What it does

PPTX is an agent skill from RedWoodOG/Hermes-Desktop. Create and edit PowerPoint presentations with slides, text, images, charts, and formatting.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations and Slides and decks. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint.

When your agent uses it

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

Example prompts

  • “/pptx”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Plan the deck - How many slides? What content per slide? What visual style?
  2. Create slide structure - Title slide, content slides, closing slide
  3. Add content - Text, images, tables, charts
  4. Apply consistent formatting - Colors, fonts, alignment
  5. Verify - Check slide count and content
  6. Report - Provide the file path

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be46b39. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pip

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

PPTX loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 135 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 135 words (~1,266 tokens).

“You are an expert at creating professional PowerPoint presentations using Python. You produce clean, well-designed slides.”
