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

presentations 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.

Presentation Strategy and Best Practices

Structured frameworks for planning, structuring, and designing effective presentations for any audience.

Core Frameworks

Problem-First Framing (Pyramid Principle)

Lead with the answer or recommendation first, then supporting evidence. Never open with "how we did it" — open with "what the problem is and what we recommend."

SCQA Structure:

  1. Situation — the stable context the audience already knows
  2. Complication — what changed or went wrong
  3. Question — the question the complication raises
  4. Answer — the recommendation (state this first, then support it)

Apply SCQA to the opening slide before revealing methodology or detail.

See references/frameworks.md for worked SCQA examples and Pyramid Principle depth.

Rule of Threes

Limit each presentation to 3 key messages. Structure each key message with 3 supporting arguments. Use a 3-act arc: setup → confrontation → resolution.

  • Cognitive basis: working memory handles 3 items reliably
  • Apply at the deck level (3 sections) and the slide level (3 bullets max)
  • When you have more than 3 points, find the grouping pattern, not more slides

Assertion-Evidence Slide Design

Every slide follows this structure:

  • Top of slide: A single declarative assertion — 2 lines maximum, ~10-15 words
  • Body: Visual evidence supporting the assertion (diagram, chart, image, table)
  • Target ~20 words total per slide (assertion + any labels)
  • Replace bullet lists with visual evidence wherever possible

Bad assertion (topic label): "Q3 Performance" Good assertion (claim): "Q3 latency dropped 40% after cache rollout"

Guy Kawasaki 10/20/30 Rule

  • Maximum 10 slides per deck
  • Maximum 20 minutes of speaking time
  • Minimum 30pt font size

Apply as a constraint check after structuring the deck. If a draft exceeds 10 slides, identify which slides can merge, become appendix, or be cut.

Nancy Duarte Sparkline

Frame the narrative as a contrast between "what is" (current reality) and "what could be" (future vision). Make the audience the hero of the transformation, not the presenter or product.

What ships with it

7 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.

Changes

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.
