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 C, and why

poster-slides-maker scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 317 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

The poster-slides-maker skill generates publication-quality presentation materials from academic papers. It produces standalone HTML files that work in any browser with no dependencies—all resources are loaded from CDN. The skill supports generating:

  • Slides — Interactive reveal.js presentations with speaker notes, optimized for export to PDF
  • Poster — Single-page responsive HTML poster with grid layout, suitable for printing at A0 or display on screen
  • Both — Generate slides and poster in one command

All output files are self-contained and can be opened immediately in any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

Arguments

<paper-path> (required) Path to the source material: either a PDF file (paper.pdf) or a LaTeX project main file (main.tex).

--type (optional, default: both) What to generate: slides, poster, or both.

--template (optional) Path to a custom HTML template to match your desired style. If provided, the generated slides or poster will adopt the color scheme, fonts, and CSS patterns from this template.

--pages (optional, default: 10) Target number of slides. Used to scale the method and results sections. For example, --pages 15 will expand the presentation with more detailed methodology and results breakdown.

Workflow

The skill executes five sequential steps to transform raw academic content into polished presentation materials.

Step 1: Extract Content

From PDF input:

  • Read the PDF with pagination to handle large documents (pages 1-20, then 21-40, etc.)
  • Extract text, identify section boundaries, and locate references

From LaTeX input:

  • Read all .tex files in the project directory and subdirectories
  • Parse the structure to identify: title, author list, affiliations, abstract, sections, subsections
  • Identify all figure and table references

Extract these key elements:

  • Paper title
  • All author names
  • Institutional affiliations for each author
  • Abstract text
  • Section structure and headings
  • Key equations (preserve as displayed in the original)
  • Main results: important numbers, benchmark scores, accuracy metrics
  • Tables with experimental results
  • Key citations (extract author + year + title)
  • Conclusion and future work sections

Changes

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.
