Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

This is TheSmokeDev/taskchad-os's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on taskchad-os itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything taskchad-os configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is uv run --with python-pptx==1.0.2 python .claude/skills/pptx-generator/.tmp/gen.py.

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to TheSmokeDev/taskchad-os. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

pptx-generator 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 22 executable files (cookbook/bold-diagonal-slide.py, cookbook/carousels/cta-slide.py, cookbook/carousels/hook-slide.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.

PPTX Slide Generator

Generate professional, on-brand presentation slides using python-pptx. This skill supports:

  • Slide Generation - Create presentations for any brand in brands/
  • Carousel Generation - Create LinkedIn carousels (square format, exports to PDF)
  • Slide Editing - Modify existing PPTX files
  • Layout Management - Create, edit, update cookbook layouts

IMPORTANT: All skill resources are in .claude/skills/pptx-generator/. Always use Glob patterns starting with .claude/skills/pptx-generator/ to find files.


⚠️ CRITICAL: Batch Generation Rules

NEVER generate more than 5 slides at once.

Rule Details
Max slides per batch 5 (can be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5)
After each batch STOP and validate output
Validation required Check: no duplicate titles, proper spacing, correct colors
Continue when Validation passes
After ALL batches COMBINE into single file and DELETE part files

This prevents token limit errors and catches quality issues early.

CRITICAL: Always clean up part files after combining. The user should only see ONE final PPTX file, not multiple part files.


⚠️ PREREQUISITE: Brand Check

Before generating slides, check if any brands exist.

Glob: .claude/skills/pptx-generator/brands/*/brand.json

If NO brands found (only template/ exists):

  1. STOP - Do not proceed with slide generation

  2. Ask the user:

    "No brands are configured yet. Would you like me to help you create a brand first? I'll need your brand colors, fonts, and style guidelines to set this up."

  3. If user wants to create a brand, follow the Creating a New Brand section below.

  4. If user declines, explain that slides require a brand configuration and offer to use generic styling as a fallback.


Creating a New Brand

When no brands exist or user requests a new brand:

Step 1: Read the Template

Read: .claude/skills/pptx-generator/brands/template/README.md
Read: .claude/skills/pptx-generator/brands/template/brand.json
Read: .claude/skills/pptx-generator/brands/template/config.json

What ships with it

30 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.

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.
