PPTX Slide Specification
Author final coordinates directly in layout_tree. No renderer may decide placement, shrink text, or infer layout after the audit.
Required contract
- The root JSON contains summary and slides.
- Every slide has a stable id, a message-led title, an accessibility reading order, and a complete layout_tree.
- A layout tree declares slide size, root group, id-keyed groups and objects, final inch bboxes, styles, z-indexes, and classifications.
- Every meaningful object has id, kind, role, classification, content, style, bbox, and z_index.
- Production summary contains an explicit layout_policy (safe margin, content bottom, footer top, minimum gap) and accessibility metadata.
Authoring rules
- Use stable readable IDs, absolute groups, and positive inch dimensions.
- Keep normal content inside the safe margin and above the footer rail. Only background layout_design objects may be full bleed.
- Use native text, shape, line, table, and image objects. Recreate labels and values from any supporting visual as native objects.
- Give meaningful images alt text. Record source_ref for sourced claims.
- Keep content text at 9 pt or greater; shorten, resize, or split dense content before reducing type.
- Use shared grids, consistent gaps, explicit color, explicit font size, and an intentional z-order.
Build contract
A task-local builder starts from a blank slide layout and maps all bboxes with Inches(...). Explicitly set wrapping, disabled auto-size, text insets, anchors, alignment, fonts, colors, line settings, image aspect ratio, and hidden-slide state. Reject zero or negative geometry before adding an object.
See references/layout-contract.md for the compact schema and repair guidance.
