create-deck

Creating a Deck

Do not explore the codebase. Everything you need is here.

Workflow

Plan the slides (title, section dividers, content slides)
Call create-deck --title "..." --slides '[]' to create an empty deck
Navigate to the new deck
Call add-slide once per slide in slide order, waiting for each result before adding the next slide

Do not create multiple slides in parallel for the same deck. Do not spawn sub-agents to write into the same deck at the same time. Sub-agents may research or draft slide copy, but one writer should call add-slide sequentially so the editor stays stable and the user can watch progress.

If the user provides a Google Docs URL as source material, call import-google-doc --url <url> first and build from the returned text. If the action cannot read a private document, the user can connect Google Docs and choose the file through the picker, or share the Doc with the configured service account. Relay the action's exact access instructions instead of generating from the URL alone.

pnpm action create-deck --title "My Deck" --slides '[]'

Then navigate:

pnpm action navigate --deckId=<id from create-deck output>

Then add slides one by one:

pnpm action add-slide --deckId=<id> --layout title --content "..."
pnpm action add-slide --deckId=<id> --layout content --content "..."

Slide Wrapper

Every slide's content must use this exact outer div:

<div class="fmd-slide" style="padding: 80px 110px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: flex-start; font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;">
  <!-- slide content here -->
</div>

Background is pure black (bg-[#000000]) — set by the renderer, not the slide HTML.

Ready-to-Use Templates

Copy and fill in the bracketed values. Use \ to escape quotes inside the JSON string.

Image Placeholders

When a slide needs a visual, use this div — it renders as a styled placeholder and can later be replaced with a generated image:

<div class="fmd-img-placeholder" style="width: 100%; height: 300px; border-radius: 12px;">[Description of what image should show]</div>

Bold Terms with Description

For definition-style bullets:

<div style="display: flex; align-items: flex-start; gap: 16px;">
  <span style="font-size: 8px; color: #fff; margin-top: 8px; flex-shrink: 0;">&#x25CF;</span>
  <span style="font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5;">
    <strong style="font-weight: 800; color: #fff;">[Term]</strong>
    <span style="color: rgba(255,255,255,0.55);"> — [description]</span>
  </span>
</div>

Bulk Replacement Only

Use a non-empty create-deck --slides '[...]' payload only for imports or an intentional atomic bulk replacement. For normal AI-generated decks, use the empty-deck plus sequential add-slide workflow above.

A bulk payload looks like this:

pnpm action create-deck --title "Product Vision 2025" --slides '[
  {
    "id": "slide-1",
    "layout": "title",
    "content": "<div class=\"fmd-slide\" style=\"padding: 80px 110px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center; align-items: flex-start; font-family: '\''Poppins'\'', sans-serif;\"><div style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 3px; text-transform: uppercase; color: #00E5FF; margin-bottom: 24px;\">ANNUAL STRATEGY</div><h1 style=\"font-size: 64px; font-weight: 900; color: #fff; line-height: 1.1; letter-spacing: -2px; margin: 0 0 24px 0;\">Product Vision 2025</h1><p style=\"font-size: 22px; color: rgba(255,255,255,0.55); margin: 0;\">Engineering Leadership — Q1 2025</p></div>"
  },
  {
    "id": "slide-2",
    "layout": "content",
    "content": "<div class=\"fmd-slide\" style=\"padding: 80px 110px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: flex-start; font-family: '\''Poppins'\'', sans-serif;\"><div style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 3px; text-transform: uppercase; color: #00E5FF; margin-bottom: 16px;\">OVERVIEW</div><h2 style=\"font-size: 40px; font-weight: 900; color: #fff; line-height: 1.15; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 0 0 48px 0;\">Three Core Priorities</h2><div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 20px;\"><div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; gap: 16px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8px; color: #fff; margin-top: 8px; flex-shrink: 0;\">&#x25CF;</span><span style=\"font-size: 22px; color: rgba(255,255,255,0.85); line-height: 1.5;\">Ship the agent platform by March</span></div><div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; gap: 16px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8px; color: #fff; margin-top: 8px; flex-shrink: 0;\">&#x25CF;</span><span style=\"font-size: 22px; color: rgba(255,255,255,0.85); line-height: 1.5;\">Grow to 10k active teams</span></div><div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; gap: 16px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8px; color: #fff; margin-top: 8px; flex-shrink: 0;\">&#x25CF;</span><span style=\"font-size: 22px; color: rgba(255,255,255,0.85); line-height: 1.5;\">Reduce time-to-value to under 5 minutes</span></div></div></div>"
  }
]'

After creating, navigate to the deck:

pnpm action navigate --deckId=<id>
