01 What It Does

Dashi PPT

A content-plan-driven deck generator with a three-template-plus-one-custom model, theme contracts, local editing, and explicit export and validation paths.

Source-based workflowNot an execution benchmark

The Working Approach

Dashi PPT turns a presentation brief into a structured content plan and a themed HTML deck. Its defining unit is the logical slide: one content record feeds three structurally different template options and a fourth agent-designed composition. The point is to compare layouts while keeping the underlying business facts consistent, rather than generating several independently written decks.

The default result is an HTML presentation that can be opened offline. Editing and export features use the dedicated local service. PPTX and PDF must be requested and produced through the supported export path. The workflow relies on the packaged generator and layout contracts, not freehand slide HTML. Text limits, media slots and content bindings determine what each candidate layout can hold.

From Brief to Review

01
Set The Presentation Brief
Confirm the audience, core question, page count, theme, media intent, and actual delivery format. A request for a presentation does not by itself select PowerPoint output.
02
Write One Content Source
Give each logical page a clear role and core message, with its real numbers, claims, and media. Keep chart interpretations aligned with the supplied data.
03
Generate Four Compositions
Use the layout query and inspection tools for three distinct template choices, then create a custom composition within the selected theme's language.
04
Validate And Export
Check the generation plan, visible copy, assets, and final deck. Decide whether the export contains all alternatives or only the chosen composition for each logical slide.

02 When to Use It

When to Use It

Requires Node.js 20+, npm, and the generator packaged with the skill. Use its local preview service for editing/export features; a generic static server does not provide those APIs.

A Good Fit

Layout ComparisonUseful when a team wants to judge different visual treatments of the same message without accidentally comparing different wording or data.
Theme-Constrained ReportsFits business, research, and technical decks that benefit from established page structures and a local editor rather than a one-off coded composition.

Limits to Check

HTML Is The DefaultOpening the deck file is not the same as having an editable PowerPoint. The source uses a dedicated local service or export command for PPTX delivery.
Templates Have CapacityVisible item counts, text budgets, chart types, and media slots are layout constraints. A mismatched page needs a better layout or shorter supported copy, not hidden overflow.

Bring These Inputs

Goal And AudienceExplain what decision or understanding the presentation should support, who will see it, and any required narrative sections.
Verified ContentProvide real facts, chart data, and conclusions. Identify draft assumptions so the deck does not inherit unrelated template statistics.
Theme, Media, And FormatChoose a visual theme, supply approved assets or authorize a media approach, and state HTML, PPTX, or PDF explicitly.

03 Decisions That Matter

Decisions That Matter

Canonical Slide Content
A shared content record means a factual correction can flow to all four alternatives instead of leaving an old metric hidden in one layout.
Custom Within Constraints
The fourth option is a separately reasoned composition, but it stays within the theme and structured element vocabulary rather than becoming an unrelated design.

04 Try a Focused Brief

Try a Focused Brief

The example brief below has not been tested. Check the skill’s setup before using it.

Review the Setup

Use the full skill folder and built-in project generator. Its platform-specific render scripts install project dependencies as documented; no separate universal installer is established here.

Requires Node.js 20+, npm, and the generator packaged with the skill. Use its local preview service for editing/export features; a generic static server does not provide those APIs.

Start With One Deliverable

Adapt the scope, source material and constraints in this brief before running the skill.

Example Brief

Use Dashi PPT to make an eight-slide English review of the supplied customer-research findings for product leadership. Use a restrained research theme, no generated images, and only the provided figures. Create the standard three template options plus one custom composition for each logical slide. Check that every alternative preserves the same facts. Deliver the HTML preview first; do not export PPTX until we select the final variants.

Inspect the Result

Check the actual output against these observable criteria.

Every logical slide has three template alternatives and one custom composition with consistent facts.
The rendered deck contains the intended language and no unrelated template sample copy.
Exported page count matches comparison mode or selected-only mode as requested.

06 Questions Before You Start

Questions Before You Start

Why does a ten-slide brief show forty pages?

Comparison mode expands each logical slide into four alternatives. Selected-only mode exports one chosen composition per logical slide.

Can I change a fact in all alternatives at once?

That is the intent of the canonical content model: alternatives bind to one content record instead of carrying independent business-copy duplicates.

Can I export PPTX from a file URL?

The documented editable export path needs the dedicated local service or direct export command. An offline file URL is for viewing, not the full export service.
