import asyncio
from synthadoc.skills.pptx.scripts.main import PptxSkill

skill = PptxSkill()

async def main():
    result = await skill.extract("/path/to/slides.pptx")
    print(result.text)      # slide titles + body text + speaker notes
    print(result.metadata)  # {"slides": N}

asyncio.run(main())
```
