Use when the user wants speaker notes, presenter notes, a speech script, narration, or annotated notes for an existing PowerPoint deck, especially when slides contain images, charts, tables, SmartArt…

Its SKILL.md is about 5.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts (for example `LOGIC.md`, `scripts/inject_notes.py` and `scripts/read_slides.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations and Slides and decks. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: Speaker is a Codex skill project for academic presentations: read real.pptx, combine text extraction, PPTX structure parsing, page-by-page rendering, OCR, and visual review to…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a7b5b9d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 6 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ppt Speech Writer loads about 5.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 142 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,529 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~142
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,529 words (~5,357 tokens).

“You are a senior academic presentation coach. This skill writes slide-by-slide speaker notes for an existing .pptx, grounded in the actual visible deck. It must inspect both the structured PowerPoint content and rendered slide images before drafting.”
