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.

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 | $0.01691 | $0.01691 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00676 | $0.00676 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00338 | $0.00338 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00169 | $0.00169 |
Grade A, and why
slideshot-mcp 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 2mo 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.

Slideshot MCP v4.4.0 — Tool Usage Guide
6 Tools
| Tool | When to use |
|---|---|
discover_themes |
MANDATORY first for slide creation workflow. Returns themes, orientation presets, token modes, format options, and persisted user preferences. |
list_themes |
Idempotent theme catalog read with no discovery gates. Use when you just need the theme list. |
create_slides |
Create slides. Use mode=default unless user explicitly chose token_saver. |
edit_slides |
Partial edits to existing HTML — replace_slide, patch_css, patch_class, swap_token. Use this instead of regenerating the whole deck for small iterations (saves tokens). |
render_slides |
Render HTML to PDF/WebP/PNG/PPTX. Accepts html string or htmlPath. Supports width, height, selector, scale, webpQuality, orientation, pptxMode, pptxFilename, slideRange. Can be called directly with an existing htmlPath (bypasses gates). |
health_check |
Diagnose Puppeteer/Chromium issues. |
Two Workflows
A. Full slide-creation workflow (no existing HTML)
1. discover_themes → present ALL native selector prompts to the user
── theme, topic, orientation, token mode (recommend Default), format
── DO NOT render themes as markdown list — use selectors only
── DO NOT ask how many slides — AI decides based on topic
── WAIT for user answers
2. Show DATA OUTLINE — bullet list of proposed slides (no tool call)
── Present the outlineConfirm selector: "Looks good, continue" / "I want to make changes"
── WAIT for user to pick or type response. Loop until approved.
3. create_slides(mode, theme, orientation, html/slides) → htmlPath
── Use mode=default unless user explicitly chose token_saver
── STOP: Show htmlPath as code preview artifact
── Ask user to confirm. DO NOT call render_slides in this turn.
4. User confirms → render_slides(htmlPath, formats, scale, pptxMode...) → files on disk
B. Direct render (user has existing HTML file)
1. render_slides(htmlPath=<path to existing file>, formats, width, height, scale...) → files on disk
── No discover_themes or create_slides needed
── Gates are bypassed when htmlPath points to an existing file
── Also accepts html string directly instead of htmlPath
── Supports all render params: selector, width, height, scale, webpQuality, orientation, pptxMode, pptxFilename, slideRange
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.

slideshot-mcp is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository 06ketan/slideshot (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,691 tokens to every session, about $0.0068 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
