Metis — Create Presentation
create_presentationTurn a plain text outline into a PowerPoint (.pptx) deck, converting headings to slide titles, lines to bullets, and quoted lines to speaker notes.
Instructions
Create a PowerPoint (.pptx) file from a simple text outline.
The tool that closes the largest gap in Claude Desktop: Metis could read
presentations but never produce one, so any "make me a deck" request had no
way to land as a file.
Args:
title: Deck title, used on the title slide and in the filename.
slides: The deck as plain text. Each slide starts with a line beginning
"# " (the slide title); every following line becomes a bullet.
A line beginning "> " becomes speaker notes for that slide.
Blank lines are ignored. Example:
# Why passive surveillance underperforms
Health-facility detection depends on care-seeking
Median delay to diagnosis exceeds 12 months
> Open with the Mitashi 2014 figure
# What changes with RDTs at the periphery
Sensitivity holds at lower prevalence
A line beginning "## " starts a section-divider slide instead.
subtitle: Optional subtitle for the title slide.
filename: Optional filename; derived from the title when omitted.
template: The researcher's slide template stored in Metis (name or part
of it). Empty = their default deck template if one is stored (see
list_templates) — never ask them for the file. "none" = plain deck.
closing: Text for the template's closing slide under "Thank you!" —
e.g. presenter name, e-mail, website. Empty = no closing slide.
Returns:
The path written and a slide count.
