Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00061 | $0.01521 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00760 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00304 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00152 |
Grade A, and why
pyramid-presentation 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 9d 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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Pyramid Presentation
Purpose
Produce a presentation storyline whose assertion headlines carry the argument. Load pyramid-principle-core for structure and direct language. Add a pyramid-source-integrity check when facts or data materially affect the output; receive a claim packet only when strict trace mode applies.
This skill produces deck structure. It does not design slides or audit an existing deck.
Route the Request
Use this skill for slide decks, talks, ghost decks, presentation storylines, and slide-flow requests.
Hand off when:
- the artifact is a prose report or multi-section document →
pyramid-long-form - the artifact is an email, memo, or one-pager →
pyramid-short-form - the user wants an existing deck diagnosed →
pyramid-audit - the user wants the framework explained →
pyramid-principle-core
Identify the Inputs
Before drafting, the agent identifies:
- Audience question: What must the audience understand or decide?
- Governing thought: Which decision, recommendation, or finding did the user supply?
- Cleared claims: When source integrity applies, which facts, calculations, inferences, recommendations, and limitations may the storyline use, and what source, locator, confidence, and reason accompany each data point?
- Shared context: What does the audience already know?
- Requested depth: Headlines only, evidence placement, transitions, or a fuller outline?
The agent asks a question only when a missing answer would materially change the storyline and the supplied material does not support a safe choice.
Return the Requested Depth
- Ghost deck or headlines-only request: Return only numbered lines in the form
Slide [number] — [assertion headline]. - Evidence-placement request: Add one source-backed chart, table, quote, diagram, or fact under the headline it supports.
- Fuller outline request: Add source-backed evidence placement and requested transitions. Do not add design, speaker notes, or framework commentary unless requested.
What ships with it
2 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.

pyramid-presentation is a skill published in the GitHub repository tyroneross/pyramid-principle (28 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 1,521 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
