Description
Translate Chinese PowerPoint presentations to English while preserving all images, charts, shapes, and media content. Adjusts fonts to Calibri and optimizes...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims: it extracts only text from your PPTX and sends those text segments to the LLM endpoint you configure. Before using it on sensitive presentations, consider: (1) run it against a local model (Ollama/Qoderwork) or an approved enterprise endpoint rather than a public cloud API; (2) never paste long-lived production API keys into unknown scripts — prefer short‑lived or scoped keys; (3) inspect the included translate_ppt.py yourself (it is small and readable) and test on non‑sensitive slides first; (4) if you must use a cloud service, review the provider's data retention and privacy policy. If you want, I can point out exact lines where it sends text to the API and where an API key is used so you know what data would be transmitted.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the actual behavior: the package extracts text from PPTX, translates via an OpenAI‑compatible API, and reapplies translations while preserving non‑text content. Required packages (python-pptx, requests) and an LLM endpoint are appropriate and proportional.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the script limit activity to parsing PPTX content, batching Chinese text segments, calling the specified LLM endpoint, and writing a translated PPTX. They do not read unrelated files or environment variables. Important privacy note: the tool sends extracted slide text to the configured api_base (cloud or local); this is expected for translation but is a data‑exfiltration surface if you point it at an untrusted cloud endpoint.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec; it relies on pip-installed Python packages. No downloads from untrusted URLs or archive extraction are present in the provided files.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. It accepts an --api-key CLI option (and will set an Authorization header if provided) which is reasonable. Users should avoid supplying cloud API keys when translating sensitive slides unless they trust the provider or use a local model.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent presence, does not set always:true, and contains no code that modifies other skills or global agent settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install ppt-translate - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/ppt-translate - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.2
- Updated the skill to support any OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint (local or cloud), not just Ollama.
- Added Qoderwork usage instructions and cloud API support for maximum flexibility.
- Revised prerequisites, quick start, and CLI options to reflect greater endpoint compatibility (including new `--api-base` and `--api-key` parameters).
- Clarified that users can use available models in Qoderwork or their preferred LLM endpoint.
- Ollama is now just one option—other endpoints like OpenAI or DeepSeek are supported.
- "Requires" section updated to only specify Python 3. Ollama is now optional.
v1.0.1
Initial local version with Ollama model support and revised usage
- Added Ollama as a local LLM backend for translation, replacing OpenAI API.
- Updated prerequisites, installation, and command-line options to reflect Ollama and locally-pulled models.
- Provided a recommended model list with guidance for best Chinese-to-English results.
- Included new triggers for easier discovery (e.g., "translate PPT", "presentation translation").
- Documentation improvements: clearer setup steps, troubleshooting for Ollama, and updated dependency info.
v1.0.0
- Initial release for translating Chinese PowerPoint presentations (.pptx) to English.
- Preserves all images, charts, shapes, tables, SmartArt, embedded media, hyperlinks, and formatting.
- Adjusts all slide fonts to Calibri with professional business styling.
- Optimizes layout for English text, including text box resizing and font auto-shrinking.
- Maintains original slide masters, templates, animations, and transitions.
- CLI options for customization, including font selection, model choice, and API configuration.
