When to pick liteparse
Local document and PDF parsing with spatial text and bounding boxes. Use for extracting text from PDFs, DOCX, Office files, and images; OCR on scans; layout-preserved JSON for RAG; batch-ingesting paper folders; or page screenshots for multimodal agents — even when the user does not name liteparse. Prefer over MarkItDown when you need bboxes, fast local parsing, or PNG page renders; prefer over the pdf skill for merge/split/forms.
When to pick PPTX
Create and edit PowerPoint (.pptx) decks: layouts, themes, speaker notes and image placement — Claude returns a ready-to-present file.
