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

slide-maker scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/html2pptx.js), 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 449 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

<Use_When>

  • User asks to create slides or a presentation about a topic
  • User provides sources (URLs, PDFs, repos, vault notes) and wants slides
  • User wants to edit an existing HTML or pptx slide deck
  • User uses /slides or /slide-maker </Use_When>

<Do_Not_Use_When>

  • User wants a research note, not slides (use /research)
  • User just wants to read/extract text from a pptx (use pptx skill directly) </Do_Not_Use_When>

Create workspace + output directories at the start of every session:

mkdir -p temp/slides/research temp/slides/images notes/slides

Final output always goes to notes/slides/<presentation-name>.html (or .pptx). Images used by the presentation are copied to notes/slides/images/. The temp/slides/ workspace is for intermediate files only.

Stage 1: PARSE — Classify Inputs

Parse $ARGUMENTS and any user context. Classify each input:

Input type Detection Strategy
URL starts with http(s):// WebFetch + download images
Git repo github.com or git URL clone to temp, read key files
PDF .pdf extension Read tool (for local) or download
Vault note (Type) Name or [[wikilink]] Read via MCP or Read tool
Existing slides (.html) .html extension Editing mode
Existing slides (.pptx) .pptx extension Delegate to pptx skill
Raw topic none of the above WebSearch + WebFetch

Auto-detect research depth:

  • Quick mode: 1-2 simple sources or a short topic → inline research, no subagents
  • Thorough mode: 3+ sources, complex topic, or broad request → parallel research agents

Present what was detected:

Detected sources:
1. [URL] blog post — will fetch + extract
2. [URL] paper PDF — will download and read
3. "transformer architecture" — will web search

Mode: thorough (3 sources → parallel research)
Proceeding to research...

Don't wait for confirmation unless something is ambiguous.

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.
