@thebuilder/deckard-cli

The deckard command line for Deckard, a React presentation framework for Next.js. Scaffold a deck, check it, screenshot it, export it.

Start a deck

npx @thebuilder/deckard-cli init my-talk
cd my-talk
npm run dev

init writes a Next.js app with a sample deck in it, installs it with whichever package manager ran it, makes the first commit, and typechecks the result. It asks no questions. --theme <name> picks any built-in, --empty skips the sample deck, --no-install and --no-git do what they say.

Commands

Every command treats the current directory as the deck.

| Command | What it does | | --- | --- | | deckard init <dir> | Write a new deck | | deckard validate | The deck resolves, the theme is coherent, registry paths exist | | deckard doctor | Node, package resolution, the stylesheet import, the deck, the routes | | deckard check-overflow | Exits 1 naming any slide the canvas clips | | deckard screenshots | One PNG per slide at canvas size | | deckard contact-sheet | Every slide in one grid image | | deckard export pdf | One page per slide at canvas size | | deckard add <item> | Install a block or switch to a built-in theme | | deckard eject theme | Copy the theme's source into the deck |

validate and check-overflow exit non-zero and name the slide, so an agent can run them and act on the output.
