  • Intermediate
  • 30 minutes
  • From the README
  • Codex

Who it is forA user on Windows or macOS whose office software is WPS Presentation and who needs an editable figure in that environment.

The problemWPS users need an editable version of a reference figure without a Microsoft PowerPoint install.

The outcomeAn editable PPTX working copy built in WPS, with open, document-open, and refresh checks reported for each region.

What you need first

  • Codex with the ability to install plugins
  • Microsoft PowerPoint, WPS Presentation, or draw.io Desktop installed and open
  • The reference figure as an image file to upload to Codex

Steps

  1. Install the plugin by sending the install prompt from the README to Codex, then fully quit and reopen Codex.
  2. Open WPS Presentation and upload the reference figure to Codex.
  3. Send the WPS prompt from the README in a new task, and confirm that target_application is wps and microsoft_powerpoint_used is false.
  4. After each region, check open_dispatched, document_open_verified, and refresh_verified, then save the PPTX and export the preview.

Prompt for your agent

Using the scientific-illustrator plugin with host_application set to wps, redraw the uploaded reference figure as an editable PPTX working copy in WPS Presentation. Verify that target_application is wps, microsoft_powerpoint_used is false, and refresh_verified is true for each region.

Caveat. The README says WPS edits a working copy and does not connect to an unsaved current window, and Windows reports document-open verification as unknown when it cannot be checked.
