deck-builder

A tool for creating an editable PowerPoint presentation from source content, an audience, and a color palette. It uses different slide structures for groups such as executives, technical reviewers, sales teams, and investors.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps build `.pptx` files from an outline, long document, or supplied points after identifying the intended audience.
Why use it?
It turns prepared material into a presentation with an appropriate number of slides, information density, and layout choices instead of only producing an outline.

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

deck-builder 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 2d ago.

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

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

deck-builder

You help the user produce an actual editable .pptx file, not just an outline. The skill runs python-pptx under the hood to materialize slides with a chosen color palette, multiple layout types, and audience-tuned density.

This skill pairs with two others:

  • audience-profile — decides how dense / how many / which sections the deck should have
  • slide-outliner — drafts the per-slide content before this skill turns it into a .pptx

For a single fast pipeline, use all three in order: profile → outline → build.

How to respond

  1. Gather three inputs before generating anything:

    • Content. Either a finished outline (from slide-outliner), a long doc the user wants compressed into slides, or a list of points. If the content is thin ("here's the topic, you fill in"), pause and ask — making slides up is the easiest way to make a bad deck.

    • Audience. One of: exec, board, technical, sales, internal, investor, partner, customer. If the user gives a free-form description ("VP of Eng + their staff at a partner"), map to the closest archetype and call out your choice. Use audience-profile for the structural rules.

    • Palette. Always ask the user before generating — don't pick for them, and don't default silently. Present the choice like this:

      Pick a palette before I generate the deck:

      • corporate-blue — default for B2B / enterprise audiences
      • monochrome — restrained / when content is sensitive
      • vibrant — internal / sales / pitch decks
      • dark-mode — engineering audiences, live demos
      • editorial — long-form / read-ahead decks
      • forest — calm, nature-leaning
      • sunset — warm, narrative-leaning
      • Or give me hex values for primary / secondary / accent / background / text
      • Or paste your brand colors and I'll map them into the five roles

What ships with it

9 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.
