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-to-slide-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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/extract.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.

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 — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PPTX → slide-Markdown

Convert an existing .pptx back into the plain-text format the user writes slides in, so a finished deck becomes editable source again.

Target format

One block per slide. --- separates slides; === separates slide content from speaker notes. Presenter instructions (images, animations, demos) live in [brackets] inside the content area. If the deck has sections, each section begins with a [Section N: Section Name] label before the first slide in that section.

[Section 1: Introduction]

[Slide 1]

# Slide Title

Slide content in markdown: bullets, numbered lists, tables, **bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~, [links](url).

[image: assets/slide3_img1.png — "alt text"]

[animation — 2 click steps:
  click 1: entrance of "First point"
  click 2: entrance of "Second point"]

===

**Speaker Notes:**

Notes in markdown.

---

[Slide 2]

# Next Slide Title

...

===

**Speaker Notes:**

*(none)*

Each slide is preceded by a [Slide N] label (N is the slide's position in the deck, so a subset extraction keeps the original numbers). --- separates slides and === separates content from notes, as before.

Blank lines between elements ensure Markdown viewers render each block as a separate paragraph rather than collapsing consecutive lines into soft-wrapped text.

The user also uses [^] inside speaker notes to mark a click. See the note on animations below for why extraction puts animation detail in the content area rather than fabricating [^] positions in the notes.

How to run it

The work is done by scripts/extract.py (Python 3; needs python-pptx and lxml). lxml normally arrives as a dependency of python-pptx, but the script imports it directly (from lxml import etree), so it is declared in its own right in requirements.txt.

pip install python-pptx lxml --break-system-packages   # if not already present
python scripts/extract.py <input.pptx> -o <output.md>

Options:

  • -o, --output — output path (default: <input-stem>.md in the cwd).
  • --slides — subset to extract, e.g. --slides 3-20 or --slides 1,4,7-9 (1-based; default: all). Numbers in [Slide N] stay absolute.
  • --images-dir DIR — where to write extracted images (default: <output-stem>_images/ next to the output file).
  • --no-images — don't write image files; still emit [image: filename] inline.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
