PPT-Design-Prompt

Convert DESIGN.md brand references into presentation-image oriented DESIGN.md files.

1

This repository is for slide image systems, not full slide decks, not HTML presentations, and not product UI implementation. The goal is to turn web-first brand guidance into a format that image models and design agents can use when generating assets for PowerPoint, Keynote, PDF decks, or visual essays.

This project is adapted from the upstream DESIGN.md collection maintained at VoltAgent/awesome-design-md. Its purpose is to reinterpret those web and UI oriented references as presentation-image prompts and guidance.

Upstream source

The original source catalog for this project is:

• https://github.com/VoltAgent/awesome-design-md

This repository is a derivative conversion tool and prompt library. It is not the original source catalog, and it should not be confused with the upstream project.

What this repo is

• a converter from source DESIGN.md files to ppt-image/<brand>/DESIGN.md
• a small Python CLI that can be installed and re-run locally
• a generic presentation-image DESIGN.md at the repo root
• a minimal synthetic example for CI and contributor onboarding

What this repo is not

• not a deck generator
• not a PowerPoint exporter
• not a screenshot scraper
• not a promise that every brand source can be legally redistributed

Open-source boundary

This repository is structured so that local downloaded sources stay local by default.

• source/ is ignored by .gitignore
• local source files are expected to originate from VoltAgent/awesome-design-md
• the repository license applies to repo-authored code and docs
• third-party brand names and source materials remain the property of their owners
• if you publish converted brand outputs, review the legal notes in ATTRIBUTION.md

If your local working copy already contains a populated source/ directory, double-check it before making an initial public commit.

Install

python -m pip install -e .

Quick start

If you already have local source files under source/<brand>/DESIGN.md, run:

design-md-ppt convert

This writes:

• converted files to ./ppt-image
• a manifest to ./conversion_manifest.json

If you want explicit paths:

design-md-ppt convert \
  --source-root ./source \
  --output-root ./ppt-image \
  --manifest ./conversion_manifest.json \
  --brands-file ./catalog/brands.txt

Example run without third-party data

This repo ships with a synthetic example so contributors can test the toolchain without downloading live sources:

design-md-ppt convert \
  --source-root ./examples/minimal/source \
  --output-root ./examples/minimal/output \
  --manifest ./examples/minimal/manifest.json \
  --brands-file ./examples/minimal/brands.txt

Legacy script

For people who prefer the old workflow, the repo still includes:

python ./scripts/generate_ppt_image_designs.py

That wrapper runs the same converter with repo-root defaults.

Why the brand catalog exists

catalog/brands.txt is optional.

• if you provide it, the converter knows which brands are expected and can emit placeholders for missing sources
• if you omit it, the converter simply converts whatever exists under source/

This makes the tool self-contained and removes the old dependency on a sibling awesome-design-md_upstream checkout.

Development

Run tests:

python -m unittest discover -s tests -v

Run the example conversion:

design-md-ppt convert \
  --source-root ./examples/minimal/source \
  --output-root ./tmp-example-output \
  --manifest ./tmp-example-manifest.json \
  --brands-file ./examples/minimal/brands.txt

Current repository state

This working tree currently contains generated outputs under ppt-image/. They can be useful as a public catalog, but they may still be too close to upstream brand materials for some maintainers' comfort level. If you want a stricter open-source posture, keep the code and generic docs, then selectively review or remove brand-specific generated outputs before your first public push.
