Before Building:
CRITICAL: You MUST create ONE slide at a time and get user approval before proceeding to the next slide.
For EACH slide:
soffice --headless --convert-to pdf presentation.pptx
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 -f 1 -l 1 presentation.pdf slide
YOU MUST CHECK FOR THESE SPECIFIC ISSUES ON EVERY PAGE:
The #1 goal is MAXIMUM information density. A busy executive should understand the entire company story in 30 seconds. Fill every quadrant to capacity.
Per quadrant targets:
Information packing techniques:
If a quadrant looks sparse, add more:
Line spacing - use single textbox per section:
def add_section(slide, x, y, w, header_text, bullets, header_size=10, bullet_size=8):
"""Header + bullets in single textbox with natural spacing"""
tb = slide.shapes.add_textbox(x, y, w, Inches(len(bullets) * 0.18 + 0.3))
tf = tb.text_frame
tf.word_wrap = True
# Header paragraph
p = tf.paragraphs[0]
p.text = header_text
p.font.bold = True
p.font.size = Pt(header_size)
p.font.color.rgb = RGBColor(0, 51, 102)
p.space_after = Pt(6) # Small gap after header
# Bullet paragraphs
for bullet in bullets:
p = tf.add_paragraph()
p.text = bullet
p.font.size = Pt(bullet_size)
p.space_after = Pt(3)
return tb
Key spacing principles:
space_after = Pt(6) after header, Pt(3) between bullets3-4 dense slides - use quadrants, columns, tables, charts
Bullets for ALL body text - NEVER paragraphs. Use ONE textbox per section with all bullets inside - do NOT create separate textboxes for each bullet point. Use PptxGenJS bullet formatting:
// CORRECT: Single textbox with bullet list - each array item becomes a bullet
// Position in top-left quadrant (Company Overview) - after header with accent bar
slide.addText(
[
{ text: 'Headquarters: Austin, Texas; Founded 2003', options: { bullet: { indent: 10 }, breakLine: true } },
{ text: 'Employees: 140,000+ globally across 6 continents', options: { bullet: { indent: 10 }, breakLine: true } },
{ text: 'CEO: Elon Musk; CFO: Vaibhav Taneja', options: { bullet: { indent: 10 }, breakLine: true } },
{ text: 'Market Cap: $850B (#6 globally by market cap)', options: { bullet: { indent: 10 }, breakLine: true } },
{ text: 'Segments: Automotive (85%), Energy (10%), Services (5%)', options: { bullet: { indent: 10 } } }
],
{ x: 0.45, y: 0.95, w: 4.5, h: 2.6, fontSize: 11, fontFace: 'Arial', valign: 'top', paraSpaceAfter: 6 }
);
// WRONG: Multiple separate textboxes for each bullet - causes alignment issues
// slide.addText('Headquarters: Austin', { x: 0.5, y: 1.0, bullet: true });
Bullet formatting tips:
bullet: { indent: 10 } - controls bullet indentation (smaller = tighter)paraSpaceAfter: 6 - space after each paragraph in pointsTitle case for titles (not ALL CAPS), left-aligned
Consistent fonts everywhere including tables
Company's brand colors - YOU MUST research actual brand colors via web search before creating slides. Do not guess or assume colors.
Follow brand guidelines if provided
See examples/Nike_Strip_Profile_Example.pptx for layout inspiration. Adapt colors to each company's brand.
Must pass "30-second comprehension test" for a busy executive.
Use 4:3 aspect ratio (standard IB pitch book format):
const pptx = new pptxgen();
pptx.layout = 'LAYOUT_4x3'; // 10" wide × 7.5" tall - MUST USE THIS
PptxGenJS uses inches. 4:3 slide = 10" wide × 7.5" tall.

Company Name (Ticker) - Example: Tesla, Inc. (TSLA)
slide.addText('Tesla, Inc. (TSLA)', { x: 0.3, y: 0.2, w: 9.4, h: 0.35, fontSize: 18, bold: true });
| Quadrant | Position | Content | |----------|----------|---------| | 1 | x=0.3, y=0.6, w=4.7, h=3.0 | Company Overview: HQ, founded, key stats, business summary (4-5 bullets) | | 2 | x=5.0, y=0.6, w=4.7, h=3.0 | Business & Positioning: revenue drivers, products/services, competitive position, growth drivers (4-5 bullets) | | 3 | x=0.3, y=3.7, w=4.7, h=3.5 | Key Financials: Revenue, EBITDA, margins, EPS, FCF + Valuation (Mkt Cap, EV, multiples) — table OR chart, not both | | 4 | x=5.0, y=3.7, w=4.7, h=3.5 | For public companies: 1Y stock price chart + top shareholders. For private: Recent developments or Ownership/M&A history |
| Element | Size | Notes | |---------|------|-------| | Slide title | 24pt | Bold, company brand color | | Quadrant headers | 14pt | Bold, with accent bar | | Body/bullet text | 11pt | Regular weight | | Table text | 10pt | Use 9pt for dense tables | | Chart labels | 9pt | Keep labels short | | Source/footer | 8pt | Bottom of slide |
CRITICAL: If text overflows, REDUCE font size by 1pt and re-render.
Each quadrant header MUST have a colored accent bar to the left:
// Add accent bar for quadrant header
slide.addShape(pptx.shapes.RECTANGLE, {
x: 0.3, y: 0.6, w: 0.08, h: 0.25,
fill: { color: 'E31937' } // Use company brand color
});
slide.addText('Company Overview', {
x: 0.45, y: 0.6, w: 4.5, h: 0.3, fontSize: 14, bold: true, fontFace: 'Arial'
});
Visual elements to include:
For multi-slide profiles: Include 2-3 actual PptxGenJS charts. Never use placeholder divs or static images.
For single-slide profiles: Use tables for financials (more space-efficient). Only add a chart if it replaces the table, not in addition to it.
| Data Type | Chart Type | |-----------|------------| | Revenue trends | Line or column (multi-year) | | Geographic breakdown | Horizontal bar | | Product mix | Pie with percentages | | Financial comparison | Column | | Stock price (1Y daily) | Line |
Horizontal Bar (fits in bottom-right quadrant for 4:3 slide):
slide.addChart(pptx.charts.BAR, [{
name: 'FY2024 Revenue by Region',
labels: ['North America', 'EMEA', 'China', 'APLA'],
values: [21.4, 13.6, 7.6, 6.7]

title: 'Revenue by Geography', titleFontSize: 12, titleBold: true
});
Pie Chart (fits in bottom-right quadrant for 4:3 slide):
slide.addChart(pptx.charts.PIE, [{

dataLabelFontSize: 11, catAxisLabelFontSize: 11, valAxisLabelFontSize: 11,

Always use native PptxGenJS tables or charts - NEVER plain text prose or HTML tables.
Use slide.addTable() for financial data (fits in bottom-left quadrant for 4:3 slide):
// Add header with accent bar first
slide.addShape(pptx.shapes.RECTANGLE, {

});
// Financial data table
slide.addTable([
[{ text: 'Metric', options: { bold: true, fill: '003366', color: 'FFFFFF' } },
{ text: 'FY24', options: { bold: true, fill: '003366', color: 'FFFFFF' } },

['EPS', '$3.42', '$3.75'],
['Market Cap', '$185B', '—'],
['EV/EBITDA', '12.5x', '11.7x']

fontFace: 'Arial', fontSize: 10,
border: { pt: 0.5, color: 'CCCCCC' },
valign: 'middle',
colW: [1.8, 1.25, 1.25] // Column widths
});
❌ Incorrect: Plain text like Note: FY2024 revenue growth +1.0%, Net Income $5.1B...
❌ Incorrect: HTML tables that don't convert properly to PowerPoint
For projections, use Bear/Base/Bull case scenarios in structured tables.
Note: Reference the PPTX skill for PowerPoint file creation.
testing
Performs quality control on single-cell RNA-seq data (.h5ad or .h5 files) using scverse best practices with MAD-based filtering and comprehensive visualizations. Use when users request QC analysis, filtering low-quality cells, assessing data quality, or following scverse/scanpy best practices for single-cell analysis.
tools
Deep learning for single-cell analysis using scvi-tools. This skill should be used when users need (1) data integration and batch correction with scVI/scANVI, (2) ATAC-seq analysis with PeakVI, (3) CITE-seq multi-modal analysis with totalVI, (4) multiome RNA+ATAC analysis with MultiVI, (5) spatial transcriptomics deconvolution with DestVI, (6) label transfer and reference mapping with scANVI/scArches, (7) RNA velocity with veloVI, or (8) any deep learning-based single-cell method. Triggers include mentions of scVI, scANVI, totalVI, PeakVI, MultiVI, DestVI, veloVI, sysVI, scArches, variational autoencoder, VAE, batch correction, data integration, multi-modal, CITE-seq, multiome, reference mapping, latent space.
testing
This skill should be used when scientists need help with research problem selection, project ideation, troubleshooting stuck projects, or strategic scientific decisions. Use this skill when users ask to pitch a new research idea, work through a project problem, evaluate project risks, plan research strategy, navigate decision trees, or get help choosing what scientific problem to work on. Typical requests include "I have an idea for a project", "I'm stuck on my research", "help me evaluate this project", "what should I work on", or "I need strategic advice about my research".
development
Run nf-core bioinformatics pipelines (rnaseq, sarek, atacseq) on sequencing data. Use when analyzing RNA-seq, WGS/WES, or ATAC-seq data—either local FASTQs or public datasets from GEO/SRA. Triggers on nf-core, Nextflow, FASTQ analysis, variant calling, gene expression, differential expression, GEO reanalysis, GSE/GSM/SRR accessions, or samplesheet creation.
