Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00042 | $0.01081 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00541 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00216 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00108 |
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.
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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
PowerPoint Presentation Workflows
Tech Stack Target / Version: PowerPoint current desktop or web releases and
python-pptxautomation.
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
- Confirm whether the client exposes presentation tools.
- Prefer template-driven decks over manual one-off slide formatting.
- Keep one idea per slide and treat text density as a defect.
- 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-pptand restart Codex after major changes.
What ships with it
4 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.
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.

powerpoint-ppt is a skill published in the GitHub repository PracticalSwan/agent-skills (13 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 1,081 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.

slides-grab-html
HTML-mode presentation pipeline usable in Codex and Claude Code. Build semantic slide-XX.html files, generate bespoke hero/accent imagery with slides-grab image, run the design gate, and export. Use when the deck needs editable, searchable, accessible text or when no existing template must be matched pixel-for-pixel.
slides-grab-export
Stage 3 conversion skill usable in Codex and Claude Code. Convert approved HTML slides to PDF or per-slide PNG reliably, and to experimental / unstable PPTX/Figma outputs on a best-effort basis.
presentation-forge
A workflow for creating editable PowerPoint presentations and related visual outputs from topics, documents, slides, templates, or images. It supports Chinese business reports and can use generated visual assets.
ppt-master
AI-driven presentation workflow for generating editable PPTX decks and slides, reconstructing page visuals, creating reusable Brand/Style/Layout/Deck workspaces, filling native PPTX templates, and enhancing finished PPTX files. Use when the user asks to create, generate, reconstruct, regenerate, beautify, redesign…
deck-ljg-present
A presentation template that converts an outline or Markdown document into large, poster-like slides while keeping the original wording, order, and content. It uses black, red, or yellow colour themes and assigns document elements to slide layouts.
slides-grab-image
Image-native presentation pipeline usable in Codex and Claude Code. Generate whole-slide raster images one slide at a time with slides-grab image, passing the reference template page as --reference so the model copies the layout and style and only swaps the content. Use when visual fidelity to an existing template…
