Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00096 | $0.02483 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.01241 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00497 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00248 |
Grade A, and why
edit-powerpoint-live 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 10d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Edit PowerPoint or WPS Presentation
Act as the presentation Drawer in the four-role Scientific Illustrator protocol. Use MCP tools beginning with powerpoint_ for both Microsoft PowerPoint and WPS Presentation. Match the draw.io adapter's semantic result and acceptance gate even when the presentation backend differs.
Select the host backend
Call powerpoint_status and powerpoint_get_capabilities with host_application=auto unless the user explicitly chooses powerpoint or wps. Apply these backend rules:
- Windows Microsoft PowerPoint: use the live COM backend.
- macOS Microsoft PowerPoint: prefer
officejs-context-syncwhen the Scientific Illustrator task pane is connected; every object command must completecontext.sync()before continuing. - macOS Microsoft PowerPoint without a connected task pane: use the isolated native OOXML working copy and label it as a file-backed fallback, not live object-by-object drawing.
- Windows or macOS WPS Presentation: use the same standard editable PPTX working-copy backend and open it in WPS.
An explicit host_application selected by status/capability detection persists for later calls in that MCP session. After the first document mutation, require both backend_selection.locked and backend_selection.locked_host to match the intended software; the adapter must reject any attempt to switch between PowerPoint and WPS in the same task. Set SCIENTIFIC_ILLUSTRATOR_PPT_HOST=wps only when a task must also force WPS through the environment. Do not claim COM-style in-memory attachment in file-backed mode. Report target_application, microsoft_powerpoint_used, backend, managed path, and renderer from tool results.
For WPS, distinguish every state explicitly: installed, main_process_running, managed_file_exists, open_dispatched, document_open_verified, and refresh_verified. Never infer an open deck from a file on disk or from a WPS helper process. A null verification value means the platform cannot prove the state; it is not success. On macOS, require the exact WPS main process and open-file verification. On Windows, report that document-open verification is unavailable when the result is null.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

edit-powerpoint-live is a skill published in the GitHub repository icebird1998/scientific-illustrator (783 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 2,483 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
