# Morph Generate visually compelling PPTs with smooth Morph animations. **Philosophy**: Trust yourself to learn through practice. This skill provides workflow and references — you bring creativity and judgment. --- ## Use when - User wants to generate a `.pptx` --- ## What is Morph? PowerPoint's Morph transition creates smooth animations by matching shapes with **identical names** across adjacent slides. ``` Slide 1: shape name="!!circle" x=5cm width=8cm Slide 2: shape name="!!circle" x=20cm width=12cm ↓ Result: Circle smoothly moves and grows ``` **Three core concepts:** - **Scene Actors**: Persistent shapes with `!!` prefix that evolve across slides - **Ghosting**: Move shapes to `x=36cm` (off-screen) instead of deleting - **Content**: Text/data added fresh per slide, previous content ghosted first For details: `reference/pptx-design.md` --- ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Understand the Topic Ask only when topic is unclear, otherwise proceed directly. --- > **⚠️ CRITICAL KNOWN ISSUE: Name-based path selectors break after `transition=morph` is set** > After calling `officecli set '/slide[N]' --prop transition=morph`, paths like `/slide[N]/!!my-shape` return 'Element not found'. The CLI auto-prepends `!!` to shape names when morph is applied, which invalidates name-based lookups. > > **Workaround:** Always use shape INDEX paths instead of name paths when accessing shapes on morph slides: > > ```bash > # WRONG (after transition=morph set): > officecli get...
