deck-refresh

deck-refresh is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from anthropics/financial-services. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,505 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A presentation-updating skill that replaces old figures in an existing PowerPoint deck with new ones while preserving the deck’s formatting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for quarterly updates, earnings revisions, comparable-company updates, market-data roll-forwards, or replacing a set of old values with new ones.
Why use it?
It removes the need to search through slides and manually replace repeated numbers, reducing the risk of missed or inconsistently formatted figures.

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

deck-refresh 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deck Refresh

Update numbers across the deck. The deck is the source of truth for formatting; you're only changing values.

Environment check

This skill works in both the PowerPoint add-in and chat. Identify which you're in before starting — the edit mechanism differs, the intent doesn't:

  • Add-in — the deck is open live; edit text runs, table cells, and chart data directly.
  • Chat — the deck is an uploaded file; edit it by regenerating the affected slides with the new values and writing the result back.

Either way: smallest possible change, existing formatting stays intact.

This is a four-phase process and the third phase is an approval gate. Don't edit until the user has seen the plan.

Phase 1 — Get the data

Use ask_user_question to find out how the new numbers are arriving:

  • Pasted mapping — user types or pastes "revenue $485M → $512M, EBITDA $120M → $135M." The clearest case.
  • Uploaded Excel — old/new columns, or a fresh output sheet the user wants pulled from. Read it, confirm which column is which before you trust it.
  • Just the new values — "Q4 revenue was $512M, margins were 22%." You figure out what each one replaces. Workable, but confirm the mapping before you touch anything — a "$512M" that you map to revenue but the user meant for gross profit is a quiet disaster.

Also ask about derived numbers: if revenue moves, does the user want growth rates and share percentages recalculated, or left alone? Most decks have "+15% YoY" baked in somewhere that's now stale. Whether to touch those is a judgment call the user should make, not you.

Phase 2 — Read everything, find everything

Read every slide. For each old value, find every instance — including the ones that don't look the same:

Variant Example
Scale $485M, $0.485B, $485,000,000
Precision $485M, $485.0M, ~$485M
Unit style $485M, $485MM, $485 million, 485M
Embedded "revenue grew to $485M", "a $485M business", axis labels

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.
