What it does

Sandbox PPTX is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool. Extract text from a PowerPoint file, whole or per slide, in a Code node or CodeAct action, with office-text-extractor running on the host

Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `package.json`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations and Slides and decks. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: Agent-first Creative Workspace. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve PowerPoint presentations
  • Tasks that involve Slides and decks

Example prompts

  • “/sandbox-pptx”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 58765d3. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are javascript).

    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

Sandbox PPTX loads about 322 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 110 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~322

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.

description
Extract text from a PowerPoint file, whole or per slide, in a Code node or CodeAct action, with office-text-extractor running on the host

PowerPoint text in the sandbox

Specifier: @nodetool-ai/sandbox-pptx. Import it at the top of the body.

office-text-extractor reads a .pptx buffer through Node's own zip/XML stack; it is not a guest-module candidate. This pack is a host module: the import resolves to a generated facade over NodeTool's own implementation.

extractText — whole deck to plain text

js
import { extractText } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-pptx";

const bytes = await workspace.readBytes("deck.pptx");
const text = await extractText(bytes);

All slides concatenated, in order.

extractSlides — one item per slide

js
import { extractSlides } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-pptx";

const slides = await extractSlides(bytes);
// [{ index: 0, slideNumber: 1, text: "Welcome to slide one" }, ...]

Get the bytes from workspace.readBytes, or from a fetched body with await response.bytes().

Gotchas

  • Both exports are async.
  • 10 MB per deck. Larger input is refused by name.
  • Text only. Neither export reads speaker notes, images, or slide layout — just the text runs on each slide.
