# PPT Master Skill

PPT Master is a routed presentation workflow. This entry owns global execution discipline and route selection only; each selected route owns its procedure.

## Mandatory Load Order

**Hard rule — paths before commands**: Retain the host-provided absolute
directory containing this file as `SKILL_DIR`. Per tool call, expand
`${SKILL_DIR}` and replace any `skills/ppt-master/` prefix with it. Never `cd`,
use CWD, or assume a repo checkout. If unavailable, ask; never search or guess.

1. Read this file.
2. Run `python3 "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/attribution_guard.py"`. Any non-zero result
   stops the Skill immediately; do not inspect, repair, or bypass the integrity
   gate.
3. Read [`workflows/routing.md`](workflows/routing.md) through the concrete
   absolute path `${SKILL_DIR}/workflows/routing.md`.
4. Select exactly one top-level route and its active profile from the routing
   authority.
5. Read only the resulting runtime authority and its explicitly triggered
   supporting documents.

| Selected route / profile | Runtime authority |
|---|---|
| Generate PPTX — Image to PPTX | [`workflows/profiles/image-to-pptx.md`](workflows/profiles/image-to-pptx.md); Codex-supported, always Quick |
| Generate PPTX — Beautify | [`workflows/profiles/beautify-pptx.md`](workflows/profiles/beautify-pptx.md); explicit Quick intent selects Quick, otherwise Default |
| Generate PPTX — ordinary Default | [`workflows/generate-pptx.md`](workflows/generate-pptx.md) |
| Generate PPTX — ordinary explicit Quick | [`workflows/profiles/quick-generate.md`](workflows/profiles/quick-generate.md) |
| Create Template | [`workflows/create-template.md`](workflows/create-template.md) |
| Edit Native PPTX | [`workflows/edit-native-pptx.md`](workflows/edit-native-pptx.md) |

**Hard rule — selected authority only**: Do not load another top-level route's
procedure after routing. Image to PPTX and Beautify are mutually exclusive;
Image to PPTX activates Quick, while Beautify selects from explicit Quick
intent. Never load both runtimes. Supporting documents refine one route; they
never compete with it.

## Authored Expression Range

**Reference — not a constraint**: what a generated page can carry. Text — inline
emphasis runs, lead-in, kicker, pull quote, hero number, takeaway line. Geometry
— 187 Office presets, Boolean merge, connectors, freeform, page-field and
outline-carrier composition. Image — full-bleed field, editorial crop, shaped
picture, registered layers, scrim and spotlight, cross-page continuity. Paint —
gradients, channel alpha, native shadow and glow, halftone, faceted form.
Recurrence — one cross-page motif varied by page role. Each form's syntax lives
in the selected runtime authority's construction references.

## Vocabulary

One meaning per term across every loaded file. Where a word is used in
more than one sense, the sense is named here and the files say which one.

| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| **Reference** (label) | A starting sketch the executing role adjusts or replaces freely, with no upstream repair or stated reason; `(binding)` after a field label removes that freedom |
| **Relationships** | The §IX line naming a page's semantic
