What is slides.fix_formatting?

A slide-formatting helper that applies required tags, emphasis, punctuation, LaTeX notation, and character rules without changing the slide content or structure. LaTeX is a markup system often used for mathematical notation.

Use it to add missing section tags, apply bold or italic text, replace unsupported characters, and correct slide-specific formatting.

It fixes presentation-format inconsistencies while keeping the original ideas and slide arrangement intact.

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	$0.00000	$0.00564
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00226
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00113

Security

Grade A, and why

slides.fix_formatting 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 yesterday.

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

Goal

Given a markdown file with slides, fix formatting and add missing semantic tags, bold, and italic markup, without changing content or structure
Read .claude/skills/slides.rules.md and apply its formatting rules strictly

Workflow

Role

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

What to Fix

Semantic tags and bold labels: Ensure every first-level bullet starts with an approved @Tag@ label
- See .claude/skills/slides.rules.md, section ## Use Tags for Slide Sections, for the approved tags and ordering
- Add a missing tag when a first-level bullet has none. Do not invent a tag outside the approved list
Bold and italic emphasis: Apply **bold** and _italic_ where the rules call for them
- See .claude/skills/slides.rules.md, sections ## Use Bold and ## Use Italic
- When both apply to the same phrase, bold wins: see .claude/skills/slides.rules.md, section ### Emphasis Precedence: Bold Over Italic
Unicode characters: Replace non-ASCII characters with LaTeX equivalents
- See .claude/skills/slides.rules.md, sections ## General Formatting Rules and ### Symbols and Characters
Emoji: Remove emoji per .claude/skills/slides.rules.md, section ## General Formatting Rules
Page separators: Remove --- lines per .claude/skills/slides.rules.md, sections ## General Formatting Rules and ### Spacing and Breaks
Punctuation: Remove trailing periods from bullet point phrases per .claude/skills/slides.rules.md, section ## Slide Structure

Leave Structure and Content Unchanged

Do not change the structure (titles, bullet hierarchy, div fenced blocks)
Do not change the substantive content. Change only formatting

Output

Emit the improved output in markdown, wrapped to 80 columns (see .claude/skills/slides.rules.md, section ## Use 80 columns), with no other comment

Verification

Make sure that the updated slides render correctly, e.g.,

> gen_slides.py -i <FILE> --notes_to_pdf_args="--skip_action open_pdf"

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.
