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

pptx-translator 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 12d 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.

Purpose

This skill translates PowerPoint presentations (.pptx) between any two languages while preserving the original formatting, layout, fonts, and structure. It uses parallel sub-agent translation (one agent per slide), per-slide validation with automatic retry, recursive group-shape traversal, and a single fast write-back pass.

When to Use This Skill

  • User provides a .pptx file and wants it translated to another language
  • User needs to translate a PowerPoint from Portuguese to English or vice versa
  • User needs to translate slides between any language pair (Spanish, French, German, Japanese, etc.)
  • User wants to translate speaker/presenter notes alongside slide content
  • User asks to "translate", "traduzir", or "convert language" of a PowerPoint or .pptx file

Step 0: Dependency Setup (Silent)

Check dependencies silently. Do NOT ask for confirmation — install automatically with --user and inform the user only of what was installed.

python3 -c "import pptx" 2>/dev/null || pip install --user python-pptx -q && echo "Installed python-pptx"

If installation fails (e.g. no pip, restricted environment), ask the user once: "python-pptx is required. Preferred install method: (a) pip install --user, (b) existing venv path, (c) manual?"

Step 1: Single Consolidated Confirmation

Infer all parameters from the user's request. Ask only for what is truly ambiguous. Then display one confirmation box and proceed immediately after the user confirms. Do NOT ask again.

Parameters to infer or confirm:

  1. Source file path — validate it exists and has .pptx extension
  2. Source language — infer from user's request (e.g. "translate from Portuguese"); if not stated, the AI classifier sub-agent (Step 2) will determine it automatically
  3. Target language — infer from request; ask if not specified
  4. Backup mode — default Safe (output saved as new file); YOLO only if user explicitly says so
  5. Speaker notes — default Yes (translate alongside slides)
  6. Output filename — resolved interactively in Step 1.5 (after this confirmation box); default is {stem}_{target_lang_code}.pptx

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.
