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

fetch-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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (fetch_slides.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.

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.

What it actually says

Fetch slides from a URL

Run the fetch_slides.py script to download and convert slides:

uv run .agents/skills/fetch-slides/fetch_slides.py <url> <output_dir>

Arguments

  • url (required): URL of the slides. Supported formats:
    • Direct PDF URL (e.g., https://example.com/slides.pdf)
    • PPTX URL (auto-detected via Content-Type header)
    • OneDrive sharing link (e.g., https://onedrive.live.com/:p:/g/personal/... or https://1drv.ms/...)
    • RevealJS HTML presentation URL (e.g., https://example.com/slides/)
  • output_dir (required): Directory to save output files. Created if it doesn't exist.

Outputs

  • slides.pdf — Always produced. The presentation as a PDF file.
  • slides_content.md — Only for RevealJS presentations. Contains extracted text content and links from each slide, with section headings marked.

Prerequisites

  • For PPTX conversion: LibreOffice must be installed
    • macOS: brew install --cask libreoffice
    • Ubuntu: apt-get install libreoffice
  • For RevealJS presentations: Playwright browsers must be installed
    • uv run playwright install chromium

How it works

  1. The script makes an HTTP HEAD request to detect the content type
  2. Based on the content type:
    • PDF: Downloads directly
    • PPTX: Downloads the file, then converts to PDF using LibreOffice (headless mode)
    • OneDrive: Converts the sharing URL to a direct download URL (appends ?download=1), then handles as PDF or PPTX
    • RevealJS HTML: Uses Playwright to open the presentation with ?print-pdf appended, renders to PDF. Also parses the HTML to extract slide text content and links.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
