slide

# Slide — Presentation Slide Builder Create, edit, and manage presentation slide decks stored in a local JSONL backend. Supports themes, templates, speaker notes, reordering, outlining, and HTML export. ## Prerequisites - Python 3.8+ - `bash` shell - No external dependencies required ## Data Storage All slide data is stored in `~/.slide/data.jsonl`. Each line is a JSON object representing either a deck or an individual slide. The tool auto-creates the directory and file on first use. ## Commands | Command | Description | Usage | |-----------|----------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| | create | Create a new slide deck with a title | `create TITLE [--author AUTHOR] [--description DESC]` | | add | Add a new slide to an existing deck | `add DECK_ID --title TITLE [--content TEXT] [--layout TYPE]`| | edit | Edit a slide's title, content, or layout | `edit SLIDE_ID [--title T] [--content C] [--layout L]` | | reorder | Move a slide to a new position within its deck | `reorder SLIDE_ID --position N` | | theme | Apply or view a theme for a deck | `theme DECK_ID [--set THEME_NAME] [--list]` | | outline | Show a text outline of all slides in a deck | `outline DECK_ID` | | export | Export a deck to HTML or JSON | `export DECK_ID [--format html\|json] [--output FILE]` | | preview | Generate a quick text preview of a slide | `preview SLIDE_ID` | | list | List all decks or slides within a deck | `list [--deck DECK_ID] [--limit N]` | | template | List built-in templates or apply one to a new deck | `template [--apply NAME] [--list]` | | notes | Add or view speaker notes for a slide | `notes SLIDE_ID [--set TEXT]` | | help | Show usage information | `help` | | version | Show version number | `version` | ## Examples ```bash # Create a new deck bash scripts/script.sh create "Quarterly Review" --author "Kelly" # Add a title slide bash scripts/script.sh add deck_abc --title "Welcome" --content "Q1 2026 Results" --layout title # Edit slide content bash scripts/script.sh edit slide_xyz --content "Updated revenue figures" # Reorder a slide to position 3 bash scripts/script.sh reorder slide_xyz --position 3 # Apply a theme bash scripts/script.sh theme deck_abc --set dark # Show outline bash scripts/script.sh outline deck_abc # Add speaker notes bash scripts/script.sh notes slide_xyz --set "Mention customer growth" # Export deck to HTML bash scripts/script.sh export deck_abc --format html --output presentation.html # List available templates bash scripts/script.sh template --list ``` ## Output Format All commands output structured JSON to stdout. The `export --format html` command outputs a self-contained HTML file with embedded CSS and JavaScript for presentation mode. ## Slide Layouts Built-in layout types: `title`, `content`, `two-column`, `image`, `blank`, `section-header`. ## Themes Built-in themes: `default`, `dark`, `light`, `corporate`, `creative`, `minimal`. ## Templates Built-in templates: `blank`, `pitch-deck`, `quarterly-review`, `project-proposal`, `workshop`. ## Notes - Deck IDs are prefixed with `deck_` and slide IDs with `slide_`. - Slides maintain an `order` field for sequencing within a deck. - The HTML export includes keyboard navigation (arrow keys) and fullscreen mode. --- Powered by BytesAgain | bytesagain.com | hello@bytesagain.com
