AI Agents Can Now Build Chinese Boardroom Decks Without Ruining the Layout

What it does

The project is a Python-based “skill” that treats PowerPoint templates as immutable layouts. You pick one of 17 hand-polished Chinese templates, describe text changes in an edits.json file, and the python-pptx scripts rebuild a real .pptx with the original formatting intact. It targets the visual grammar of Chinese business presentations—dense information, complex diagrams, and the specific polish expected by state-owned enterprises and big tech firms.

The interesting bit

Instead of letting an LLM generate a whole slide deck from scratch—which usually produces bland, broken layouts—this constrains the AI to a text-replacement role. The templates themselves are the product; the code is essentially a careful secretary that swaps text without touching fonts, colors, or positioning. The author even claims the skill auto-updates when new templates are released, treating template delivery like software patches.

Key highlights

• 17 hand-polished Chinese PPTX templates covering both “luxury complex” and minimal business styles.
• Strictly non-destructive editing: the AI edits text via JSON, the layout stays untouched.
• Explicitly tested against DeepSeek, Xiaomi Mimo, Claude, and GPT.
• Auto-update mechanism pulls new templates or skill versions automatically.
• Heavy reliance on 微软雅黑 (Microsoft YaHei) with documented font fallbacks for Linux and macOS.

Caveats

• The repository explicitly disclaims copyright on the templates and bans commercial use or redistribution.
• Custom corporate templates require contacting the author on WeChat; there is no self-service template authoring workflow documented.
• Font rendering depends on system-level Chinese font installation; without it, your “boardroom deck” may default to something less impressive.

Verdict

Worth a look if you are building Chinese-language AI agents that need to output polished, template-bound slide decks. Skip it if you need legally clean commercial templates or want the AI to design layouts rather than fill them in.
