Hands On Deck

hands-on-deck — agent-native PPTX manipulation

One tool does everything: scripts/deck.py. You write a JSON patch describing your edits; deck.py validates and executes it atomically, then lints the result. You never need to open slide XML for routine work.

Golden rules (the tool enforces and repeats these):

• ALL slide indices are 0-based, everywhere. Shapes are addressed by stable native ids (s12) or unique shape name.
• Positions and sizes are inches from the slide's top-left.
• Patches are atomic: every op is pre-validated (all errors reported at once, with the slide's real shape listing), then applied all-or-nothing.

Full reference: python scripts/deck.py docs — prints every op with semantics and recipes; needs no file. Read it before writing your first patch.
