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

deckcraft 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 yesterday.

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.

DeckCraft — headless presentations

DeckCraft is ArtCraft's presentation app (232 commands in 0.7.0). pi-craft provisions the headless deckcraft-cli on first use (no desktop app). Choosing between apps, the loop, hand-off formats and the MCP policy live in craft-studio. A slide deck goes to DeckCraft; a flowing document goes to WordCraft; a page-layout job to DesignCraft.

What it is for / formats

Slides built from layouts (title, titleAndContent, sectionHeader, twoContent, comparison, titleOnly, blank, contentWithCaption, pictureWithCaption), shapes, text boxes, tables, charts, pictures, animations, transitions. Project file: .pptx (also native deckcraft). Export: pdf (one page per slide), png/jpeg, pptx, outline; convert also writes odp. The default slide size is 960×540 pt (16:9).

CLI dialect

pi-craft deckcraft exec <args…> passes the arguments to deckcraft-cli.

deckcraft-cli commands [FILTER]                   # JSON array; FILTER is a POSITIONAL substring (no --filter, no --json)
deckcraft-cli describe <id>                       # label, menu location, params
deckcraft-cli run [--in FILE | --sample] [--cmd ID[=JSON]]… [--save OUT] [--export OUT] [--print]
deckcraft-cli info FILE                           # JSON: slides (index, layout, title, shapes), layouts, slideSize
deckcraft-cli convert IN OUT                      # pptx → pdf | png | odp …, by extension
deckcraft-cli render (FILE | --sample) [--slide N | --all] [--scale S] [--edit] OUT
deckcraft-cli render-transition FILE --slide N --t T[,T…] [--width PX] OUT.png
deckcraft-cli links | --version
  • run takes repeated --cmd, each id or id={json} (single-quote the JSON), executed in order on one in-memory presentation. --in FILE opens an existing deck; --save OUT writes the deck, --export OUT writes a pdf/png export.
  • Placement is by current slide: slide.new creates a slide after the current one and makes it current; shape.insert / insert.textBox then land on that slide. Rects are [x,y,w,h] in pt from the top-left of the 960×540 slide.
  • Inside run, file.export={"path":"o.pdf","format":"pdf"} and file.saveAs={"path":…} also work.

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.
