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

powerpoint-ppt 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/ppt-automation.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.

PowerPoint Presentation Workflows

Tech Stack Target / Version: PowerPoint current desktop or web releases and python-pptx automation.

Use this skill when a .pptx deck is the output and slide composition matters.

  • Leverage native parallel subagent dispatch and 200k+ context windows where available.

Current MCP Reality

Presentation MCP tooling is host-dependent. Some clients expose Office presentation tools directly, while others do not. Do not assume stable public tool names. If the current client lacks those tools, use the included local automation script or generate the content structure first and import it into PowerPoint.

Activation Conditions

Use symptom -> action triggers: when one matches, apply this skill and verify with the protocol below.

  • Creating a deck from structured content
  • Applying templates, branding, and slide layouts
  • Updating text, images, or charts inside an existing presentation
  • Extracting slide text for review or translation

Practical Workflow

  1. Confirm whether the client exposes presentation tools.
  2. Prefer template-driven decks over manual one-off slide formatting.
  3. Keep one idea per slide and treat text density as a defect.
  4. Validate the final deck visually before calling it done.

MCP Fallback – Native Automation

When MCP is unavailable, use native automation: python-pptx for .pptx, image export or screenshot checks for visual validation, and manual review for animations or speaker notes. Preserve slide order, layouts, theme fonts, media, notes, and aspect ratio, then reopen or render the deck before claiming success.

Cross-Client Portability

This skill is written to stay usable across GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex.

  • GitHub Copilot: keep the folder in a Copilot-visible skill path or wrap the workflow in project instructions when folder discovery is unavailable.
  • Claude Code: keep the folder in a local skills directory or a compatible plugin source.
  • Codex: install or sync the folder into $CODEX_HOME/skills/powerpoint-ppt and restart Codex after major 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.
