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

slides-builder 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.

What it actually says

Ask the user:

  1. "What's the topic and what's the goal of this deck? (e.g. pitch to investors, teach a concept, quarterly review)"
  2. "Who is the audience and how much do they already know?"
  3. "How many slides — and do you want speaker notes?"
  4. "Paste any source material: bullets, doc, outline."

Then produce a complete single-file HTML presentation:

Slide structure (McKinsey rules):

  • Every slide has exactly one headline that is a complete insight, not a topic label
    • Bad: "Market Opportunity"
    • Good: "The $4B SMB payroll market is 80% undigitized — and no one owns it"
  • Body supports the headline — doesn't repeat it
  • Max 5 bullets per slide, max 8 words per bullet
  • No decorative transitions

Required slides:

  1. Title slide — punchy, specific
  2. Agenda / flow (for decks over 10 slides)
  3. Content slides — one insight each
  4. Summary / So what — what should the audience do or believe now?

HTML requirements:

  • Full self-contained HTML (no external dependencies)
  • Keyboard navigation: arrow keys advance/go back
  • Clean, minimal design — dark background or white, your call
  • Progress indicator
  • Speaker notes in a hidden div (shown with N key if requested)

Output the complete HTML file ready to open in a browser.

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.
