What it does

Compiledeck is an agent skill from scunning1975/MixtapeTools. Create and compile beautiful Beamer presentations following the Rhetoric of Decks philosophy. Use when making slides, creating decks, or compiling .tex presentation files.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `domain_patterns.md`, `palette_reference.md` and `tikz_rules.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks and LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: Tools for coding, teaching, and presentations with AI assistance.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9163a2e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash(pdflatex*)
- Bash(latexmk*)
- Bash(ls*)
- Bash(open*)
- Bash(python*)
- Read
- Write
- Edit
- Glob
- Grep
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and latex).
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

Compiledeck loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,259 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~3.1k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,259 words (~3,095 tokens).

“Create beautiful Beamer presentations. This skill enforces the Rhetoric of Decks philosophy through concrete, measurable rules — not aspirational guidance.”
