Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is OpenCoworkAI/open-cowork's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on open-cowork itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything open-cowork configures →

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 B, and why

pptx 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 12 executable files (ooxml/scripts/pack.py, ooxml/scripts/unpack.py, ooxml/scripts/validate.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.

PPTX creation, editing, and analysis

Overview

Create, edit, or analyze the contents of .pptx files when requested. A .pptx file is essentially a ZIP archive containing XML files and other resources. Different tools and workflows are available for different tasks.

CRITICAL: Read All Documentation First

Before starting any presentation task, read ALL relevant documentation files completely to understand the full workflow:

  1. For creating new presentations: Read html2pptx.md and css.md in their entirety
  2. For editing existing presentations: Read ooxml.md in its entirety
  3. For template-based creation: Read the relevant sections of this file plus css.md

NEVER set any range limits when reading these files. Understanding the complete workflow, constraints, and best practices before starting is essential for producing high-quality presentations. Partial knowledge leads to errors, inconsistent styling, and visual defects that require rework.

Reading and analyzing content

Text extraction

To read just the text content of a presentation, convert the document to markdown:

# Convert document to markdown
python3 -m markitdown path-to-file.pptx

Raw XML access

Use raw XML access for: comments, speaker notes, slide layouts, animations, design elements, and complex formatting. To access these features, unpack a presentation and read its raw XML contents.

Unpacking a file

python3 ooxml/scripts/unpack.py <office_file> <output_dir>

Key file structures
  • ppt/presentation.xml - Main presentation metadata and slide references
  • ppt/slides/slide{N}.xml - Individual slide contents (slide1.xml, slide2.xml, etc.)
  • ppt/notesSlides/notesSlide{N}.xml - Speaker notes for each slide
  • ppt/comments/modernComment_*.xml - Comments for specific slides
  • ppt/slideLayouts/ - Layout templates for slides
  • ppt/slideMasters/ - Master slide templates
  • ppt/theme/ - Theme and styling information
  • ppt/media/ - Images and other media files

What ships with it

56 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.

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.
