The assembly pipeline is real and works: with python-pptx and Pillow installed, assemble_ppt.py packed three 1920x1080 images into a valid 16:9 three-slide PPTX. The headline value, though, is AI-generated unified slide imagery, which needs an image backend (built-in image tool or a paid OpenAI-compatible key) that was unavailable here, so no delta versus a no-skill baseline could be measured. Well-engineered orchestration with approval gates, subagent dispatch and QA, and its API key only ever goes to the user-configured OpenAI or atlascloud endpoint.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 5/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Codex PPT does
Turns an article, report, paper or outline into a visually unified PowerPoint where every slide is a full 16:9 generated image, with approval gates, per-slide subagent dispatch, QA and a Python assembler. Requires an image-generation backend (a built-in image tool or an OpenAI-compatible/gpt-image API key). Use it for image-first decks, not when shapes must stay individually editable.

Generate a visually unified deck where each slide is a full-page image. -
Assemble these three generated slide images into a proper PPTX file.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Codex PPT skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from ningzimu/codex-ppt-skill. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Codex PPT work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 17, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. The assembly pipeline is real and works: with python-pptx and Pillow installed, assemble_ppt.py packed three 1920x1080 images into a valid 16:9 three-slide PPTX.

- What is the Codex PPT SkillProof Score?
- 8.0/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 5/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Codex PPT?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Codex PPT with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
