general-presentation

A tool for turning simulation results—such as charts, tables, and settings—into PowerPoint slides with Python scripts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create title, section, image, text, and table slides for presenting simulation findings.
Why use it?
It removes the need to build each slide layout by hand and makes it easier to revise the presentation as the results change.

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

general-presentation 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 2 executable files (examples/amorphorization/amorphorization_slides.py, scripts/slide_utils.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.

Presentation Generation

Goal

Create professional PowerPoint presentations from simulation results (plots, tables, parameters) using python-pptx. The agent writes standalone Python scripts using a helper library, enabling direct iteration with the user on the script to refine slides.

Instructions

1. Import the Helper Library

All scripts should import slide_utils from this skill:

# Env: base-agent
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, ".agents/skills/general-presentation/scripts")
from slide_utils import *

2. Build Slides Using Helper Functions

Available functions:

Function Purpose
create_presentation(title, subtitle, author) Create a new presentation with a styled title slide
add_title_slide(prs, title, subtitle) Additional title/divider slides
add_section_slide(prs, title) Section divider (colored background)
add_image_slide(prs, title, image_path, caption, notes) Single image/plot slide
add_two_image_slide(prs, title, left_img, right_img, ...) Side-by-side images
add_image_and_text_slide(prs, title, image_path, text, ...) Image + text layout
add_table_slide(prs, title, headers, rows) Data table slide
add_bullets_slide(prs, title, bullets) Bullet point slide
add_autofit_box(slide, left, top, height, text, bg_color) Add a colored box that auto-scales width to text
save_presentation(prs, path) Save to .pptx file

Every builder function returns the Slide (or Shape) object, allowing further customization with raw python-pptx calls if needed.

3. Customize the Theme (Optional)

Override the THEME dictionary before building slides:

from slide_utils import *
THEME["primary"] = RGBColor(0x00, 0x50, 0x80)
THEME["font_family"] = "Arial"

4. Save and Iterate Visually

save_presentation(prs, "output.pptx")

The agent edits the Python script and re-runs to reflect changes. CRITICAL ITERATION LOOP: The agent MUST visually inspect the generated slides using their VLM capabilities to ensure elements do not overlap, text fits perfectly within boxes, and the slide space is used efficiently with a universal, professional design style.

Files

What ships with it

6 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.

general-presentation is a skill published in the GitHub repository learningmatter-mit/AtomisticSkills (154 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 980 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
