## Editing Workflow

**Read `ppt-editing-skill` for full details.**

1. Analyze template with `markitdown`
2. Unpack → manipulate slides → edit content → clean → pack

## Creating from Scratch

**Use when no template or reference presentation is available.**

1. Search to understand user requirements
2. Use color-font-skill to select palette and fonts
3. Read ppt-orchestra-skill to design your PPT outline
4. Spawn subagents to create slide JS files (max 5 concurrent)
5. Compile all slide modules into final PPTX

### Subagent Types

- `table-of-contents-generator` - TOC slide
- `section-divider-generator` - Section transition
- `content-page-generator` - Content slides
- `summary-page-generator` - Summary/CTA slide
