README (SKILL.md)
Markdown to PowerPoint Converter
Convert Markdown files with slide separators into PowerPoint presentations.
Default Behavior
- Input: Markdown file with
---slide separators - Output: PPTX file saved to Obsidian vault (
~/obsidian-360/工作知识库/) - Fallback: If Obsidian vault unavailable, saves to same directory as input
Usage
Basic conversion
python3 scripts/md2pptx.py input.md
# Output: ~/obsidian-360/工作知识库/input.pptx
Specify output location
python3 scripts/md2pptx.py input.md /path/to/output.pptx
Requirements
Install one of the following for best results:
Option 1: LibreOffice (recommended)
brew install --cask libreoffice
Option 2: Pandoc
brew install pandoc
Markdown Format for Slides
Use --- to separate slides:
# Title Slide
Welcome to the presentation
---
# Slide 2
Content here
---
# Slide 3

Obsidian Vault Path
The default output location is read from:
~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json
Current vault: ~/obsidian-360/工作知识库/
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: convert a Markdown file to PPTX and (by default) place the result in your active Obsidian vault. Before installing, consider: (1) the script reads ~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json to find the vault — if you don't want it reading that config file, do not install; (2) it will write files into your vault directory and create a temporary HTML file near the input file (the temp HTML is deleted on success); (3) conversion runs external commands (soffice or pandoc) via subprocess — ensure those binaries on your PATH are the expected, trusted programs to avoid accidental execution of a malicious replacement; (4) there are no network calls or credential exfiltration in the code, but you should still review the script if you have strict security requirements. If any of these behaviors are unacceptable, review or modify the script before use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: md-to-pptx
Version: 1.0.0
The skill converts Markdown files to PowerPoint presentations using LibreOffice or Pandoc. It includes a feature to automatically save outputs to an active Obsidian vault by reading the application's configuration file (~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json), a behavior that is explicitly disclosed in the SKILL.md documentation. The Python script (scripts/md2pptx.py) uses safe subprocess execution (passing arguments as a list) and lacks any indicators of data exfiltration, persistence, or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (Markdown→PPTX, default save to Obsidian vault) align with the included script: the Python program converts Markdown to HTML and then uses soffice or pandoc to produce a PPTX, and defaults output to the active Obsidian vault when available.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and the script are largely in-scope. The script reads ~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json to discover the active vault path and will write the generated PPTX into that vault (or the input directory if no vault found). This file read is consistent with the stated default-output behavior, but it does mean the skill accesses the user's Obsidian config file.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec. It recommends installing LibreOffice or Pandoc but does not download or install code itself; the included script is small and local.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or external endpoints are requested. Access is limited to reading obsidian.json (to locate the vault) and writing the generated PPTX/temporary HTML files. That access is proportional to the feature of saving into the user's vault.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent installation or elevated privileges and is not forced-always. It does invoke external binaries (soffice/pandoc) during execution, which is expected for conversion tasks.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install md-to-pptx - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/md-to-pptx - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
