pptx is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CODE-SAURABH/OpenSkills. It costs 86 tokens per session (2,969 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for creating, editing, reading, and designing PowerPoint presentations, which are slide decks stored in .pptx files. It supports both the presentation content and its visual structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create pitch decks and stakeholder presentations, edit existing slides, extract slide content, design charts and visual layouts, and convert presentations to PDF.
Why use it?
It helps organize information so each slide has a clear purpose and remains understandable when viewed without a presenter. It also provides practical ways to update existing decks or convert them to PDF.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00086 $0.02969
Opus 5.5 $0.00034 $0.01188

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 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 — 320 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PowerPoint Presentation (.pptx)

A .pptx file is a ZIP archive of XML files. You can create, edit, and read them programmatically. Choose the right approach for the task:

Task Approach
Create a new deck pptxgenjs (Node) or python-pptx (Python)
Edit an existing deck Unzip → edit slide XML → rezip
Read content from a deck markitdown deck.pptx or unzip and parse XML
Convert to PDF LibreOffice headless

Presentation Principles

  • Every slide has one job. A slide that makes three points makes zero. Split ruthlessly.
  • Text-only slides are forgettable. Every slide needs at least one visual element — chart, image, icon, data callout, or diagram.
  • The deck must work without the speaker. Async decks (sent via email, read without a presenter) need more text and context than live-presentation decks.
  • Visual hierarchy over bullet points. A large number + small label communicates faster than a sentence. A 2x2 grid communicates relationships better than a list.
  • Commit to a visual direction and hold it. One font pair. One color palette. One layout style. Inconsistency signals lack of polish.
  • AI slop is obvious. Cream backgrounds, accent stripes along card edges, Inter/Roboto with no rationale, blue CTA buttons, centered body text — these are trust killers. Avoid all of them.

Step 0: Before Creating

Ask the user:

  1. What is the deck for? (investor pitch, all-hands, client presentation, technical review, sales demo)
  2. Who is the audience? (technical, executive, external client, general team)
  3. How many slides? Or: what content needs to be covered?
  4. Brand constraints? (specific colors, fonts, logo to include)
  5. Output format? (.pptx to edit further, or PDF to send)
  6. Presenting live or sending async? (changes text density and speaker notes needs)

Creating with pptxgenjs (Node/TypeScript)

Setup

# pptxgenjs is often pre-installed — try require first
node -e "require('pptxgenjs')" 2>/dev/null && echo "installed" || npm install pptxgenjs

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.
