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-to-video 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/build_video.py, scripts/make_srt.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 — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deck to Video (slides + narration → self-playing mp4)

Overview

Turn N slide images (or a PDF) + N per-slide audio clips into one mp4: each slide holds for exactly its narration's length plus a short pause, then hard-cuts to the next. Overlays: a filling progress bar + seconds-remaining countdown (bottom-right) and an "N / M" slide counter (top-right).

The one command (the script ships in this skill's own scripts/ directory — call it by its full path there):

python3 <this-skill-dir>/scripts/build_video.py SLIDES AUDIO_DIR out.mp4
# SLIDES = slides.pdf (rasterized at 200dpi) OR a directory of per-slide images
#          (numeric-aware ordering: s2 before s10; zero-padded names still recommended)
# AUDIO_DIR = slide01.mp3, slide02.mp3, … — count MUST equal slide count
# options: --size 1920x1080 · --pad 0.7 · --no-bar · --no-counter · --bar-color HEX · --crf 20
#          --highlights hl.json · --anim-fps 30   (see "Highlighting elements" below)

On success it prints one line per slide — that per-slide length already includes the pad — and ends with duration matches segment sum (it exits non-zero otherwise).

Getting the inputs right

  1. Slides: if starting from a pptx, rasterize from real PowerPoint, not LibreOffice. Export the pptx to PDF via actual PowerPoint (the office-render skill does this on macOS), then hand the PDF to the script — LibreOffice substitutes fonts and re-flows layouts, so the video would not match what the deck's author sees. 200 dpi keeps dense slide text crisp at 1080p. (Already have per-slide images? Use them directly — skip this step.)
  2. Audio: one clip per slide, named slideNN.mp3. If the deck was narrated with the narrating-pptx skill, its narration/ directory is already in this exact shape — reuse it so the pptx and the video sound identical.
  3. If narration pace was adjusted (e.g. ffmpeg -filter:a atempo=1.1), build the video from the adjusted files.

Why the overlays are baked with PIL, not drawn by ffmpeg (paid for in blood)

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.

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.
