    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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

slides.reduce_text 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 1mo 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 — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Goal

  • Your goal is to reduce the text in the slide text without changing content or structure

Workflow

Role

  • Your role is specified in .claude/skills/role.ai_researcher.md

Follow Conventions

  • Follow the conventions in .claude/skills/slides.rules.md
    • E.g., if a line starts with an asterisk *, it's the slide title and leave it unchanged

Keep the Structure

  • Maintain the sequence of slides, the comments, and the headers
  • Maintain the structure of the text in terms of bullet and sub-bullet points
  • Keep all the figures
  • Leave bold lines untouched
  • Never collapse a sub-point into a colon-joined clause on the parent bullet: shorten the words in each bullet, don't merge bullets together
    • Bad
      - **Collections of data**: organized datasets for analysis
        - E.g., customer purchase histories in CRM
      
    • Good
      - **Collections of data**
        - Organized datasets for analysis
        - E.g., customer purchase histories in CRM
      

Reduce Text

  • Reduce text keeping the structure of the bullets untouched
    • Write directly to the audience using "you"
    • Be concise: remove filler words (e.g., "the", "that", "very")
    • Use active voice (e.g., "Improve accuracy," not "Accuracy can be improved")
    • Prefer short phrases over full sentences
  • Delete a whole bullet point outright when it is unclear or adds no information beyond a nearby bullet, rather than trying to trim it
    • E.g., for a slide in input like:
      * Slide title
      - This is a very long bullet point that is not clear and should be removed
      - This is a clear bullet point that should be kept
      
      the output is:
      * Slide title
      - This is a clear bullet point that should be kept
      

Example

  • Input
    - **Collections of data**
      - Aggregated, organized data sets for analysis
      - E.g., customer purchase histories in a CRM system
    
    - **Descriptive statistics**
      - Summary metrics: mean, median, mode, standard deviation
      - E.g., average sales per quarter to understand trends
    
    - **Historical reports**
      - Examination of _past performance_
      - E.g., monthly sales reports for past fiscal year
    
    - **Dashboards**
      - Visual displays of key metrics for insights
      - E.g., dashboard showing quarterly revenue, expenses
    
    - **Models**
      - Statistical representations to _forecast, explain phenomena_
      - E.g., model to anticipate customer churn based on behavioral data

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.
