About hands-on-deck

hands-on-deck Agent-native PowerPoint manipulation. One CLI — — lets AI agents inspect, edit, create, and verify files with the fidelity of a human operator: atomic JSON patches in, linted decks out. → everyinc.github.io/hands-on-deck Packaged as an Agent Skill, so it drops into Claude Code, claude.ai, and any other agent platform that supports the skills format — and because the tool itself is just a CLI, any agent that can run a shell command can use it.

Agents that regenerate decks from scratch lose everything a template encodes: brand, layout craft, image treatments. hands-on-deck takes a third path: the agent writes a declarative patch; the tool executes it. json {"ops": [ {"op": "replace-text", "scope": "master", "from": "Globex", "to": "Acme"}, {"op": "set-text", "slide": 3, "shape": "s12", "te

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
