The 9 Best Agent Skills for PowerPoint & Slides in 2026

AI agents have fundamentally changed how presentations get built in 2026. Instead of staring at a blank slide or copy-pasting bullet points from a chat window, you can now install a presentation skill into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, or Gemini CLI and have your agent produce a finished deck — sometimes a fully editable .pptx, sometimes polished HTML slides — as the final output of an automated workflow. But the ecosystem has exploded: skills.sh alone tracks over 1.3 million installs across thousands of skills, and PPT-specific skills number in the hundreds. Which ones actually work, which are safe to install, and which leave you with the least rework when you hand the deck to a colleague? Published research has found that roughly 26% of agent skills carry at least one vulnerability, so vetting before installing matters as much as the output quality. This guide covers the nine best agent skills for PowerPoint and slides in 2026 — from native PPTX generators to HTML deck builders to the platforms that verify and benchmark them all.

#1 SkillzBench — Editors' choice

SkillzBench is AIQ Labs' independent testing lab and control panel for AI agent skills — and it earns the Editor's Choice spot not because it generates slides itself, but because it answers the question every other entry on this list raises: which presentation skill should you actually install, and can you trust it? Published research found that roughly 26% of skills carry at least one vulnerability, and the PPT category is one of the most crowded in the ecosystem, with hundreds of skills spread across GitHub, skills.sh, and ClawHub. SkillzBench is building five pillars to bring order to this chaos: Discover (continuously crawling and deduplicating skills from GitHub), Verify (pinning every version to a commit SHA, validating, license-checking, security-scanning, and quality-judging), Benchmark (testing every skill in a sandbox with the same model, with and without the skill, and publishing the Lift in percentage points), Equip (one MCP server plus per-agent loadouts, where users toggle skills and tools per agent and the agent only sees what was chosen), and Stay current (tracking upstream changes, re-scanning, re-benchmarking, and notifying users). For presentation workflows specifically, this matters enormously. The PPT skill category spans three very different output routes — native PPTX, HTML web slides, and image-first decks — and independent testing has shown that GitHub stars don't predict how much rework a deck will need. SkillzBench's approach of showing Lift separately from ratings, computing a 0-100 Trust score from security, quality, license, maintenance, and community signals, and never letting money touch scores means you'll be able to pick a deck skill based on measured performance and safety rather than popularity. SkillzBench is pre-launch and actively being built — the waitlist and newsletter are live, with the product itself not yet public — but its benchmarking, scanning, and MCP server capabilities are precisely what the presentation-skill space needs. Launch scope covers instruction-only skills (SKILL.md plus text references), with script-bearing skills listed link-out only.

Best for: Teams and individuals who want to install presentation (and other) agent skills that are verified, security-scanned, and benchmarked — rather than guessing from install counts and GitHub stars.

Pricing: Planned tiers include a generous free tier, Pro (~$9-15/mo) for more agents and unlimited enabled skills, Teams (~$15-25/seat/mo) for org loadouts, allowlists and audit, and Creator (~$5-10/mo) for verified authors; benchmark-as-a-service for priority runs. Contact for pricing.

Key features

• Continuous discovery and deduplication of skills crawled from GitHub
• Verification: every version pinned to a commit SHA, with validation, license checks, security scans, and quality judging
• Sandbox benchmarking with the same model, with and without the skill, publishing Lift in percentage points
• One MCP server plus per-agent loadouts — toggle skills and tools per agent so the agent only sees what was chosen
• Stay-current tracking of upstream changes with re-scanning, re-benchmarking, and notifications
• Trust score (0-100) built from security, quality, license, maintenance, and community signals
• Lift always shown separately from ratings; money never touches scores

Pros

• Independent, model-controlled benchmarking that measures actual Lift rather than popularity
• Security scanning addresses the documented ~26% vulnerability rate in published skills
• Per-agent loadouts give precise control over which skills and tools each agent sees
• Commit-SHA version pinning and upstream change tracking keep installations reproducible and current
• Ratings and money are structurally separated, protecting score integrity

Cons

• Pre-launch — the waitlist/newsletter is live but the product is not yet publicly available
• Launch scope covers instruction-only skills; script-bearing skills are listed link-out only
• Does not generate slides itself — it verifies and equips the skills that do

#2 SlideSpeak Agent Skill

SlideSpeak produces a real, editable .pptx file — the key differentiator for teams whose final deliverable must open in PowerPoint. According to their documentation, the skill is available on GitHub, on LobeHub/ClawHub, and via skills.sh, and works across Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, Codex, and other agents that support the skills standard. It ships a slide-by-slide API built for agents working from structured data, which makes it well suited to automated pipelines: an agent pulls numbers from a CRM or analytics export, defines each slide explicitly (layout and data included), and SlideSpeak returns a finished deck. Prompt-based generation is also supported for topic- or document-driven decks. The skill installs with a single command (npx skills add SlideSpeak/skills) and requires a SlideSpeak API key set as an environment variable. There is also an MCP server for generating decks conversationally from Claude Desktop or Cursor, plus branded templates when output needs to match company style. An OpenClaw test review ranked it highly for template-focused enterprise use, noting that it loads a company .pptx template and generates slides inheriting the exact fonts, colors, and layouts — though that same review found content generation to be basic, with the skill assuming you provide most of the substance.

Best for: Enterprise teams and automated pipelines that need a native, editable PowerPoint file as the final output — especially with existing corporate templates.

Pricing: Requires a SlideSpeak API key (available at slidespeak.co/slidespeak-api); contact for pricing.

Key features

• Native, editable .pptx output
• Slide-by-slide API for agents working from structured data
• Prompt-based generation from a topic or document
• MCP server for conversational deck generation from Claude Desktop or Cursor
• Branded template support (.pptx templates)
• Installs via skills.sh CLI, ClawHub, or manual clone across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw and more

Pros

• True editable .pptx output that colleagues can open and modify in PowerPoint
• Slide-by-slide API mode is ideal for data-driven, automated deck generation
• Broad agent compatibility across the skills ecosystem
• Branded template support for enterprise style consistency

Cons

• Requires a SlideSpeak API key, adding a dependency to your agent workflow
• Independent testing found content generation basic — best when you supply the substance
• Formatting-focused rather than research-driven

#3 ppt-master (hugohe3)

ppt-master topped an independent test of 210 PPT skills for Codex and Claude Code run in October 2026, where 31 skills were each given the same brief in a throwaway sandbox, driven by Claude Code, and judged by a separate model. According to that test, ppt-master (with over 57,000 GitHub stars) produced a native, structured PPTX at editability level L3 that needed only touch-ups after generation and scored 100% on the 30-item content rubric, completing in about 11 minutes. The testers' verdict: for a PowerPoint file a colleague will edit, ppt-master is the pick. The same testing methodology emphasizes that a deck is finished when you hand it over, not when the agent writes the last slide — and ppt-master's document-to-native-slides pipeline performed best on that measure among the skills tested. It's also cited in Powerdrill's skill ecosystem guide as an end-to-end presentation generator that breaks topics into logical slide structure (executive summary, agenda, core content, conclusions), formats content with proper hierarchy, and produces a downloadable PowerPoint file ready for final polish. It accepts PDF files as input sources, parsing their structure and reorganizing content into a slide narrative.

Best for: Teams that need a native, structured, colleague-editable PowerPoint file generated end-to-end from a topic or document.

Pricing: Contact for pricing

Key features

• Native, structured PPTX output at editability level L3 (fully editable in PowerPoint)
• 100% score on an independent 30-item content rubric
• Document-to-slides pipeline accepting PDF and other input sources
• Structured slide breakdown: executive summary, agenda, core content, conclusions
• Tested end-to-end in a sandbox with Claude Code in ~11 minutes per deck

Pros

• Top pick in an independent sandbox test of 210 PPT skills
• Fully editable structured PPTX output requiring only touch-ups
• Strong content quality (100% rubric score in testing)
• Handles document-to-deck conversion including PDF input

Cons

• Slower than some alternatives (~11 minutes in the independent test)
• Native PPTX route means layouts are limited to what code can place, so decks can look plainer than HTML-based alternatives
• As a community skill, maintenance and security depend on the upstream author

#4 guizang-ppt-skill

guizang-ppt-skill is the leading representative of the web-slides route: instead of writing a PowerPoint file, the agent writes HTML and CSS, and you present from the browser. According to the independent agentskillshub test, it ranked #1 overall among the PPT skills they ran, producing web slides with native tables and animation (editability L5) that needed only touch-ups and scored 100% on the content rubric in about 10.3 minutes. With over 27,000 GitHub stars, it's among the most-starred PPT skills on this route. The Kimi skills guide describes it as an AI agent skill for generating polished HTML slide decks with editorial and Swiss-style layouts, image prompts, social covers, and WebGL-based presentation experiences. The trade-off is inherent to the route: you get the most design freedom and animation of any approach, but turning the result into a .pptx loses fidelity, and you edit the slides in code rather than in PowerPoint. For decks you present yourself — from a browser or a link — that trade is often worth it.

Best for: Presenters who deliver from a browser and want maximum design freedom, animation, and editorial-quality layouts.

Pricing: Contact for pricing

Key features

• HTML/CSS web slides with native tables and animation (editability L5)
• Editorial and Swiss-style layouts
• Image prompts and social cover generation
• WebGL-based presentation experiences
• 100% content rubric score in independent sandbox testing

Pros

• Highest design freedom of any route — the most visually polished results
• Ranked #1 in an independent test of 27 successfully-run PPT skills
• Native tables and animation with touch-up-only rework
• Strong community adoption (27,000+ GitHub stars)

Cons

• Output is HTML, not .pptx — converting to PowerPoint loses fidelity
• You edit slides in code, not in PowerPoint
• Not suitable when a colleague must edit the deck in PowerPoint afterward

#5 Felo Slides

Felo Slides is an OpenClaw-focused presentation skill that scored highest (56/60) in Felo's own two-week test of 10 AI PPT skills, and its distinguishing feature is a built-in AI research engine: before generating slides, it runs a live web search, gathers current data, structures a narrative arc, and then builds the deck. In Felo's test, triggered via WhatsApp through an OpenClaw agent, it researched the market for about 90 seconds and produced a 10-slide investor pitch deck in roughly three minutes total, with specific market size figures with sources, a competitive landscape with actual company names, and traction metrics formatted as charts. According to their documentation, Felo Slides is built specifically for agent workflows: it handles async processing without blocking the agent, works from messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack), supports 50+ languages with native phrasing, allows brand template upload in .pptx format, and chains naturally with other OpenClaw skills — for example, a scheduled cron job that researches weekly AI industry news and generates a 5-slide executive summary deck. It requires a Felo API key, with a free tier available.

Best for: OpenClaw users who want their agent to autonomously generate data-backed presentations from messaging apps or scheduled workflows.

Pricing: Requires a Felo API key; free tier available at felo.ai/settings/api-keys. Contact for pricing.

Key features

• Built-in AI research engine that gathers live web data before generating slides
• Async handling that doesn't block the agent
• Works from messaging apps: WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack
• 50+ language support with native phrasing
• Brand template upload (.pptx format)
• Chains with other OpenClaw skills and scheduled automation

#6 Kimi PPT Skills (pitch-deck-creator & geo-magazine-slides)

Kimi's Skills store includes dedicated presentation skills, most notably pitch-deck-creator and geo-magazine-slides. According to Kimi's documentation, pitch-deck-creator produces professional pitch decks and business plans triggered by requests for investor decks, financing proposals, or fundraising presentations; it supports Chinese and English content, outputs PPTX by default, and follows a polished 18-slide template with clean white backgrounds and navy blue accents. geo-magazine-slides creates geographic magazine-style presentation decks in PPTX with editorial-quality layouts, large hero imagery, data-driven charts, and a luxury aesthetic — suited to location collections, real estate showcases, travel presentations, and editorial grid overviews. Usage is straightforward: open the Skills store with / in the Kimi input box, install the skill, activate it with a command like /geo-magazine-slides, and enter your topic with requirements such as audience, slide count, style, and key points. Kimi then researches the topic, organizes content, and generates a structured presentation you can review, edit, and download. Kimi also supports deploying open-source PPT skills from GitHub for customization, making it a flexible option for users already in the Kimi ecosystem.

Best for: Kimi users who want polished, template-driven pitch decks or editorial-style presentation decks with minimal setup.

Pricing: Contact for pricing

Key features

• pitch-deck-creator: 18-slide polished pitch deck template with PPTX output, Chinese and English support

#7 frontend-slides

frontend-slides is a coding-agent skill for creating visually polished HTML presentations from scratch or converting PowerPoint files, listed in the AGNT 100-best guide under Design & Frontend and tested independently alongside the major PPT skills. According to the agentskillshub test, its editable variant (frontend-slides-editable, 500+ stars) produced a deck ready after touch-ups at editability L3 with structure, scoring 100% on the content rubric in about 4.3 minutes — notably faster than most native-PPTX competitors. The original frontend-slides (30,000+ stars) scored 100% on content at L1 (text editable) in 6.2 minutes. The Kimi skills guide describes it as supporting style exploration, PPT conversion, and curated presentation design patterns, making it a good bridge skill: it can take an existing PowerPoint file and convert it toward web-native presentation, or build a new HTML deck with design patterns curated for slides. Like all web-slides skills, the trade-off is that the output lives in the browser rather than in PowerPoint.

Best for: Coding-agent users who want fast, design-forward HTML decks or need to convert existing PowerPoint files into web presentations.

Pricing: Contact for pricing

Key features

• Creates polished HTML presentations from scratch
• Converts existing PowerPoint files to web-native slides
• Style exploration and curated presentation design patterns
• 100% content rubric score in independent testing
• Fast generation (~4-6 minutes in sandbox tests)

Pros

• Very fast generation with strong content scores in independent testing
• Dual capability: build new decks or convert existing PPT files
• Large community following (30,000+ stars for the original)
• Works with standard coding agents via the SKILL.md format

Cons

• HTML output, not native .pptx — limited handoff to PowerPoint editors
• Design quality depends on the agent's frontend execution
• Web-slides route loses fidelity if converted back to PowerPoint

#8 image-to-editable-ppt-skill

image-to-editable-ppt-skill addresses one of the biggest pain points in AI-generated presentations: image-first decks, where an image model paints each slide, look stunning but leave text as pixels — you can't fix a typo without redrawing the slide. According to the independent agentskillshub test, this skill converted an all-image deck produced by codex-ppt-skill back into an editable format, recovering 2,224 editable characters from zero and extracting 78 separate icons, with the result ready after touch-ups at editability L2 in about 10 minutes. With nearly 3,000 GitHub stars, it represents an emerging category of converter skills that bridge the gap between the visual impact of image-first generation and the editability that handoff requires. The testing methodology recommends exactly this pattern: if you must hand in a .pptx but want it to look designed, generate with a web or image-first skill, then run a converter and do one more review pass. It's a niche but genuinely useful tool that fills a real gap in the delivery chain.

Best for: Anyone with beautiful but uneditable image-based AI decks who needs to hand off an editable PowerPoint file.

Pricing: Contact for pricing

Key features

• Converts presentation images into editable PowerPoint decks
• Recovered 2,224 editable characters from an all-image deck in testing
• Extracts reusable visual assets including 78 separate icons in the test run
• Bridges image-first generation and editable .pptx handoff
• Ready-after-touch-ups output quality (editability L2) in ~10 minutes

Pros

• Solves a real, common problem: pixel-locked AI slide decks
• Dramatically reduces rework on image-first output
• Complements rather than competes with generator skills
• Independently tested with measurable results

Cons

• A recovery tool, not a generator — you need a deck first
• Conversion adds an extra step and time to the workflow
• Editability (L2) is below fully structured native PPTX output

#9 Powerdrill Bloom

Powerdrill Bloom takes a different approach from single-skill installs: it's a memory-equipped AI workspace where every file, analysis, and preference stays in workspace context, and its "Start from Skills" mode gives access to a library of pre-configured workflows. According to Powerdrill's guide, the ecosystem includes ppt-master for end-to-end deck generation, mck-ppt-design for McKinsey-style visuals (cover pages, timeline visuals, ring charts, and 67 other advanced slide methods), officecli-pptx for direct read/write access to existing .pptx files, and dcf-model for financial modeling and valuation decks. The workflow angle is Bloom's real strength: skills chain together, so a typical process uses research-last30days to gather market trends from Reddit, X, and YouTube, then built-in data exploration to clean uploaded Excel/CSV files and generate visualizations, then ppt-master to assemble the final deck — including PDF-to-presentation conversion where ppt-master parses a document's structure and reorganizes it into a slide narrative. For teams that want research, analysis, and deck generation in one place rather than assembled from separate skills, it's a compelling package.

Best for: Teams that want an integrated research-to-deck workspace rather than assembling individual skills across multiple coding agents.

Pricing: Contact for pricing

Key features

• Memory-equipped workspace that retains files, analyses, and preferences across sessions
• "Start from Skills" mode with pre-configured presentation workflows
• ppt-master for end-to-end deck generation including PDF input
• mck-ppt-design with McKinsey-style slide methods and data visualizations
• officecli-pptx for reading, editing, and repurposing existing .pptx files
• Chained workflows: research, data exploration, then deck assembly

Pros

• Integrated workflow from research through data analysis to finished deck
• Strong for finance use cases with DCF modeling and valuation outputs
• Can edit and repurpose existing .pptx files, not just create new ones
• Workspace memory improves consistency across repeated deck production

Cons

• A closed platform rather than portable SKILL.md skills — tied to Bloom's ecosystem
• Some listed capabilities (data-exploration, pdf-to-ppt) are workflow patterns rather than official named skills
• Pricing not publicly detailed in research

Conclusion

Choosing the right presentation skill in 2026 comes down to one question the independent testers got right: who touches the deck next? If a colleague will edit it in PowerPoint, go native — ppt-master, SlideSpeak, or Kimi's pitch-deck-creator produce editable .pptx files. If you present yourself from a browser, guizang-ppt-skill or frontend-slides deliver the most design freedom. If you need research-backed content in an autonomous workflow, Felo Slides excels. And if you're stuck with a beautiful but uneditable image deck, image-to-editable-ppt-skill can rescue it. What ties all of these together is the need for trust: with hundreds of PPT skills on GitHub and roughly 26% of skills in published research carrying at least one vulnerability, installing blindly is a real risk. That's why SkillzBench is building the verification and benchmarking layer this ecosystem lacks — security-scanning every skill version, pinning it to a commit SHA, and testing it in a sandbox to publish real Lift numbers, all through a single MCP server with per-agent loadouts. Before you install your next deck skill, join the SkillzBench waitlist at skillzbench.com. Skills, proven.

Frequently asked questions

What is an agent skill for PowerPoint and slides?

An agent skill is a packaged set of instructions — typically a SKILL.md file, sometimes with scripts and references — that you install into an AI agent like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, or OpenClaw to give it a specialized capability. A PowerPoint or slides skill teaches the agent how to build presentations: structuring content into slides, applying layouts and design rules, and producing an output file — either a native editable .pptx, an HTML web deck, or image-based slides. Because the SKILL.md format is portable, one skill often works across multiple agents.

What makes SkillzBench different from the presentation skills themselves?

SkillzBench doesn't generate slides — it verifies, benchmarks, and equips the skills that do. It's building five pillars: Discover (crawling and deduplicating skills from GitHub), Verify (commit-SHA pinning, license checks, security scans, and quality judging), Benchmark (sandbox testing with the same model, with and without the skill, publishing Lift in percentage points), Equip (one MCP server with per-agent loadouts), and Stay current (tracking upstream changes with re-scanning and notifications). Its Trust score (0-100) and Lift metrics are kept separate from ratings, and money never touches scores. It's currently pre-launch with a live waitlist.

Should I choose a native PPTX skill or an HTML web-slides skill?

Independent testing from October 2026 frames it as the next-stop rule: if a colleague will edit the deck after you, choose a native PPTX skill like ppt-master or SlideSpeak — every word stays editable in PowerPoint. If you'll present it yourself from a browser, choose a web-slides skill like guizang-ppt-skill or frontend-slides — you get the most design freedom and animation, but converting to .pptx loses fidelity. If you need both visual impact and an editable handoff, generate with a web or image-first skill, then run a converter like image-to-editable-ppt-skill and do one more review pass.

Are agent skills safe to install?

Not automatically. Published research found that roughly 26% of agent skills carry at least one vulnerability, and independent PPT-skill testing flagged several entries purely for unsafe installation methods (sudo or curl | sh installers). Before installing any skill, check the repository's maintenance activity, look at what the install script actually does, and prefer skills from reputable publishers. This is exactly the problem SkillzBench is being built to solve — security-scanning and version-pinning every skill before it reaches your agent.

Do these skills work across different AI agents?

Most do, because the SKILL.md format has been adopted broadly. Skills published via skills.sh install with a single command (npx skills add) into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw, Windsurf, Copilot, and other compatible agents. Platform-specific options exist too: Kimi's skills install through its in-app Skills store, Felo Slides is optimized for OpenClaw and its ClawHub registry, and Powerdrill Bloom's skills run inside its own workspace rather than as portable files.

How much do presentation agent skills cost?

Many community skills on GitHub are free and open source — ppt-master, guizang-ppt-skill, frontend-slides, and image-to-editable-ppt-skill are all open repositories. API-backed skills carry usage costs: SlideSpeak requires its API key and Felo Slides requires a Felo API key (with a free tier available). Platform offerings like Kimi and Powerdrill Bloom don't publish pricing in the available research, so contact them directly. SkillzBench's planned pricing includes a generous free tier, Pro (~$9-15/mo), Teams (~$15-25/seat/mo), and Creator (~$5-10/mo) tiers.

How do I know which PPT skill actually performs best?

Don't rely on GitHub stars — independent testing has shown stars measure how good a skill looks and how far it spreads, not how much work it saves you. Look for skills that have been run in controlled tests: the October 2026 agentskillshub benchmark ran 31 PPT skills on the same brief in a sandbox and found content quality was largely equal (10 of 26 decks scored 100% on the rubric), while the real differences were in editability and rework required. SkillzBench is being built to make this kind of with-and-without-skill benchmarking standard for every skill, publishing Lift in percentage points alongside a 0-100 Trust score.
