Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00019 | $0.05275 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.02638 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.01055 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00528 |
Grade B, and why
powerpoint scanned grade B 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 9d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
which soffice || sudo apt install -y libreoffice # rendering/QA This is a copy
86% identical to pptx — 76 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 257 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Powerpoint Skill
Create, read, and edit PowerPoint decks — from-scratch generation with pptxgenjs, template-based editing via direct XML manipulation, speaker notes, charts, and design QA. A .pptx is a ZIP archive of XML files.
When to Use
Use this skill any time a .pptx or .potx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading or extracting text from any .pptx; editing existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates (.potx), layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions "deck," "slides," "presentation," or references a .pptx/.potx filename.
Prerequisites
npm ls pptxgenjs --depth=0 2>/dev/null | grep -q pptxgenjs || npm install pptxgenjs
pip install "markitdown[pptx]" Pillow defusedxml lxml
which soffice || sudo apt install -y libreoffice # rendering/QA
which pdftoppm || sudo apt install -y poppler-utils # PDF → images
macOS: brew install libreoffice poppler. Icons in generated decks additionally use react-icons react react-dom sharp (npm).
Quick Reference
| Task | Approach |
|---|---|
| Create a new deck | Write a pptxgenjs script — see gotchas below |
| Edit an existing deck, or build from a template | unzip → edit ppt/slides/slideN.xml → zip |
| Read content | markitdown deck.pptx (one block per slide under <!-- Slide number: N --> markers); visual grid: python scripts/thumbnail.py deck.pptx |
Scripts
Paths are relative to this skill's directory. Everything else is plain Python, node, or shell.
| Script | What it does |
|---|---|
scripts/thumbnail.py deck.pptx [prefix] |
Labeled grid of every slide, for picking template layouts. .pptx only. Pass prefix — it defaults to thumbnails, which overwrites the grids of any other deck done in the same directory |
scripts/add_slide.py unpacked/ slide2.xml [--after slideN.xml] |
Duplicate a slide (or a slideLayoutN.xml) with all the package bookkeeping. Also takes a .pptx directly with -o out.pptx |
scripts/clean.py unpacked/ |
Delete slides, media, and rels no longer referenced. Run after <p:sldIdLst> is final |
scripts/office/validate.py deck.pptx [--original src.pptx] |
Schema, relationship, content-type, chart and slide checks; each failure names its fix. Pass --original for any template-derived deck — it baselines the schema checks against the template, so the template's own XSD errors don't read as yours |
scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to pdf deck.pptx |
LibreOffice wrapper — bare soffice hangs in sandboxed environments |

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.
- 9d ago First seen · 257 lines · 19 tokens per session scan B a81d5c61b844
powerpoint is a skill published in the GitHub repository MilkyWay008/Hermes-OTG (15 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 5,275 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). It is 86% identical to pptx, differing in 76 lines, and is treated as a copy.
