Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-03 (score 59, +1)

## MCP tools (7)

### `starter` (~120 tokens)

Get a ready-to-fill unPaper HTML slide template. Use this FIRST when asked to create a presentation/deck/slides as .pptx or print-ready HTML: write your content INTO the returned file's structure (keep its <style>, @page and <script> blocks verbatim; one <section class="slide"> per slide; add data-unpaper-chart JSON to every chart; put speaker notes in <aside class="notes">). Then validate with `check` and convert with `convert`.

Input parameters:

- `family` (string): template family (default standard)

### `check` (~202 tokens)

Validate unPaper HTML (or any HTML deck) BEFORE converting. Returns the conformance level (L0–L3), per-slide issues, and a ready fix-request text. Call after writing or editing a deck; if level < L1 or errors exist, apply the fixes and call again. A clean check makes `convert` output fully editable. Set template: true (with optional family) to validate a COMPANY TEMPLATE from `templatize` against the byte-law instead: per-rule checks, mechanical re-lock of a drifted sizing script, a fix request on failure, and the repaired html to save.

Input parameters:

- `family` (string): template mode only: the base family (default: auto-detected)
- `html` (string): the deck as an HTML string
- `path` (string): or an absolute file path — exactly one of html/path
- `template` (boolean): validate as a company template (byte-law) instead of a deck

### `convert` (~155 tokens)

Convert an unPaper/self-contained HTML deck to a REAL, editable PowerPoint (.pptx): native text boxes, tables, data-editable charts, movable shapes, speaker notes. Runs fully locally — no network, no upload. Prefer running `check` first; conversion succeeds on most HTML but editability follows conformance. Returns the output file path and a per-slide report.

Input parameters:

- `html` (string): the deck as an HTML string
- `noShapes` (boolean): flatten everything into the background image
- `out` (string): output .pptx path (default: alongside the input, or CWD/deck.pptx)
- `path` (string): or an absolute file path — exactly one of html/path

### `patterns` (~97 tokens)

Browse the unPaper pattern library (consulting slide layouts: exec summary, comparison, waterfall, 2×2, roadmap…). Use when deciding HOW to lay out content before writing the deck. Returns compact pattern descriptions with structure hints; write the deck yourself using them — there is no generation here.

Input parameters:

- `family` (string): standard | consulting | design | editorial
- `id` (string): one pattern id, e.g. C16

### `import` (~147 tokens)

Rescue an existing .pptx (or legacy .ppt with LibreOffice installed) into AI-readable unPaper HTML: content, tables, notes, chart DATA, image placeholders + a facts file. Use when asked to redesign, update, or 'un-paper' an existing PowerPoint. Then rewrite the returned deck.ai.html into a proper deck (keep every <figure data-unpaper-image> placeholder), call `rehydrate`, then `check` + `convert`.

Input parameters:

- `emitBrandKit` (boolean)
- `outDir` (string): directory for outputs (default: alongside the input)
- `path` (string, required): absolute path to the .pptx/.ppt/.pps/.odp

### `rehydrate` (~119 tokens)

Merge real images back into a redesigned deck. Call after rewriting an imported deck.ai.html: replaces every <figure data-unpaper-image> placeholder with the stored image from deck.images.json. Fails loudly if placeholders were lost — restore them and retry.

Input parameters:

- `html` (string): the redesigned deck as an HTML string
- `imagesJson` (string, required): absolute path to deck.images.json
- `out` (string): output path (default: alongside the input)
- `path` (string): or an absolute file path — exactly one of html/path

### `templatize` (~285 tokens)

Turn a company's slide format into a reusable unPaper TEMPLATE. Returns a payload for YOU to execute — there is no generation inside unPaper. With no brief: the template-maker prompt + the base skeleton (study the company's real slides in your context and produce the re-skin yourself). With a brief (name, colours, personality, logo…): the designer prompt + a pre-founded base for a company with NO existing format — that embedded base is already a valid template and may be saved as-is. After authoring, validate with `check` {template: true} and keep the repaired html as the company template every future deck starts from. Use `starter` for one-off decks; use this when the user wants THEIR OWN reusable format.

Input parameters:

- `colors` (array): brand colours as hex, up to two
- `does` (string): what the company does, one line
- `family` (string): base family (default: standard; design mode defaults to consulting)
- `foot` (string): footer line, e.g. "Confidential"
- `logoDataUri` (string): logo as a data:image/* URI; SVG preferred
- `name` (string): company name (any brief field switches to design mode)
- `notes` (string)
- `personality` (string)
- `present` (array): what the company mostly presents
