In plain words
What is it for?
Creating research presentations, building and serving slide files, capturing slides as images, and running the test suite.
Why use it?
They explain the commands and architecture needed to build, preview, test, and modify the slide generator correctly.

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.

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

colloquium CLAUDE.md 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 3d 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.

Colloquium — Agent Instructions

What This Is

Colloquium is an agent-native slide creation tool for research talks. Markdown-based, git-friendly, AI-drivable.

Commands

  • Use uv for all Python operations
  • uv pip install -e . to install in dev mode
  • uv run colloquium build examples/hello/hello.md to build slides
  • uv run colloquium serve examples/hello/hello.md for dev server (with live reload)
  • To preview built slides, open the .html file directly (open examples/hello/hello.html), NOT via the serve URL
  • uv run colloquium capture examples/hello/hello.md to capture slides as PNGs
  • uv run pytest to run tests

Changelog

  • Update CHANGELOG.md with every PR — one line per PR, not per commit
  • Format: - Short summary of all changes in the PR ([#N](https://github.com/natolambert/colloquium/pull/N))
  • Add under ## [Unreleased]

Architecture Patterns

CSS

  • Slides use display:none by default, display:flex on .active
  • CSS specificity: .slide--type.active not .slide--type (avoids display override bugs)
  • CSS custom properties (--colloquium-*) for all theme colors/fonts
  • Humans can override with custom CSS or per-slide style directives

Navigation (presentation.js)

  • Keyboard: arrows, Home/End, Space, PgUp/PgDn, F (fullscreen), Esc
  • Click zones: left 1/3 back, right 2/3 forward
  • Touch swipe support
  • Hash-based URL routing (#1, #2, ...)
  • Slide counter + progress bar

Slide Directives

Per-slide configuration via HTML comments:

  • <!-- layout: two-column --> — slide layout
  • <!-- class: highlight --> — CSS classes
  • <!-- style: background: #1a1a2e --> — inline styles
  • <!-- notes: Speaker notes here --> — speaker notes (hidden in presentation)

Output

  • All output is a single self-contained HTML file (CSS/JS inlined)
  • KaTeX (CDN) for LaTeX math
  • highlight.js (CDN) for code syntax highlighting

PDF Export

  • Primary: @media print CSS makes all slides visible with page breaks, hides nav
  • Users can Cmd+P in any browser for a clean PDF
  • CLI convenience: colloquium export tries system Chrome --headless --print-to-pdf
  • Optional ghostscript compression if gs is on PATH

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.
