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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 5.1 | $0.00067 | $0.01935 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00967 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00387 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00194 |
Grade A, and why
ppt-mcp 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 4d 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.
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 — 210 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
PowerPoint MCP Server Skill
Provides 219 PowerPoint operations via Model Context Protocol. The MCP Server forwards all requests to the shared PptMcp Service, enabling session sharing with CLI. Tools are auto-discovered - this documents quirks, workflows, and gotchas.

Always last |
Preconditions
- Windows host with Microsoft PowerPoint installed (2016+)
- Use full Windows paths:
C:\Users\Name\Documents\Report.pptx - PowerPoint files must not be open in another PowerPoint instance
Large Deck Pattern
For larger builds, use a single controlling client with these logical phases:
- Plan
- Execute
- Verify
- Improve
Important:
- Keep this orchestration in the client, not in the MCP server
- Use normal sequential MCP calls
- Do not assume MCP batch execution or subagents are available
Slide Transitions Workflow
Use transition for slide transition effects. Apply transitions to individual slides or across the entire presentation:
1. transition(action: 'set', slideIndex: 1, effect: 'push') → Set transition
2. Add content to slides (shapes, text, charts)
3. transition(action: 'set', slideIndex: 2, effect: 'fade') → Set next slide transition
4. animation(action: 'add', slideIndex: 1, shapeName: 'Title', effect: 'fly-in') → Animate shapes
Note: Transitions apply between slides. Animations apply to individual shapes within a slide.
CRITICAL: Execution Rules (MUST FOLLOW)
Rule 1: NEVER Ask Clarifying Questions
STOP. If you're about to ask "Which file?", "What table?", "Where should I put this?" - DON'T.
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.
