/ppt-template — PPT Template Creator

In financial services, presentation quality signals professionalism. When a pitch deck arrives with inconsistent fonts, misaligned charts, or layouts that do not match the firm’s branding, it creates a poor first impression — regardless of how strong the analysis is. Every major bank and PE firm has carefully designed PowerPoint templates that enforce consistent branding across all client-facing materials. This command analyzes your firm’s PowerPoint template and generates a reusable skill that captures everything Claude needs to create presentations matching your exact branding — slide dimensions, layout indices, placeholder positions, and content area boundaries. It is a one-time setup per template. For technical details on template analysis and skill generation, see the PPT Template Creator Skill page.

​
Command Syntax

/ppt-template [path to .pptx or .potx file]
Examples: 
/ppt-template ./templates/FirmName_Pitch_Template.pptx
/ppt-template ./templates/Board_Materials_v2.potx
/ppt-template
If no file path is provided, Claude will ask for the template file.
This is a one-time setup per template. After running /ppt-template, every presentation Claude creates using that template will automatically match your firm’s style guide.

​
What It Produces

A new skill directory containing:
  • SKILL.md — Complete instructions with exact layout coordinates
  • assets/template.pptx — Your template file bundled with the skill
This command creates skills, not presentations. If you want to create a presentation using an existing template skill, simply describe what you want in natural language.

How to Customize for Your Firm

After running /ppt-template, the generated skill file can be further customized. Edit the SKILL.md to add firm-specific guidelines like required disclaimers, footnote formatting, or slide ordering conventions.
