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

pptx-generation 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

Academic Presentation Generation

Overview

Create publication-quality academic presentations (.pptx) for group meetings, thesis defenses, conference talks, and posters.

Templates

Group Meeting (10-15 slides)

  1. Title slide (project name, date, presenter)
  2. Background / Context (1-2 slides)
  3. This Week's Progress (3-5 slides)
  4. Results & Figures (2-3 slides)
  5. Challenges / Questions (1 slide)
  6. Next Steps (1 slide)

Thesis Defense (30-50 slides)

  1. Title (name, committee, date)
  2. Outline
  3. Background & Significance (5-8 slides, establishing expertise)
  4. Specific Aims / Research Questions (1-2 slides)
  5. Aim 1: Methods → Results → Summary (8-12 slides)
  6. Aim 2: Methods → Results → Summary (8-12 slides)
  7. Aim 3 (if applicable)
  8. Integrated Discussion (2-3 slides)
  9. Conclusions & Impact (1-2 slides)
  10. Future Directions (1-2 slides)
  11. Acknowledgments
  12. Backup slides (for committee questions)

Conference Talk (12-20 slides, 10-15 min)

  1. Title (grab attention)
  2. The Problem (why should the audience care?)
  3. Key Question (one sentence)
  4. Our Approach (why this method?)
  5. Key Results (3-5 slides, one finding per slide)
  6. So What? (implications, impact)
  7. Acknowledgments

Design Principles

  • One message per slide: if you need two messages, use two slides
  • Visual hierarchy: title → key message → supporting data → source
  • Minimal text: bullet points, not paragraphs. The speaker IS the narrative.
  • Figure-first: lead with the figure, explain verbally
  • Consistent styling: same fonts, colors, and layout throughout

Technical Implementation

  • Use python-pptx for programmatic generation
  • Template-based: define slide layouts, then populate with content
  • Support custom color themes and institutional branding
  • Export as .pptx (editable) and .pdf (final)
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.
