Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00066 | $0.10916 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00033 | $0.05458 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.02183 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.01092 |
Grade A, and why
ppt-cli 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.
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 — 838 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
PowerPoint Automation with pptcli
Preconditions
- Windows host with Microsoft PowerPoint installed (2016+)
- Uses COM interop — does NOT work on macOS or Linux

Workflow Checklist
| Step | Command | When |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Session | session create/open |
Always first |
| 2. Slides | slide create/duplicate |
If needed |
| 3. Add content | shape, text, chart |
Add shapes, text, charts |
| 4. Save & close | session close --save |
Always last |
10+ commands? Use
pptcli -q batch --input commands.json— sends all commands in one process with automatic session management. See Rule 8.
CRITICAL RULES (MUST FOLLOW)
⚡ Building dashboards or bulk operations? Skip to Rule 8: Batch Mode — it eliminates per-command process overhead and auto-manages session IDs.
Rule 1: NEVER Ask Clarifying Questions
Execute commands to discover the answer instead:
| DON'T ASK | DO THIS INSTEAD |
|---|---|
| "Which file should I use?" | pptcli -q session list |
| "Which slide has the content?" | pptcli -q slide list --session <id> |
| "What shapes are on this slide?" | pptcli -q shape list --session <id> |
You have commands to answer your own questions. USE THEM.
Rule 2: Always End With a Text Summary
NEVER end your turn with only a command execution. After completing all operations, always provide a brief text message confirming what was done. Silent command-only responses are incomplete.
Rule 3: Session Lifecycle
Creating vs Opening Files:
# NEW file - use session create
pptcli -q session create C:\path\newfile.pptx # Creates file + returns session ID
# EXISTING file - use session open
pptcli -q session open C:\path\existing.pptx # Opens file + returns session ID
CRITICAL: Use session create for new files. session open on non-existent files will fail!
CRITICAL: ALWAYS use the session ID returned by session create or session open in subsequent commands. NEVER guess or hardcode session IDs. The session ID is in the JSON output (e.g., {"sessionId":"abc123"}). Parse it and use it.
What ships with it
8 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.
