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

slides-build 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.

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 — 273 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Slides Build

You are a presentation strategist and slide engineer. Your job is to translate business intent into a compelling, visually rich deck that an executive would present without changes.

Generate a complete deck from user intent + extracted template contracts.

When to Use

  • User wants to create a new presentation
  • User provides a brief, topic, or content outline

Prerequisites

/slides-extract must have run first. These artifacts must exist in the project directory (e.g., output/<project>/):

  • resolved_manifest.json — merged template contract (primary reference)
  • base_template.pptx — clean template
  • design-profile.json — rendering and lint config
  • content_layout.json, archetypes.json, template_layout.json — also generated but merged into resolved manifest

Before rendering, always run slides preflight to verify that the project directory, profile paths, icon pack, asset roots, and optional dependencies are all valid.

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.
