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

slide-automation 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.

Slide Automation

From markdown to deck — reproducible, version-controlled presentations.

This skill automates the creation of research presentations from structured content. It eliminates manual copy-pasting, ensures consistency, and makes slides version-controllable alongside your research.

"Your slides should be as reproducible as your experiments." — Researcher's Maxim


1. When to Automate Slides

Use Cases

Scenario Tool Output
Paper → Conference talk python-pptx .pptx with figures auto-inserted
Thesis → Defense slides LaTeX Beamer .pdf with precise typography
Markdown → Quick deck Marp .html or .pdf from markdown
Web-based presentation reveal.js Interactive HTML slides
Recurring reports python-pptx Template-based monthly updates

When NOT to Automate

  • One-off, highly designed pitch deck → Use Keynote/PowerPoint manually
  • Creative storytelling presentation → Manual design for emotional impact
  • Rapid iteration with designer → Figma/Sketch collaboration

2. Tool Comparison

Tool Format Best For Learning Curve Collaboration
python-pptx .pptx Data-heavy, figure-rich talks Low Git-friendly
LaTeX Beamer .pdf Academic defense, math-heavy Medium Git-friendly
Marp .md → .pdf/.html Quick markdown-based decks Very low Git-friendly
reveal.js .html Interactive web presentations Low Git-friendly
Quarto .qmd → multiple Reproducible research reports Medium Git-friendly

from pptx.enum.text import PP_ALIGN, MSO_ANCHOR

# Create presentation
prs = Presentation()
prs.slide_width = Inches(13.333)  # 16:9
prs.slide_height = Inches(7.5)

# Add title slide
blank_layout = prs.slide_layouts[6]  # Blank layout
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(blank_layout)

# Add title
title_box = slide.shapes.add_textbox(Inches(1), Inches(2.5), Inches(11.333), Inches(1.5))
tf = title_box.text_frame
tf.text = "Federated Learning for Medical AI"
p = tf.paragraphs[0]
p.font.size = Pt(44)
p.font.bold = True
p.font.color.rgb = RgbColor(0x1a, 0x1a, 0x1a)
p.alignment = PP_ALIGN.CENTER

# Add subtitle
sub_box = slide.shapes.add_textbox(Inches(1), Inches(4.2), Inches(11.333), Inches(1))
tf = sub_box.text_frame
tf.text = "Privacy-Preserving Collaborative Training"
p = tf.paragraphs[0]
p.font.size = Pt(24)
p.font.color.rgb = RgbColor(0x66, 0x66, 0x66)

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.
