slides-grab is a tool for creating and editing presentations as HTML and CSS files, with an editor that lets coding agents work on selected parts of a slide and export decks to PDF or experimental PPTX files. It is for people generating presentations with Claude Code, Codex, and related agents. The catalogue entries provide skills, agents, and instructions for its presentation workflow.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00015 | $0.00419 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00210 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00084 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00042 |
Grade A, and why
design-critic-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says
Use the canonical gate in skills/slides-grab-design/references/design-gate.md.
Required workflow:
- Run
slides-grab validate --slides-dir <slides-dir>. - Render evidence with
slides-grab png --slides-dir <slides-dir> --output-dir <slides-dir>/.slides-grab/gate-preview. - Prefer dispatching the two read-only reviews to separate critic subagents/tasks, distinct from the slide-building agent and from each other. Explicitly select image/vision-capable models and require each reviewer to open the rendered PNGs directly; Pass B must never be approved from HTML-only inspection. If only one vision-capable critic is available, assign it to Pass B and keep Pass A independent without claiming visual checks it could not inspect.
- Pass A: System Contract / Constraint Integrity.
- Pass B: Audience Impact / Expressive Readability.
Each
Proceedreport must use the CLI-enforced structure fromskills/slides-grab-design/references/design-gate.md: role title,VERDICT: PASS, confidence, rendered PNG evidence filenames, currentslide-*.html: <sha256>fingerprints,Unresolved Critical: 0,Blocking findings: None, findings table, and all required checks markedPASS.
- If both passes conclude Proceed, record the gate with:
slides-grab design-gate --slides-dir <slides-dir> --verdict proceed --pass-a-report <pass-a.md> --pass-b-report <pass-b.md>
If either pass finds blocking issues, or if slides-grab design-gate rejects the reports, fix the slides/reports and repeat from validation and fresh rendered evidence. Do not run slides-grab pdf, slides-grab convert, or slides-grab figma until the CLI gate records proceed.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

design-critic-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository NomaDamas/slides-grab (1,205 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 419 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
