AI-generated overview

Guides selection and placement of icons, images, SVGs, diagrams and infographics in editable PowerPoint decks.

What it does: This skill provides instructions for choosing and placing supporting visual assets in an editable PPTX deck. It covers asset type selection, confirming local paths, source and usage rights, adding assets with a bounding box, z-index and classification, and preserving aspect ratio. It also sets rules for legible icons, captions, true SVG sources, native recreation of essential labels, and omitting assets when rights or provenance are unavailable.
When to use it: Use it when adding or reviewing supporting visuals in an editable PowerPoint deck, such as icons, images, SVGs, diagrams or infographics. It is meant for situations where the deck must stay editable and assets must have clear provenance and usage rights.
Requirements: No scripts are included; it is instructions only. It references a companion guidance document on licensing, placement and SVG constraints. It expects access to local asset paths and source or rights information, and states that secrets should not be requested in chat.

PPTX Visual Assets

Use visual assets to support a slide's message, never to flatten or replace editable content.

Select the asset type only when it improves comprehension: icon, image, SVG, diagram, or infographic.
Confirm the local asset path, source, usage rights, and concise alt text before placement.
Add the asset with a final inch bbox, deliberate z-index, and content or layout_design classification.
Preserve aspect ratio and check that no asset covers readable text or leaves essential information locked in an image.

Use simple, legible icons alongside text labels.
Place captions beside images rather than over them.
Use true SVG sources only when they are clean vectors; never wrap a raster image in SVG and call it editable.
Recreate essential labels, legends, values, and process steps with native PowerPoint objects.
If rights, provenance, or a suitable asset are unavailable, omit the asset and report the gap. Never add a placeholder as a finished visual.
Record provider or source details in the source manifest. Never request secrets in chat.
