# PPT Template Command

> Create a reusable PPT template skill -- learn why branded consistency matters in financial services and how to teach Claude your firm's presentation standards.

# `/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](/en/financial-analysis/skills/ppt-template-creator) page.

## Command Syntax

```
/ppt-template [path to .pptx or .potx file]
```

**Examples:**

```bash theme={null}
/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.

<Tip>
  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

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

## How to Customize for Your Firm

```bash theme={null}
claude plugin install financial-analysis@financial-services-plugins
```

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.
