local_pptx_ops.py info --file my.pptx

# Delete slides (1-based index; supports ranges like 3,5,7-9; omit -o to overwrite in place)
$PYTHON_CMD scripts/local_pptx_ops.py delete --file my.pptx --slides 3,5,7-9 -o trimmed.pptx

# Reorder slides (must list every slide, no omissions)
$PYTHON_CMD scripts/local_pptx_ops.py reorder --file my.pptx --order 2,1,4,3,5

# Extract a subset of slides into a new file
$PYTHON_CMD scripts/local_pptx_ops.py extract --file my.pptx --slides 1-3 -o subset.pptx

# Merge multiple files
$PYTHON_CMD scripts/local_pptx_ops.py merge --files a.pptx b.pptx -o merged.pptx

Read workflow_local.md immidiately before any action you do!!!

Error Handling

  • Insufficient benefit: When calling scripts (generate, imitate, or edit), the script or log may show a message like Insufficient benefit. Please upgrade your account at {url}, meaning the user's benefit level does not meet the requirement for this skill.

How to reply when benefit is insufficient

When you detect the above, reply in the user's current language — do not echo the English message. Use this pattern:

  • Convey: "Sorry, PPT generation failed. This skill requires upgrading your Skywork membership to use." then a single call-to-action link.
  • Format: One short sentence in the user's language + a link like [Upgrade now →](url) or the equivalent in their language .
  • URL: Extract the upgrade URL from the log/script output (e.g. the at https://... part).
Note: Only suggest upgrading when the error is Insufficient benefit. For auth errors like NO_TOKEN / INVALID_TOKEN / 401 / “invalid API key”, keep the error code / raw message and guide users to update SKYWORK_API_KEY. Do not suggest upgrading membership.

---

Dependencies

  • Python 3.8+ (required) — python3 / python must be on PATH
  • Layer 3 local ops: pip install python-pptx --break-system-packages

(The environment check step installs all required dependencies automatically.)
