Generate PowerPoint decks programmatically from data using the python-pptx library. Best for templated decks — per-customer reports, weekly metrics, batched architecture summaries — where the deck structure is fixed but content varies per row.

From the source SKILL.md

Quick Start: Install python-pptx → load a template .pptx → iterate over data → place text/images/shapes via the API → save. Outputs native, fully-editable PowerPoint files.
