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

pptx 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (references/python_pptx_skeleton.py), 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.

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.

PPTX Pro 2.0 — Fast Path

Core principle

Generate a polished, professional .pptx in 6–10 minutes by following a single five-step fast path:

  1. Gather material — collect the topic, audience, deck length, and any user-supplied source content.
  2. Ensure environment — verify Python + python-pptx; install if missing.
  3. Write generator — produce a single generate.py script with inline overflow safeguards.
  4. Execute & self-correct — run, fix any P0 issues in place, rerun.
  5. Deliver — output the .pptx to the current working directory with a one-paragraph QA note.

This skill uses Python + python-pptx as the unified engine for all PPTX operations. Quality bars stay the same; the delivery path is faster and more predictable.

When to use

Use this skill for any task involving .pptx files:

  • From scratch generation — follow the five-step fast path in this file.
  • Editing an existing .pptx — follow the three-step path in references/editing.md (read structure → write modify script → markitdown verify). Same python-pptx engine, no XML unpacking.
  • Read-only inspection / text extraction — run python -m markitdown deck.pptx directly, or use the structured-read snippet at the top of references/editing.md.

Step 1 — Gather material

Ask only what is genuinely missing. Do not run mandatory multi-round clarification. The minimum context needed is:

  • Topic — what the deck is about.
  • Audience and tone — executive, technical, sales, training, internal review.
  • Length — slide count target, default 6–8.
  • Source content — paste, file path, or "use public knowledge."

If the user already gave clear instructions, skip the question round and proceed.

Step 2 — Ensure environment

Run probes. If they succeed, skip install:

python -c "import pptx; print(pptx.__version__)"
python -m markitdown --help >NUL 2>&1

If they fail:

python -m pip install --quiet python-pptx "markitdown[pptx]"

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.
