How to choose
Pick by file type. pptx writes new decks as pptxgenjs scripts and renders slides to images to check for overflow. pdf merges, splits and pulls tables with Python libraries. docx can add tracked changes and comments to Word files. xlsx keeps totals as live formulas and recalculates them with LibreOffice.
The four need different tools. pptx needs Node.js with pptxgenjs, Python with markitdown, LibreOffice and Poppler. pdf needs pypdf, pdfplumber and reportlab. docx needs Node.js, Python, pandoc, LibreOffice and Poppler. xlsx needs Python with openpyxl, pandas and markitdown, plus LibreOffice.
For PowerPoint beyond pptx, ppt-master builds native, editable PPTX files from documents or a topic, can restyle an existing deck, and waits for your confirmation at set gates. It needs only Python 3. dashi-ppt makes an HTML deck you edit in the browser and export to PPTX.
If a web deck is enough, guizang-ppt-skill builds one swipeable HTML file with a presenter view, in magazine or Swiss style, with Chinese instructions. html-ppt offers 36 themes and PNG export, and frontend-slides shows three title-slide looks to pick from. kami typesets resumes, reports and one-pagers as PDFs.
wecomcli-doc, written in Chinese, works with WeCom online docs through wecom-cli. Secondary picks include Lark CLI skills, PM Skills for product requirement documents, and Academic Research Skills for papers, which at least one scanner rated high risk.
