pptx

pptx is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from holon-run/holon. It costs 30 tokens per session (826 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for creating, inspecting, editing, rendering, and checking PowerPoint presentation files. It uses local open-source tools and keeps the original file unchanged by default.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build decks, inspect slide content and structure, make limited edits, render slides for review, and create charts or tables from supplied data.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of damaging presentation content or claiming that unsupported features, such as animations or embedded media, were preserved.

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 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.

Summary

Use this skill for .pptx presentation work. Prefer PptxGenJS for new, layout-driven decks and python-pptx for inspection or bounded edits. Use an available local LibreOffice or compatible renderer for visual validation.

This is a workflow and safety contract, not a presentation engine. Probe the actual environment before choosing a backend.

When To Use

  • Creating a presentation from an outline, document, data set, or template
  • Inspecting slide text, structure, notes, images, charts, or metadata
  • Making bounded changes to an existing deck
  • Rendering a deck to PDF or images for review
  • Producing charts or tables from operator-provided data

Safety Boundaries

  • Keep the input unchanged and write a new .pptx by default.
  • Treat hyperlinks, media, macros, embedded objects, and package metadata as untrusted input.
  • Never execute VBA, embedded programs, OLE actions, or linked content.
  • Ask before downloading linked assets or uploading deck content.
  • Do not claim lossless editing when a deck contains animations, SmartArt, embedded media, custom XML, unsupported charts, signatures, or unknown parts.

For an existing deck, inventory those features before saving it. If the chosen library cannot preserve important features, use read-only analysis, rebuild a new deck, or request manual Office editing instead.

Backend Selection

  • Prefer PptxGenJS for new presentations requiring explicit placement, reusable layouts, shapes, images, tables, or charts.
  • Prefer python-pptx for reading common slide content and small edits whose affected elements are represented by its object model.
  • Use LibreOffice headless only when installed and approved as a local renderer or converter. Record that it is not Microsoft PowerPoint.
  • Use local image tooling for montage or pixel inspection when available.

Do not silently install Node, Python packages, LibreOffice, fonts, or other system dependencies. Report the missing capability and the safe fallback.

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.
