bon

Generate slides from markdown using your real PowerPoint templates.

Early release — bon is under active development.

Why bon?

AI can write great slide content, but it can never get things on-brand. No matter what you try, fonts, logos, and colors end up slightly wrong — and you spend hours fixing it by hand.

bon helps AI agents build presentations using your actual slide templates, so they're always on-brand. You define a theme with available layouts design assets, from which agents can quickly build new presentations from markdown files.

npm install @tycoworks/bon

Build:

bon build deck.md                   # → deck.pptx

CLI

All commands look for theme.json in the current directory.

bon build deck.md       # markdown → PPTX
bon smoke               # one slide per layout → smoke-all.pptx
bon plugin              # generate AI agent plugin package
bon manifest            # print layout + asset catalog to stdout

Theme Structure

A theme packages a PPTX template, design assets, and a config file into one directory.

my-theme/
  template/corp-template.pptx
  assets/logos/
  assets/icons/
  theme.json
  package.json

Template — the PPTX file with named shapes that bon fills. Layout — a slide pattern in the template (Title, Body, Quote, etc.). Theme — the directory that bundles a template, assets, and config. Manifest — a machine-readable catalog of layouts and assets for AI agents.
