CyberPPT, a Codex Skill for generating consulting-style PowerPoint presentations. The specific problem is a significant discrepancy between the generated preview images (IMG2) and the final editable PowerPoint output.

CyberPPT is positioned as a tool for generating 'high-density, editable, consulting-style PowerPoint' presentations. The issue directly challenges the 'editable' and 'consulting-style' aspects if the final output deviates drastically from the approved preview. This undermines trust in the generation process.

This issue highlights a critical fidelity gap in CyberPPT: a significant divergence between 'IMG2 generated preview images' and the 'generated editable PPT effect.' Users observe excellent previews but receive final editable PowerPoint files that bear 'no relation at all' to the approved visual. ...
