A guide and toolkit for creating, reading, editing, and inspecting PowerPoint presentation files. It covers slide content, templates, layouts, and converting presentations for visual review.

It is for making or modifying slide decks, extracting their content, analysing templates, and checking generated presentations.

It provides a defined workflow for changing presentations while checking both their text and visual appearance.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00152	$0.02462
Opus 5	$0.00076	$0.01231
Sonnet 5	$0.00030	$0.00492
Haiku 4.5	$0.00015	$0.00246

Security

Grade A, and why

pptx 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 16 executable files (scripts/__init__.py, scripts/add_slide.py, scripts/clean.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.

Runtime Dependencies

Requires LibreOffice (soffice) for presentation-to-PDF conversion.
Requires Poppler (pdftoppm) for PDF-to-image conversion used by thumbnail/visual workflows.
If pdftoppm is unavailable, a Python fallback path may use pdf2image.
On Windows, dependencies must be installed and available in PATH; if missing, report the dependency issue and stop (do not keep retrying).

Design Ideas

Don't create boring slides. Plain bullets on a white background won't impress anyone. Consider ideas from this list for each slide.

Before Starting

Pick a bold, content-informed color palette: The palette should feel designed for THIS topic. If swapping your colors into a completely different presentation would still "work," you haven't made specific enough choices.
Dominance over equality: One color should dominate (60-70% visual weight), with 1-2 supporting tones and one sharp accent. Never give all colors equal weight.
Dark/light contrast: Dark backgrounds for title + conclusion slides, light for content ("sandwich" structure). Or commit to dark throughout for a premium feel.
Commit to a visual motif: Pick ONE distinctive element and repeat it — rounded image frames, icons in colored circles, thick single-side borders. Carry it across every slide.

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.
