# PPTX Reference Deck Analysis

Learn how an existing deck is built without touching it

## What this does

Someone sends you a slide deck and you need to know how it was put together - the fonts, the colors, the layouts, the spacing. This reads the deck and tells you, without changing anything in it. Useful when you have to match an existing deck or figure out why one looks off.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Find out what fonts and colors a deck uses
- Map the layouts a template offers
- Check a deck for structural problems

## About PPTX Reference Deck Analysis

This is for the moment you inherit a PowerPoint file and need to understand it. It looks at structure, theme, typography and the rhythm of the layouts, and reports what it finds.

It also runs diagnostics and can derive a catalogue of the template's parts, so what was implicit in the file becomes something you can read and reuse.

Everything it does is read-only. It inspects the presentation package without writing back to it.
