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-decoder 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 7d ago.

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

What it actually says

PPTX Decoder

Use this skill when the team needs to parse an existing .pptx file as either:

1. a template whose style should be extracted, or
2. a material deck whose content should be summarized.

Tool

Use:

python .opencode/skills/pptx-decoder/scripts/decode_pptx.py --input template.pptx --output template_style.json --mode template

or from the repository:

python teams/ppt_writer_team/skills/pptx-decoder/scripts/decode_pptx.py --input template.pptx --output template_style.json --mode template

Modes

template:
  Extract slide size, theme/design colors, font hierarchy, layouts, placeholder/content slots, backgrounds, shape styles, header/footer regions, image counts and reusable visual patterns.

material:
  Extract titles, body text, notes, tables, media counts and slide-level summaries.

Output

The script writes JSON with:

file
mode
slide_width
slide_height
slides[]
style_summary
style_spec_suggestion
warnings[]

In template mode, style_spec_suggestion is a machine-generated starting point for deck_spec/style_spec.json. The template decoder or visual designer must review it before use, especially semantic color roles and any header/footer text examples.

Rules

Use template mode for template fidelity: inherit the template system and slots, not just broad style inspiration.
Do not reuse unrelated template content.
Preserve reusable design intent: dimensions, master/theme, backgrounds, colors, typography, spacing, page furniture, section-divider style, table/chart treatment and purpose-specific layout rhythm.
If python-pptx is missing, report dependency error and ask ppt_encoder_agent/team_lead_agent to install it.
Files

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.
