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

html-presentations 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 1 executable file (scripts/create_standalone.sh), 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.

HTML Presentations

Convert a markdown spec file into an HTML presentation using the Poimandres-themed template.

Files

  • Template: {SKILLBASE}/template/index.html
  • Example spec: {SKILLBASE}/examples/spec.md
  • Build script: {SKILLBASE}/scripts/create_standalone.sh

Instructions

  1. Read the spec markdown file (e.g., spec.md)

  2. Read the template at {SKILLBASE}/template/index.html

  3. Parse the spec file:

    • Split on * * * to get individual slides
    • # Title = title slide (use <h1>)
    • ## Heading = slide heading (use <h2>)
    • - item = bullet list (use <ul><li>)
    • **bold** = emphasis (use <span class="accent"> or <span class="green">)
    • > quote = blockquote (use <blockquote class="quote">)
    • <img src="..."> = image (keep as-is, add class="shadow" if appropriate)
    • ```mermaid ``` = mermaid diagram (wrap in <div class="mermaid-wrapper"><pre class="mermaid">)
    • <!-- image gallery - VERTICAL --> = split images into separate slides (one per slide)
    • <!-- comment --> = other layout hints (e.g., <!-- big quote -->)
  4. Generate HTML slides:

    • Each slide is a <section class="slide"> (add centered class for title/image slides)
    • Preserve the template's head section (styles, scripts, mermaid config)
    • Preserve the navigation and script at the bottom
  5. Write output to index.html in the same directory as the spec, offer to open it using Bash for the user

  6. OPTIONAL Create standalone shareable HTML:

    • Run the build script to embed all PNG images as base64 data URIs
    • Output: FOLDERNAME-standalone.html (e.g., 2026-01-05-luciq-presentation-standalone.html)
    • Creates a single self-contained file (~2-3MB) that opens in any browser
    {SKILLBASE}/scripts/create_standalone.sh /path/to/presentation/folder
    

Slide Type Examples

Title Slide

<section class="slide centered">
  <h1>Presentation Title</h1>
  <p class="subtitle">Subtitle here</p>
</section>

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.
