Does this work on Windows or Linux?

No, this skill targets Apple Keynote on macOS using native automation frameworks like JXA (JavaScript for Automation) and AppleScript.

Can I insert images into slides automatically?

Yes, the skill includes specific patterns for inserting images using the JXA Path function to ensure reliable file handling within Keynote.

What is the benefit of JXA over AppleScript for Keynote?

JXA allows you to use standard JavaScript syntax and logic, which often provides better error handling and familiarity for modern developers compared to AppleScript.

Does it support features not found in the official AppleScript dictionary?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for UI scripting via System Events to automate features that are not natively exposed in the Keynote scripting dictionary.

Can I use this to create presentations from external data?

Yes, this skill is specifically designed to programmatically generate slides, text, and charts based on data sources like JSON or local files.
