- Requirements
- File access and Node.js with pptxgenjs for new decks. Editing and visual checks may also need Python packages, LibreOffice, and Poppler; these are not installed with the skill.
- Keep in mind
- Fonts can render differently across computers. Verify in PowerPoint; charts and claims must come from your own data.
