slide-deck

slide-deck is a skill for Claude Code from larsboes/Axon. It costs 185 tokens per session (3,261 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python-based tool for building and maintaining PowerPoint slide decks in .pptx format. It supports academic talk formats, speaker notes, rendering, readiness checks, timing, and handout creation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating academic presentations, checking their rendered slides, adding notes, estimating talk timing, and producing handouts.
Why use it?
It gives a repeatable way to build, inspect, rehearse, and prepare a presentation instead of handling each step manually.

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-deck 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 15 executable files (assets/deck.template.py, scripts/deckkit/__init__.py, scripts/deckkit/__main__.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 267 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Slide deck

A deck states an argument with pictures. This skill gives you the mechanism and the judgment. The mechanism is a theme, layout archetypes, a deterministic build, a render pass and a rehearsal pass. The judgment is what each slide owes the next one, and what an academic talk is judged on.

All content lives in the user's own deck directory. This skill holds mechanism only.

The tool surface is <skill>/scripts/deck build|check|render|readiness|timing|handout|themes|init. Python runs through uv. The launcher pins the dependencies.

How this skill works with the others

Four skills share this ground. Each one owns a different thing, and the boundaries are worth stating.

skill owns
academic-writing The argument in the paper or thesis, and the constructs a talk must render: contribution types, the validity taxonomy, the citation discipline.
human-writing The prose a person reads. Notes, README text and any explanatory writing in the deck should pass its scanner.
asd-ste100 Text that a machine parses without a person to resolve ambiguity. Error messages, tool descriptions, and the instruction files of this skill.
unslop Source code and web interfaces.
diagrams A Mermaid source and the figure it renders to. It derives the renderer theme from this skill's theme.json, so a diagram cannot land in a deck in different colours.
this skill The deck module, the theme, the layout, the speaker notes and the rehearsal passes.

Two consequences follow.

The instruction files in this skill follow the asd-ste100 structural rules, because an agent parses them. The sentences are short and active, each sentence carries one instruction, and the files use no semicolons.

The talk's own words belong to the user. When a deck reads as machine-written, hand the notes and the slide text to human-writing. When the argument is unclear, hand the source document to academic-writing. This skill does not rewrite the user's argument.

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.

slide-deck is a skill published in the GitHub repository larsboes/Axon (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 185 tokens to every session and 3,261 once invoked, about $0.0009 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 2026-09-15.
