powerpoint

I took a look at your powerpoint skill and wanted to share some thoughts.

The TL;DR

You're at 67/100, which lands in D territory - there's solid potential here, but a few gaps are holding you back. This is based on Anthropic's best practices for skill design. Your spec compliance is actually your strongest area (12/15 - the frontmatter is clean), but utility and workflow clarity are dragging things down. The good news? These are fixable with some targeted work.

What's Working Well

• Clean metadata - Your YAML frontmatter is valid, and the skill name follows proper hyphen-case conventions
• Good trigger phrases - You've got discoverable language like "PowerPoint", "pitch deck", and "slideshow" that will help users find this when they need it
• Solid examples - The JSON examples for creating presentations show actual use cases, which is exactly what people need to understand the capability

The Big One: Missing Feedback Loops

Here's what's really holding you back - there's no validation or troubleshooting section. Right now someone could run your commands and have no idea if it actually worked. This is a high-severity issue affecting your utility score.

The fix: Add a Verification section after your "How to Use" that shows:

• How to check the output exists (e.g., ls -lh presentation.pptx)
• How to validate the file is valid (e.g., unzip -l presentation.pptx | head)
• A Common Issues section covering things like missing pptxgenjs dependency or JSON validation errors

This alone could get you +3 points and turns this from a "here's a command" skill into a "here's how to actually use it" skill.
