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

scientific-slides 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/generate_schematic_ai.py, scripts/generate_schematic.py, scripts/generate_slide_image_ai.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.

Scientific Slides

Overview

Scientific presentations are a critical medium for communicating research, sharing findings, and engaging with academic and professional audiences. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for creating effective scientific presentations, from structure and content development to visual design and delivery preparation.

Key Focus: Oral presentations for conferences, seminars, defenses, and professional talks.

CRITICAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: Scientific presentations should be VISUALLY ENGAGING and RESEARCH-BACKED. Avoid dry, text-heavy slides at all costs. Great scientific presentations combine:

  • Compelling visuals: High-quality figures, images, diagrams (not just bullet points)
  • Research context: Proper citations from research-lookup establishing credibility
  • Minimal text: Bullet points as prompts, YOU provide the explanation verbally
  • Professional design: Modern color schemes, strong visual hierarchy, generous white space
  • Story-driven: Clear narrative arc, not just data dumps

Remember: Boring presentations = forgotten science. Make your slides visually memorable while maintaining scientific rigor through proper citations.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Preparing conference presentations (5-20 minutes)
  • Developing academic seminars (45-60 minutes)
  • Creating thesis or dissertation defense presentations
  • Designing grant pitch presentations
  • Preparing journal club presentations
  • Giving research talks at institutions or companies
  • Teaching or tutorial presentations on scientific topics

Slide Generation with Nano Banana Pro

This skill uses Nano Banana Pro AI to generate stunning presentation slides automatically.

There are two workflows depending on output format:

Default Workflow: PDF Slides (Recommended)

Generate each slide as a complete image using Nano Banana Pro, then combine into a PDF. This produces the most visually stunning results.

How it works:

  1. Plan the deck: Create a detailed plan for each slide (title, key points, visual elements)
  2. Generate slides: Call Nano Banana Pro for each slide to create complete slide images
  3. Combine to PDF: Assemble slide images into a single PDF presentation
