What it does

Sandbox Pptxgen is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool. Build PowerPoint files in a Code node or CodeAct action, with PptxGenJS running on the host

Its SKILL.md is about 370 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. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint and python-pptx. 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

Example prompts

“/sandbox-pptxgen”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 339f069. 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 Pptxgen loads about 367 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 101 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~367

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.

PowerPoint writing in the sandbox

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

This pack writes PPTX files. To extract text from an existing deck, use @nodetool-ai/sandbox-pptx instead.

build — slides to PPTX bytes

Positions are inches from the top-left. A widescreen slide is 13.33×7.5.

import { build } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-pptxgen";

const bytes = await build({
  title: "Q3 Review",
  author: "NodeTool",
  slides: [
    {
      background: "#0f172a",
      items: [
        { type: "text", x: 0.5, y: 0.4, w: 12, h: 1, text: "Q3 Review", fontSize: 36, color: "#ffffff", bold: true },
        { type: "shape", shape: "rect", x: 0.5, y: 1.6, w: 4, h: 0.15, fill: "#38bdf8" },
        { type: "image", x: 8, y: 2.5, w: 4, h: 3, data: inputs.chart }
      ]
    }
  ]
});
await workspace.writeBytes("q3.pptx", bytes);

Item types:

text — x, y, w/h (or width/height), text, fontSize, color (hex), bold, align (left/center/right)
image — x, y, w/h, data (Uint8Array PNG or JPEG)
shape — shape (PptxGenJS name, default rect), x, y, w/h, fill (hex)

Gotchas

Host module. build is async and returns a Uint8Array.
At most 200 slides.
Hex colors may include a leading #.
