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

keynote-presentation 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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Keynote Presentation Builder

Build polished Keynote presentations using keynote-mcp MCP tools. This skill encodes domain expertise about Keynote's AppleScript quirks, layout math, and design patterns.

CRITICAL: Font Size Bug

add_title with font_size > 48 creates a tiny text box that clips to 1-2 characters.

Workaround (always use for large titles):

  1. add_title(slide_number=1, title="My Title", x=480, y=260, font_size=96)
  2. get_slide_content(slide_number=1) — find the element index N
  3. resize_element(slide_number=1, element_type="text", element_index=N, width=900, height=140)
  4. edit_text_item(slide_number=1, item_index=N, new_text="My Title") — restore truncated text

Safe sizes (no workaround needed): title <=48pt, subtitle <=32pt, bullets <=28pt, code <=20pt

See references/font-size-workaround.md for detailed examples.

Workflow

Step 1: Setup

get_slide_size()
get_available_themes()
create_presentation(title="...", theme="Slate")
set_slide_layout(slide_number=1, layout="Blank")
  • Use Slate theme by default (dark gradient, works on Blank layout)
  • Always set slides to Blank layout — themed layouts inject invisible placeholders
  • See references/theme-reference.md for full compatibility table

Step 2: Batch-create slides

Add all slides before content to avoid index confusion:

add_slide(position=2)
add_slide(position=3)

Step 3: Add content

  • Center text manually: x = 960 - (char_count * px_per_char / 2)
  • See references/coordinate-reference.md for width estimates per font size
  • See references/slide-templates.md for hero, statement, bullets, code, and closing patterns
  • Use references/shape-and-styling.md for containers, colors, and two-column layouts

Step 4: Verify every slide

CRITICAL: Always screenshot and visually inspect after building each slide.

screenshot_slide(slide_number=N, output_path="/tmp/slideN.png")

Read the image. Check for:

  • Text clipping (only 1-2 characters visible)
  • Element overlaps (compare y + height vs next element y)
  • Content overflowing slide edges
  • Alignment issues
