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 C, and why

powerpoint scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/create_presentation.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 218 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PowerPoint Creator Skill

Create professional PowerPoint presentations programmatically using python-pptx.

Overview

This skill enables creation of .pptx files with:

  • Title, section, content, and closing slides
  • Bullet points with custom markers
  • Visual accents (bars, lines, backgrounds)
  • Images, tables, and logos
  • Custom color schemes and fonts

File Management

All temporary files go in /tmp/claude/pptx-project/ to avoid filesystem clutter.

Before starting, ask where to save the final .pptx:

  • Desktop: ~/Desktop/presentation.pptx
  • Downloads: ~/Downloads/presentation.pptx
  • Current project directory
  • A specific path they provide

Quick Start Workflow

1. Set Up Environment

mkdir -p /tmp/claude/pptx-project && cd /tmp/claude/pptx-project
uv init && uv add python-pptx Pillow

2. Create Script

Write or adapt a script based on user requirements. Use scripts/create_presentation.py as reference.

3. Generate and Deliver

cd /tmp/claude/pptx-project
uv run python create_presentation.py ~/Desktop/presentation.pptx

4. Cleanup

rm -rf /tmp/claude/pptx-project

Design Principles

Avoid Common Pitfalls

DO NOT create "pastel and bubbly" designs. Common mistakes:

  • Soft, desaturated colors (cream, light teal, soft pink)
  • Decorative circles and rounded shapes
  • Too much visual clutter

DO create bold, professional designs:

  • Strong, saturated primary colors
  • Sharp rectangles and clean lines
  • High contrast between text and background
  • Generous whitespace

Recommended Design Elements

  1. Vertical accent bar on title slides (left edge)
  2. Solid color backgrounds for section dividers (use primary color)
  3. Top border line on content slides
  4. Square bullet markers instead of text bullets
  5. Dark background for closing slides (contrast with content)

Changes

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.
