pptx-reference-deck-analysis

A read-only tool for examining a PowerPoint file (PPTX) as design evidence. It records slide structure, text, styles, layouts, themes, and other presentation details without changing the source.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect slide dimensions, typography, colors, layout patterns, templates, placeholders, and package-level PowerPoint details.
Why use it?
It helps you understand how a reference presentation is built before creating a new editable deck, while keeping the original untouched.

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-reference-deck-analysis 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/inspect.py, scripts/unpack.py, scripts/validate_package.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

PPTX Reference Deck Analysis

Inspect a reference deck as design evidence. This skill never copies, clones, or mutates a source deck.

Contract

Implement required extraction on demand with a small task-local python-pptx script. Capture only the information required for the new deck:

  • compact prompt context: slide count and size, text summaries, shape counts, styles, brand signals, template use, and layout rhythm;
  • full extraction: summary, slides, and read-only layout_tree evidence;
  • folder diagnostics: one result per deck plus a manifest;
  • style-master analysis: colors, fonts, size distribution, master/layout use, and flow patterns;
  • derived template catalog: zero-based source indices, layout roles, usable regions, placeholders, visual structures, and constraints.

Rules

  • Keep the source deck read-only and independently author every target-slide coordinate.
  • Use the bundled OOXML utilities only for raw themes, relationships, notes, comments, animations, media, masters, or layouts that high-level extraction cannot expose.
  • Record inspected parts and parsing exceptions in the analysis manifest.
  • Do not use extracted content, fonts, images, or proprietary assets in a generated deck without explicit permission and license evidence.

OOXML package inspection

Install defusedxml from requirements.txt before using the bundled utilities.

  1. Run scripts/inspect.py <deck.pptx> for a compact JSON report of slide order, text, theme tokens, relationships, notes, comments, animations, and media.
  2. Run scripts/validate_package.py <deck.pptx> --output <report.json> for malformed XML, broken internal relationships, content-type gaps, duplicate layout links, and orphaned parts.
  3. Run scripts/unpack.py <deck.pptx> <output-dir> only when raw-package evidence is necessary.
  4. Resolve relationship targets relative to the .rels owner; never infer slide order from filenames.

Safety

  • Never modify a supplied deck or blindly copy package parts into a new deck.
  • Run the scripts from a trusted workspace; they reject path traversal, symlinks, oversized members, and archive bombs.
  • Parse untrusted XML with defusedxml; do not enable entity expansion, DTD loading, or network access.
  • Treat theme colors as tokens unless fully resolved against the color scheme.

Files

What ships with it

7 files 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.

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.

pptx-reference-deck-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository kimtth/agent-pptify-kit (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 572 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
