Highlights
⚡ Tell your AI what to cover, get the deck. You bring the content, the engine handles layout, color, type size, and spacing. The same content renders the same deck every time, so there is nothing to redo and no luck involved.
✏️ A real deck, not a picture of one. Every heading, bullet, and chart bar opens in PowerPoint for you to retype and restyle. Chart and table figures are the exception: to change the numbers, have your AI rebuild that page. 24 ready-made styles, and you can pull the colors and fonts out of a deck your company already uses.
🔌 Installs into the agent you already use. One command puts pptwise into DeepSeek Harness, Claude Code, or any agent that reads a skill folder (Codex and friends), and it knows how to build a deck the moment it lands.
🔁 Revisions without describing everything again. One command opens a live preview in your browser. Tell your AI what to change in plain words — the page refreshes itself as each revision lands.
🔒 No account, no API key to render, no network at render time. Install it and it works. Node 22.19+ or Bun is all you need on the machine. Optional stock-photo search uses the user's own Pexels key.
Install
Step 1, hand it to your AI. Send it this line:
Install the pptwise deck skill following https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liustack/pptwise/main/INSTALL.md, then run the health check and tell me the result.
There is no step 2. Your AI puts the skill folder where your harness reads it, and the skill brings its own version-pinned launcher, so there is no CLI to install by hand. pptwise renders a PPTX entirely locally: no API key, no account, nothing to configure for render. Optional stock-photo search needs the user's own Pexels key. The only prerequisite is Node 22.19+ (or Bun).
On DeepSeek Harness, it is one command instead. pptwise is a native DSH plugin there, not a skill folder:
npx -y @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web add @liustack/[email protected]
Name the version. Without it, the install quietly lands on an older release and you miss the newest features. npm view @liustack/pptwise version prints the current one. The plugin card shows up as "pptwise", registers the deck-generation skill, and carries the CLI inside its own package. Uninstalling removes the skill with no residue.
Quick start
An IR is one JSON file describing the whole deck. Write a minimal one, then run the validate → render → preview loop:
