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

office-render 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/office_render.py, tests/test_quit_guard.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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Office Render (macOS, real Microsoft Office)

Overview

To verify how a .docx/.pptx/.xlsx looks, render it with the installed Microsoft Office app, not LibreOffice. LibreOffice substitutes fonts and re-flows complex layouts — it renders a 3-across team grid as a vertical list and swaps the typeface, so what you "see" isn't what the user sees. Word/PowerPoint produce the exact, pixel-faithful page; then convert the PDF to images you can read.

Pipeline: Office file → (real Word/PowerPoint/Excel) → PDF → (pdftoppm) → page JPGs.

When to use

  • "Show me / screenshot / preview this Word doc (or deck, or spreadsheet)."
  • Visually QA a .docx/.pptx you just generated (python-docx, python-pptx) — confirm fonts, tables, images, and slide layout look right.
  • A LibreOffice render looks wrong (substituted font, broken table/grid, RTL flipped) and you need the true rendering.
  • Read a doc whose layout matters (not just text — for text, markitdown/pandoc is fine).

Skip when you only need the text (use pandoc -t plain / python -m markitdown), or you're not on macOS / Office isn't installed (fall back to soffice --headless --convert-to pdf, accepting lower fidelity).

Usage

uv run --no-project --with docx2pdf python3 ~/.claude/skills/office-render/scripts/office_render.py \
    "/path/to/file.pptx" --out /tmp/render --dpi 150

--no-project is not optional cosmetics: without it, uv run tries to install the surrounding directory as a project, and if the CWD (or any parent) holds a pyproject.toml with no [project] table — common in tool-only repos — it aborts with No 'project' table found before the script ever runs. --no-project tells uv to just build an ephemeral env from --with and ignore whatever project it's sitting inside. Harmless when there's no pyproject either, so always pass it.

It writes file.pdf + file-1.jpg, file-2.jpg, … into --out and prints the paths. Then Read the JPGs. Options: --format png, --pdf-only, --dpi N (150 is plenty; the page is small on screen). Works for .docx, .pptx, .xlsx.

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.
