Create Stunning Presentations with ChatGPT Skills: Presenton for ChatGPT and Codex
Create stunning presentations with ChatGPT Skills and Codex Skills using a workflow that moves from a design brief to editable PPTX, PDF, and PNG files. Presenton helps you turn a prompt, document, or structured brief into a polished deck with preview and download links.
What the Presenton Skill does
The Presenton Skill for AI agents gives compatible agents a repeatable way to create finished presentations instead of stopping at a text outline. It is designed for presentation, PowerPoint, slide deck, pitch deck, report deck, PDF, and PNG-slide requests.
The workflow identifies the title, audience, purpose, source material, slide count, and requested formats. It then follows a visual direction, creates a structured slide system, validates the layout and fonts, exports the requested files, and returns usable download URLs plus a shareable preview.
That matters because a presentation is more than a sequence of paragraphs. The result needs a clear story, readable design, editable output, reliable exports, and a review path that a person can trust.
Important links to get started
Use these official resources before creating your first deck:
- Official Presenton Skill guide — installation, workflow, supported agents, export formats, prompting guidance, and FAQs.
- Presenton ChatGPT Skill — open the Skill and ask ChatGPT to create a complete presentation with preview and download links.
- Presenton Skills on GitHub — review the open-source Skill instructions and installation source.
- Presenton — learn more about Presenton’s presentation creation and export workflow.
If a link does not open inside your current client, open it in a browser where you are signed in, or copy the URL into a new tab.
Install the Presenton Skill once
For Codex and other compatible Agent Skills clients, use the installation command shown on the official page:
npx skills add https://github.com/presenton/skills --skill presentonThen review the current Skill source and permissions before using it in a real workflow. The canonical source is the public presenton/skills repository.
How to use Presenton with OpenClaw
OpenClaw is another agent environment supported by the Presenton Skill. In an OpenClaw terminal, install the Skill with:
openclaw skills install @presenton/presenton- Install it once. Run the command from the OpenClaw environment where you want to create presentations.
- Start a new OpenClaw task. Give it the audience, purpose, slide count, source files, visual direction, and requested output formats.
- Ask it to use Presenton. Start the request with
@presentonso the presentation workflow is explicit. - Review the returned files. Check the PPTX, PDF, PNG slides, preview link, facts, images, and final layout before sharing.
Example OpenClaw request
@presenton Create an 8-slide team strategy deck from the approved notes in this project. Audience: department leads. Focus on the strategy, priorities, owners, timeline, risks, and next actions. Use a clean Presenton-style layout with a light background and purple accent. Export an editable PPTX and PDF, then return the preview and download links.Installation gives the agent the workflow instructions. It does not replace your normal review of data access, source permissions, model-provider settings, or the final presentation.
Use the Presenton Skill in ChatGPT
You can open the Presenton ChatGPT Skill and ask for a complete deck in natural language. ChatGPT is especially useful when you are still shaping the story, clarifying the audience, comparing visual directions, or turning a document into a presentation plan.
What to include in your request
- Presentation title and audience
- Purpose, decision, or action the deck should support
- Approximate slide count and required sections
- Source documents, notes, data, or links
- Brand, visual, or layout preferences
- Requested output formats: PPTX, PDF, PNG, or all three
- Whether you need a shareable preview and download links
A strong ChatGPT request describes the outcome and constraints. The Skill handles the production mechanics, so you do not need to dictate every implementation step.
Example ChatGPT prompt
@presenton Create a 10-slide investor update for our leadership team. Use the attached quarterly notes as the source. Make the narrative decision-ready: show performance, risks, causes, and next actions. Use a restrained editorial style with navy, cream, and one bright accent. Keep each slide focused on one message. Export an editable PPTX, PDF, and PNG slides, and return the shareable preview and download links.Use the Presenton Skill in Codex
Codex is a natural fit when presentation generation belongs inside a project, repository, terminal workflow, or repeatable content pipeline. You can keep a deck brief near the source data, templates, prompts, and validation rules that govern the work.
Good Codex use cases
- Regenerate a weekly or monthly operating review from structured metrics.
- Create a recurring customer QBR from approved CRM fields and account notes.
- Turn release notes and product data into an internal launch deck.
- Build research summaries from a versioned evidence package.
- Generate multiple regional or audience-specific variants from one approved structure.
Example Codex request
@presenton Create a 12-slide product launch deck from the files in this project. Audience: sales and customer success. Use the approved brand brief and the current product-release notes as sources. Include the launch narrative, customer problem, product changes, proof points, objections, rollout plan, and next steps. Export PPTX, PDF, and PNG. Validate slide overflow, fonts, image URLs, and editable output before returning links.For recurring generation, make the input contract explicit: identify the authoritative files, reporting period, template version, owner, output location, and approval state. Codex can make a process repeatable, but a named person should still approve the story and final release.
How to write a presentation brief that produces better results
The quality of the result depends heavily on the quality of the brief. Start with the audience’s context rather than a generic topic. “Create slides about our product” is vague; “help a CFO decide whether to approve the rollout” gives the agent a useful job.
| Brief element | Useful guidance |
|---|---|
| Audience | Who will view the deck, what do they already know, and what objections will they bring? |
| Outcome | What decision, approval, behavior, or next step should follow? |
| Evidence | Which documents, metrics, customer facts, citations, and dates are authoritative? |
| Structure | Which sections are required, and which questions must the deck answer? |
| Design | What palette, typography, density, image treatment, and brand rules should guide the slides? |
| Delivery | Who needs PPTX, PDF, PNG, speaker notes, a preview, or download links? |
If you do not have a visual brief, the Skill can search Presenton designs and select a direction. If you do have a strong brand or layout brief, state it directly so that the design intent takes priority.
From one prompt to presentation files
1. Understand the request
The agent resolves the title, audience, purpose, slide count, source material, and formats. Correct missing assumptions before the deck is built.
2. Resolve the design
Give a concrete design direction when possible. Otherwise, let the Skill search Presenton designs for an appropriate visual system. The selected palette, typography, spacing, and shape language should remain consistent across the deck.
3. Resolve images and icons
Use approved image URLs and suitable icon assets. Keep visual assets tied to a communication job: a hero image establishes context, a chart shows evidence, and a diagram explains relationships. Avoid decorative assets that compete with the message.
4. Build structured slides
The published workflow creates 1280×720 HTML slides with editable HTML text. This makes the source inspectable and helps keep typography, spacing, and layout behavior predictable before export.
5. Validate before export
Check direct slide structure, overflow, fonts, missing assets, image URLs, and any invalid embedded data. A preflight step is valuable because layout issues are easier to fix before files are exported.
6. Export every requested format
Each requested format is exported separately from the same validated HTML. This keeps the PPTX, PDF, and PNG versions aligned instead of creating three subtly different decks.
7. Review and share
Open the editable deck, inspect the PDF, and review the PNG slides. Confirm facts, claims, citations, charts, image rights, accessibility, and brand compliance before distribution.
Presentation ideas you can create with the Skill
| Idea | Prompt direction | Useful output |
|---|---|---|
| Executive business review | Show performance, drivers, risks, decisions, owners, and next actions. | Editable PPTX for leadership review and PDF for circulation. |
| Sales proposal | Turn discovery notes into a customer-specific story with proof points and implementation steps. | PPTX for editing and PDF for the customer handoff. |
| Product launch deck | Explain the problem, product change, value, proof, objections, rollout, and call to action. | PPTX for sales enablement and PNG for internal documentation. |
| Research briefing | Summarize evidence, methods, findings, caveats, implications, and recommendation. | PDF for review plus editable PPTX for discussion. |
| Training presentation | Organize learning objectives, concepts, examples, exercises, and recap. | Editable PPTX, PDF handout, and PNG slides for a learning portal. |
| Data report | Use a defined reporting period, metric definitions, trends, anomalies, and actions. | Recurring PPTX/PDF/PNG outputs from a controlled source package. |
How to make the deck look stunning and stay useful
- Make slide titles conclusions. Replace labels such as “Revenue” with a message such as “Revenue grew because enterprise expansion offset SMB churn.”
- Give each slide one job. Do not ask a single slide to introduce a problem, prove it, answer objections, and present the recommendation.
- Use visual hierarchy. The audience should find the title, key number, supporting evidence, and next action in that order.
- Vary layouts deliberately. Use different structures for timelines, comparisons, metrics, quotes, frameworks, and decisions while preserving the same spacing and type system.
- Design for editing. Keep text, charts, images, and shapes practical to revise after generation. A beautiful first draft is not useful if normal changes require rebuilding it.
- Measure approval time. Track the time from source material to approved deck, not only the time required to generate the first draft.
What to do with PPTX, PDF, and PNG outputs
Use PPTX when the deck will continue through editing, review, speaker-note changes, or a downstream presentation workflow. Use PDF when you need a stable handout, approval copy, or archive. Use PNG when you need slide images for a preview, knowledge base, social post, thumbnail, or image-first system.
When no format is specified, the published Presenton workflow requests PPTX, PDF, and PNG. If you only need one format, name it in the prompt. Always inspect the exact output you plan to share, particularly fonts, chart labels, image crops, links, and page boundaries.
Common problems and how to fix them
| Problem | Better instruction |
|---|---|
| The deck is generic | Add the audience, decision, source material, required evidence, and a concrete slide outcome. |
| The design feels inconsistent | Specify a visual system or ask the Skill to select one design and apply it consistently. |
| Slides are too dense | Limit each slide to one message, shorten body copy, and move detail into notes or a companion document. |
| Charts are unclear | Provide metric definitions, units, date range, source, and the decision the chart should support. |
| Export needs rework | Ask for editable output, validate before export, and test the PPTX in the application used by reviewers. |
| Recurring decks drift | Version the brief, source package, template, and approval rules; regenerate from the same contract. |
