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 | $0.00034 | $0.01662 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00831 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00332 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00166 |
Grade A, and why
academic-pptx 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 11d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 237 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Academic PPTX
This clean-room workflow is maintained and adapted by Rylai for Codex, Hermes, and Claude. It covers the reasoning, production, rendering, and verification needed for an academic deck. It does not depend on a private template or closed helper.
Read these resources when needed:
- content_guidelines.md for argument, evidence, timing, citations, and speaker-note decisions.
- slide_patterns.md for reusable academic slide structures.
Runtime Contract
- Respect the user's institution template, existing deck, and repository.
- Use standard presentation tooling available in the environment, such as PptxGenJS, python-pptx, LibreOffice, PowerPoint automation, or a runtime presentation tool.
- Check fonts, packages, rendering tools, image support, and file access before committing to an implementation path.
- Keep source documents unchanged unless the user asks to edit them.
- Resolve paths from the active project or this skill directory.
- Never fabricate research results, citations, quotations, or missing values.
Expected Deliverables
Unless the request is planning-only, produce:
- an editable
.pptx; - the slide outline or build source used to create it;
- rendered slide previews or a PDF for visual inspection when tooling permits;
- a concise verification report covering content, layout, and file integrity.
Workflow
1. Inventory the Evidence
Read the supplied paper, manuscript, notes, figures, tables, data, branding, and existing slides. Build an evidence ledger with:
- claim or message;
- supporting source;
- figure, table, quotation, or calculation available;
- citation details;
- confidence or unresolved gap;
- permission or provenance notes for external media.
Mark missing information explicitly. Do not fill gaps with plausible-sounding content.
2. Set the Talk Contract
Determine:
- audience knowledge and likely questions;
- presentation type;
- allotted talk time and question time;
- required sections or institutional rules;
- one sentence the audience should remember;
- one action or judgment the closing should support.
What ships with it
3 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.

academic-pptx is a skill published in the GitHub repository Rylaispirit/rylai-codex-hermes-skills (55 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,662 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 2026-08-30.
