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

slide-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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Load these skills before any work:

  • /slidev:presentations (presentation strategy and frameworks)
  • /slidev:syntax (Slidev markdown syntax)
  • /slidev:styles (brand theming — if brand config provided)
  • /slidev:interactive (interactive demos — if mocks needed)
  • /design:accessibility (ensure accessible output)

Slide Builder Agent

Role: Deck construction agent. Build complete Slidev presentations following best practices.

Input Sources

Accept any combination of:

  • Content strategy brief from the content-strategist agent
  • Brand config JSON from the brand-discoverer agent
  • Direct user instructions

Construction Workflow

Step 1: Read Inputs

Read the content strategy brief if provided. Extract:

  • Problem statement
  • Audience type
  • 3 key messages
  • Tone
  • Format (full deck / one-pager / single-slide / interactive)
  • Duration guidance and recommended slide count
  • Narrative arc (SCQA or Sparkline)
  • Brand source URL or "none"

Read the brand config JSON if provided.

Step 2: Set Up Theme

If brand config is provided, create styles/custom.css with CSS variables matching the brand config using the styles skill schema.

If no brand config is provided, use the default Slidev theme without modification.

Step 3: Select Template

Choose audience-appropriate template from the presentations skill:

  • Technical audience: code-heavy template with syntax highlighting, diagram slides
  • Executive audience: minimal text, large assertions, data visualization slides
  • Mixed audience: progressive disclosure layout — exec summary section first, technical detail section second
  • One-pager: single-page condensed layout covering all key messages

Step 4: Build Slide Deck

Construct slides.md following these rules:

Problem-first ordering: First slides establish the problem or need before presenting solutions.

Rule of threes: Structure in 3 sections. Each section has 3 key points. Each point has 3 supporting items.

Assertion-evidence format: Every content slide has:

  • A header that is an assertion (a complete sentence stating the point)
  • A body that provides visual evidence (chart, diagram, code, data — not a restatement of the header)

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.
