A guide for creating PowerPoint presentations with Morph transitions, which animate objects continuously as one slide changes into the next. It adds rules for naming and matching objects across slides.

Use it for slides with objects that grow, move, or rotate across transitions, including smooth diagrams, animated scenes, and Keynote-style motion.

It helps keep moving or transforming objects consistent between slides while following the presentation's existing layout and style rules. The input does not describe general presentation creation beyond this use.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00169	$0.12855

Security

Grade C, and why

morph-ppt scanned grade C with 3 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 19 executable files (reference/morph-helpers.py, reference/morph-helpers.sh, reference/styles/bw--brutalist-raw/build.sh, …), 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

- **`!!` in shell values — single-quote.** Bash / zsh history expansion eats unquoted `!!foo`. Always use `--prop 'name=!!scene-ring'` (single quotes). In Python `subprocess.run([...])` lists, no quoting needed — pass `"

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 537 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OfficeCLI Morph-PPT Skill

This skill is a scene layer on top of officecli-pptx. Every pptx hard rule — visual delivery floor (title ≥ 36pt / body ≥ 18pt / title ≥ 2× body), 12-column grid on 33.87×19.05cm, canonical palettes, chart-choice decision table, connector canon, shell escape, resident + batch, Delivery Gate 1–5a — is inherited, not re-taught. This file adds only what Morph needs on top: cross-slide shape-name binding, Scene Actors vs content prefixing, ghost discipline, transition=morph CLI quirks, 52-style visual library lookup, and a morph-specific fresh-eyes Gate 5b extension.

When the pptx base rules cover it, the text here says → see pptx v2 §X. Read skills/officecli-pptx/SKILL.md first if you have not.

Setup

If officecli is missing:

macOS / Linux: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/main/install.sh | bash
Windows (PowerShell): irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/main/install.ps1 | iex

Verify with officecli --version (open a new terminal if PATH hasn't picked up). If install fails, download a binary from https://github.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/releases.

⚠️ Help-First Rule

This skill teaches the Morph workflow — when shape names must match, when to ghost, when the CLI auto-prefixes — not every command flag. When a prop name, enum, or preset is uncertain, consult help BEFORE guessing.

officecli help pptx slide           # authoritative for: transition, advanceTime, advanceClick, background
officecli help pptx shape           # name, preset, x/y/width/height, fill, rotation, opacity, animation
officecli help pptx animation       # preset + trigger + duration values
officecli help pptx <element> --json  # machine-readable schema

Help reflects the installed CLI version. When skill and help disagree, help wins. Every --prop X= in this file is grep-verified against officecli help pptx <element>. Specific confirmations: transition=morph is a listed value on slide; advanceTime / advanceClick are valid. There is NO standalone transition element — officecli help pptx transition returns error. Sub-props such as duration / delay / easing for the transition itself are not exposed on slide — see §Known Issues for the raw-set path if you need them.

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.
