About the project

Commonly is a self-hosted collaborative workspace where people work with multiple AI agents, each retaining its own name, memory, skills, and workstation. Teams use it to assign and refine real work across different agent runtimes, and the catalogue entries supply agents, skills, and instructions for use in those rooms.

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 C, and why

officecli-pptx scanned grade C with 2 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 1mo 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.

OfficeCLI PPTX Skill

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 what good slides look like, not every command flag. When a property name, enum value, or alias is uncertain, consult help BEFORE guessing.

officecli help pptx                         # List all pptx elements
officecli help pptx <element>               # Full element schema (e.g. shape, chart, animation, connector, zoom, group, background)
officecli help pptx <verb> <element>        # Verb-scoped (e.g. add shape, set slide)
officecli help pptx <element> --json        # Machine-readable schema

Help reflects the installed CLI version. When skill and help disagree, help is authoritative. Triggers to run help immediately: UNSUPPORTED props: warning, unknown animation preset, connector.shape= enum drifts, prop-vs-alias (lineWidth vs line.width, color vs font.color).

Shell & Execution Discipline

Shell quoting (zsh / bash). ALWAYS quote element paths ("/slide[1]/...") — zsh globs unquoted [1] to no matches found. Escapes happen at two layers; the CLI handles one for you:

  1. Shell. $ in a value still belongs to the shell — single-quote the whole value: --prop text='$15M'. Double-quoted "$15M" gets expanded to M. The CLI does NOT unescape \$ for you.
  2. CLI (text=). The two-char escapes \n and \t ARE interpreted, consistently across pptx / docx / xlsx — \n is a line / paragraph break, \t is a tab. To produce a literal backslash-n in text, double it (\\n); this is rarely what you want.
  3. JSON (batch). Real newlines / tabs can also be passed as "\n" / "\t" inside a <<'EOF' heredoc; both forms produce the same result.

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.
