/slide-deck — Draft, update, convert, and export branded React decks

Authors React/TypeScript decks for ${SLIDE_DECK_REPO:-$HOME/code/your-slide-deck-site}/src/app/slides/<slug>/page.tsx using the user's slide system. Branded output (no separate HTML pipeline) — when portable HTML/PDF is needed, export mode snapshots the rendered React deck via Playwright so the output is brand-perfect.

Modes (pick one before Step 1)

Mode	Invocation	Goal
new	`/slide-deck new <topic>` (default)	Draft a new deck from a brief
update	`/slide-deck update <slug>`	Modify an existing deck (with overflow guards)
ppt	`/slide-deck ppt <path-to-pptx>`	Convert a legacy PPTX into a React deck
export	`/slide-deck export <slug> [html\|pdf\|vercel]`	Snapshot a deck to HTML, PDF, or Vercel URL

For update, ppt, and export, skip to the corresponding mode section below. For new, continue through Steps 1–8.

Step 1 — Capture the brief (ask all at once)

Ask in one structured message. Don't round-trip on each.

Topic / title — what's the deck about?
Audience — who's in the room? (technical / executive / mixed / clients) Push for specificity: "founders" is too broad; "B2B SaaS founders at MicroConf" is workable.
Length — rough slide count: 5–10 (lightning / short internal) / 10–15 (short keynote, pitch) / 20–25 (keynote) / 30+ (workshop — uncommon for branded decks).
Density — speaker-led (1 idea/slide, big type, lots of breathing room, more slides if needed) or reading-first (4–6 bullets/slide, structured grids, self-contained for async review).
CTA — what should the audience do/think/feel after?
Slug — kebab-case (e.g., marketing-like-an-engineer).
Content state — all content ready / rough notes / topic only.

Remember density — it affects slide count, copy length per slide, and which primitives to favor. See references/narrative-and-voice.md for the density-specific rules.

Step 2 — Three narrative angles

Riff on zarazhangrui/frontend-slides' "show, don't tell" — but applied to story, not visuals (your visual system is fixed).

Pitch 3 angles in 1–2 sentences each:

Safe — most likely to land. Conventional structure for the audience.
Bold — contrarian or counterintuitive frame. Higher upside, slight risk.
Wildcard — unexpected structure (story-first, single-question deck, anti-thesis, etc.).
