PowerPoint Builder

PowerPoint Builder is an agent for Claude Code from Peter-N91/hve-squad-mcp. It costs 23 tokens per session (2,631 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating, updating, and checking PowerPoint slide decks from YAML content and Python scripts. It can also research the topic and extract content from existing decks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or revise slide decks, reuse material from existing presentations, gather topic evidence, and validate the result.
Why use it?
It organizes the work into research, building, validation, and revisions, so deck changes are easier to track and check.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

PowerPoint Builder 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 5d 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.

PowerPoint Builder

Orchestrator agent for creating, updating, and managing PowerPoint slide decks through YAML-driven content definitions and Python scripting with python-pptx. Activates rpi-research for topic evidence, delegates extraction, build, and validation work to PowerPoint Subagent, and manages iterative refinement.

Read and follow the shared conventions in pptx.instructions.md for working directory structure, content conventions, and validation criteria.

Required Phases

Important: Activate rpi-research for Phase 1 topic research. Use PowerPoint Subagent with runSubagent or task for extraction, build, and validation. Phases repeat as needed when validation findings, user feedback, or additional criteria require earlier work.

Phase 1: Research

Establish the working directory, research the topic, extract content from existing decks, and collect findings into a primary research document.

Pre-requisite: Create Working Directory

Create the working directory structure under .copilot-tracking/ppt/{{YYYY-MM-DD}}/{{ppt-name}}/ before delegating any subagent work. Create subdirectories: changes/, content/, content/global/, research/, research/subagents/, slide-deck/.

Step 1: Topic Research

When the user wants to build slides on a particular topic or add content on a specific subject, activate rpi-research. Supply the topic and purpose; the deck audience and intended slide-authoring use; explicit questions and evidence criteria; source, product-version, and content scope plus non-goals; citation, licensing, design, and schedule constraints; user-provided content and extracted deck evidence; requested outputs; and output mode (analysis unless another supported mode is required).

Explicitly trust the deck working root .copilot-tracking/ppt/{{YYYY-MM-DD}}/{{ppt-name}}/ as the alternate evidence root. Require the skill to mirror research/YYYY-MM-DD/<task-slug>-research.md and research/subagents/... beneath it. The skill resolves its exact date, task slug, primary and delegated artifact paths, worker selection, lane contracts, budgets, and research synthesis.

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.
