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

create-talk 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 1mo 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.

Create Talk

Build a new talk deck by copying talks/templates/ and filling it with real content. If that template doesn't exist yet, build it with the user first (step 0). The template is a viewable reveal.js deck whose slide formats are the design system — the job is composition (which format carries which idea), not visual design.

Input

$ARGUMENTS

Workflow

0. Check that the template exists

Everything below assumes talks/templates/ is present. Check first:

ls talks/templates/index.html

If it's missing, the template has to be built before any talk can be scaffolded. Say so, then follow references/bootstrap-template.md to develop it with the user — it inherits the site's palette and typography, and the format catalog is theirs to choose. Build and verify the template first, then come back to step 1 for the talk they actually asked for.

1. Gather inputs

Collect before outlining (use AskUserQuestion for anything important that's missing — these decisions shape the whole deck):

  • Venue, date, and talk title — needed for the title slide and directory name.
  • Talk length and audience — drives the slide budget (~1 slide or build-up step per minute) and how much background to include.
  • Source material paths — LaTeX source, paper PDF, figure directories, an abstract, or a prior deck to adapt. Read what's provided; see references/content-mapping.md for how to mine each input type.
  • Directory name — talks/YYYY_shortname/ (year of the talk + a short lowercase tag, e.g. 2026_sicss), matching any decks already under talks/.

2. Outline first — get approval before writing any HTML

Propose a slide-by-slide outline: for each slide, the format name (from the catalog) and one line of content. Group build-up sequences explicitly ("Figure build-up ×3: baseline → add condition → highlight result"). Getting the outline right is where the user can cheaply redirect; rewriting finished HTML is expensive. Show the outline and wait for approval, adjusting until it fits the time budget and the story the user wants to tell.

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.
