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

Examples

# 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.
