# 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

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.

| 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]` |

| help | Show usage information | `help` |

| version | Show version number | `version` |

Examples

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

# Reorder a slide to position 3
