# Food Ppt

Food Ppt turns food and nutrition reports, briefs, or manuscripts into fully editable PowerPoint decks. It builds native text, tables, and movable figures in .pptx format for presentations, journal clubs, or conference talks.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/PangenomeAI/academic-skills-food-nutrition/tree/main/food-ppt ~/.claude/skills/food-ppt
```

## README

# Food-Ppt — Editable Presentations from Food & Nutrition Reports

Turn a **review report, evidence brief, or manuscript** into a **fully editable
`.pptx`** — every title, bullet, table, and figure is a **native PowerPoint object the
author can edit**, never a flattened image. Original work; the schema→builder→QA
architecture and design sensibility are informed by the open-source (MIT) `ppt-master`,
`GordenPPTSkill`, and `codex-ppt-skill` skills and the `taste-skill` and
`ui-ux-pro-max-skill` design guides (see the repo README Acknowledgements). No
third-party templates are bundled.

## What it converts
The outputs of the suite's other skills, or any report/paper the user supplies:
- **`food-review`** panel report / Review & Response Report → a review-findings deck.
- **`food-research` / `food-deep-research`** evidence brief or literature review → a
  synthesis deck.
- **`food-paper`** manuscript (or sections) → a paper-presentation / journal-club deck.
- **`food-pipeline`** — offered at FINALIZE to package the finished work as slides.

## Required content for a proposal / paper deck
- **Experimental-design flow diagram** — a **`flow`** slide near the front, built from
  **`food-figure`**'s blueprint (`experimental-flow.md`) and rendered as **native,
  movable PowerPoint shapes** (one box per step, one arrow per transition — never a
  flattened image), so the audience grasps the design at a glance. **Mandatory** for
  any deck from a research proposal or research paper.
- **Results slides illustrate the result** — each is a **`result`** slide: a
  **figure** (from `food-figure`, theme-matched) where feasible, or a **scientific
  table** when the numbers are the point, **plus a Key findings** panel of takeaways.
- **Big numbers and parallel facts get their own design** — a single striking figure
  goes on a **`metric`** big-number hero; a set of parallel facts (objectives,
  contributions, study parameters, KPIs) goes on a **`cards`** accent-bar grid, not a
  bullet list (`references/slide-design.md`).
- **Executive summary** — a closing summary slide is **required** in every deck.
- **Theme-matched figures** — figures use the deck theme's palette so they match the
  slides.

## Editable-first (non-negotiable) — `references/editability-and-qa.md`
Build with **python-pptx** so the deck is genuinely editable: **real text frames**
for titles/bullets, **native tables** (editable cells) for data, and figures placed as
**movable/resizable picture objects**. **Never** render a slide to a background image,
never bake text into a picture, never deliver a PDF in place of a `.pptx`. If a figure
exists only as a raster, embed it as a picture object (still movable/replaceable) and
say so; prefer a vector/redrawable source where available.

## Subagents (dispatch via the Agent tool)
1. **`ppt_coordinator`** — takes the source report/manuscript + audience/length, runs the flow, returns the `.pptx` + a slide-by-slide summary.
2. **`outline_planner`** — reads the source and builds the **slide outline** (`references/source-to-slides.md`): one idea per slide, a clear narrative arc, target slide count for the audience.
3. **`slide_writer`** — writes concise, **grounded** slide text (bullets ≤ ~1 line each), speaker notes carrying the detail; every claim/number traces to the source — no new facts, no invented data.
4. **`figure_placer`** — selects figures/tables from the source (or calls **`food-figure`**) and maps them to slides as editable picture objects / native tables.
5. **`deck_builder`** — assembles the **deck-spec JSON** (`references/deck-spec.md`) and runs **`python3 scripts/build_pptx.py <spec>.json --out <deck>.pptx`**.
6. **`deck_qa`** — verifies editability, checks text overflow / slide density, and confirms every slide's content is faithful to the source (`references/editability-and-qa.md`).

## Templates & design (`references/templates.md`, `references/slide-design.md`)
**Pick one of 17 editable themes** — slate (default) · sage · burgundy · teal · graphite
· ocean · terracotta · forest · consulting · dashboard · azure · geometric · indigo ·
scholar · claret · apricot · **midnight** (a dark theme) — with the deck-spec `"theme"`
field (catalog: `templates/INDEX.md`; preview: `templates/theme-previews.svg`). Most
recreate the look of the open-source `GordenPPTSkill` gallery (in English) as original
theme definitions; `midnight` recreates a Grok-generated dark deck. **`ppt_coordinator`
auto-picks a theme from the deck's text via `scripts/suggest_theme.py` and offers the
top few as options** for the user to choose. A theme is a palette +
type + layout style (cover brand bar + side panel, full-bleed section dividers, accent
edge stripe, underlined titles, big-number heroes, accent-bar cards, footer + slide
numbers, styled tables) applied as **editable shapes** — no bundled template files,
nothing flattened. `ppt_coordinator` chooses the theme from topic/audience or asks.
Restrained academic look informed by `taste-skill` and `ui-ux-pro-max-skill`: a real
type scale (strong size + weight contrast), one accent + ink/greys, whitespace, one idea
per slide, and layout variety — never the templated "AI deck" look.

## Grounding & privacy (inherited)
Slides are **only** as true as the source — never add a finding, number, or citation
that isn't in it (`food-paper/references/faithfulness-and-citation.md`). Apply the
academic-style + `human-writing.md` pairing to slide prose. Run
`scripts/privacy_scan.py` on the deliverable; keep the mandatory **AI-use disclosure**
on a closing slide when the deck presents AI-assisted work.

## Requirements
`python-pptx` (`pip install python-pptx`). Figures come from the source or `food-figure`.
