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

generate-slides 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 8d 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

Generate Slides: $ARGUMENTS

Activate the presentation-engine skill. Read skills/presentation-engine/SKILL.md in full.

Execute the complete 5-step presentation workflow:

  1. EXTRACT key content from each paper section
  2. DESIGN slide structure (15-18 slides for conference, 10-12 for short talk)
  3. GENERATE slide content with speaker notes for every slide
  4. INTEGRATE figures from figures/ directory where appropriate
  5. SAVE to presentation/presentation.md + presentation/speaker_notes.md

Input

$ARGUMENTS can be:

  • Empty — generates a standard 15-18 slide conference presentation
  • Format (e.g., "short talk", "workshop", "seminar", "poster")
  • Time constraint (e.g., "10 minutes", "20 minutes", "45 minutes")
  • Venue (e.g., "ICIS 2026") — adapts to venue presentation norms

Output

  • presentation/presentation.md — Marp-compatible slide deck with speaker notes
  • presentation/speaker_notes.md — standalone speaker notes for rehearsal
  • presentation/slide_outline.md — quick reference outline
  • Render with: marp presentation/presentation.md --pdf

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.
