Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Prompt Injection · line 61 Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.Fix: Audit all comments and invisible characters. Remove any instructions that direct the agent to perform unauthorized actions. Use plain, reviewable content.

Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.Fix: Remove instructions that suppress warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Let the agent surface safety-relevant caveats to the user.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00081 | $0.01462 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00731 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00292 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00146 |
Grade A, and why
marp-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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
MARP Slides Skill
Author slide decks as plain Markdown using the MARP ecosystem (Marpit + Marp Core + marp-cli) and export to PDF, PowerPoint, or self-contained HTML. Decks are single .md files, git-friendly, and themable with plain CSS.
When This Skill Triggers
- User asks for a MARP deck by name
- User wants "markdown slides" or "slides from markdown"
- User wants a
.mdfile they can commit to git and regenerate deterministically - User mentions
marp-cli, Marpit directives, or asks to theme slides with CSS - User wants CLI-exportable PDF or PPTX sourced from a text document
When NOT to Use This Skill
| User wants | Use instead |
|---|---|
| Reveal.js / browser-native HTML presentation with scroll nav | html-presentation |
Edit a binary .pptx with native PowerPoint features (animations, transitions set in PowerPoint) |
document-skills:pptx |
| Static poster or single-page visual | concept-to-image |
| Animated explainer video | concept-to-video |
Step 0: Gather Requirements
Before generating anything, confirm in a single message. Use defaults silently for anything the user declines to specify — never ask twice.
| Parameter | Options | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Export target | pdf, pptx, html, all |
pdf |
| Theme | dark-dashboard, light-editorial, or MARP built-in (default, gaia, uncover) |
dark-dashboard |
| Aspect ratio | 16:9, 4:3 |
16:9 |
| Slide count | integer or auto |
auto |
| Visual density | minimal (text-first), standard (mixed), dashboard (charts + metric cards) |
standard |
| Branding | logo path, accent color hex | none |
Step 1: Load References On-Demand
Do NOT read all reference files up front. Based on user intent, load only what is needed. This keeps the skill within armory's token-efficiency budget.
| User intent | Load |
|---|---|
| Any deck (always required) | references/DIRECTIVES.md — Marpit directives, frontmatter schema, image syntax |
| Custom theme or CSS styling | references/THEMES.md — dark-dashboard and light-editorial starter CSS |
| Charts, dashboards, metric cards, SVG visuals | references/COMPONENTS.md — SVG chart recipes, cards, status tags, icons |
| Export to PDF/PPTX/HTML or image | references/EXPORT.md — marp-cli flags, Chrome dependency, --html flag |
| User wants a concrete example to match | references/examples/ — 3 curated decks: dashboard.md, editorial.md, technical.md |
What ships with it
8 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.
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.
