pptx-maker

A tool for creating or restyling PowerPoint presentation files. It supports drafts, detailed deck planning, slide composition, and reusable visual styles through dedicated agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new .pptx deck, edit its visual style, build slides from source material, or create a reusable presentation style guide.
Why use it?
It provides a defined workflow for turning text, a URL, or a brief into a presentation instead of assembling every slide by hand.

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-maker 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.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PPTX Maker

Builds real .pptx files through the PPTX Maker app, which wraps the public spec-driven-presentation-maker engine. The engine's tools are exposed as the @sdpm/* MCP tool family, and they are only available inside this app's own agents — so slide generation happens by switching to one of those agents, not by calling the tools from a general chat session.

Which agent to use

Agent Use it for
pptx-maker-spec An important deck. Works through a brief, an outline and an art direction with the user, then delegates composition.
pptx-maker-vibe A fast draft from a URL, pasted text, or a one-line brief. Few questions.
pptx-maker-composer Slide composition itself — invoked as a sub-agent by the two above, not directly.
pptx-maker-style Creating a reusable style guide through conversation.

If the user asks for a presentation in an ordinary chat session, point them at the PPTX Maker page in the dashboard: the studio there runs these agents beside a live preview of each deliverable, which is the experience the app is built around. Generating a deck outside it works but shows the user nothing until the file lands.

How a deck gets built

  1. The agent calls @sdpm/init_presentation to create the deck directory.
  2. It writes specs/brief.md, then specs/outline.md, then the art direction. The studio shows each file as it appears, so write them as you finish them rather than all at the end.
  3. Slides are composed one at a time into slides/<slug>.json and rendered to compose/<slug>_<epoch>.json.
  4. @sdpm/generate_pptx writes output.pptx in the deck directory.

The outline's - [slug] lines are what determine slide order, so keep that format.

Styles and templates

  • A style is an HTML document describing the visual direction. Apply one by name; a pinned style is the default when the user does not name one.
  • A template is a .pptx whose slide layouts supply structure, theme colours and fonts.

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-maker is a skill published in the GitHub repository kirodotdev/KiroCrew (3,532 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 722 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.
