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 C, and why

slide-upgrade scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Slide Upgrade

Convert any input — PPTX, Markdown, or a plain prompt — into a visually stunning, Canva-quality HTML slide deck. Images are base64-encoded into the HTML; videos (too large for inline embedding) are copied to a media/ folder alongside the HTML with relative path references. The output looks like it was designed in Canva or Figma, not PowerPoint.

Design Philosophy

The output should feel like a contemporary creative portfolio or Canva template, not a corporate PowerPoint. Key principles:

  • Massive, bold typography — headings should dominate the slide (100-200px, condensed, uppercase)
  • Full-colour backgrounds — bold yellow, deep blue, rich black, vibrant red — not just white
  • Confident whitespace — don't fill every pixel; let elements breathe
  • Photo-forward layouts — images bleed to edges, use geometric crops (circles, arches, diagonals)
  • Visual hierarchy through scale — the difference between heading and body should be dramatic (5-10x)
  • Slide numbering — prominent slide numbers (01, 02, 03) add editorial structure
  • Horizontal rules — use lines to separate and structure content, not boxes
  • Type as hero — on many slides, the typography IS the design; no images needed

Inputs

PPTX File

  1. Unzip the PPTX and parse the raw XML (see references/pptx-extractor.md) — do not use python-pptx, it misses videos, shape-fill images, and SVGs
  2. Read each slide XML to extract text, images, videos, tables, and backgrounds
  3. Redesign from scratch — don't try to replicate the PPTX layout; reimagine it with Canva-quality design
  4. Base64-encode images for self-contained HTML; copy videos to a media/ folder alongside the HTML with relative path references

Markdown File

  1. Read the .md file
  2. Split on --- horizontal rules for slide breaks (if present)
  3. If no explicit breaks, use heading hierarchy: # H1 = section dividers, ## H2 = individual slides
  4. Parse content per slide, then design

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.
