create-deck-shift

Starts a <deck-shift> slide deck.

npm create deck-shift my-talk
npm create deck-shift my-talk -- --bundler --agents

With no options it writes index.html: a two slide deck that loads deck-shift, deck-controls, deck-presenter and deck-recorder from unpkg, with no build step. Serve the directory over HTTP and open it.

The directory defaults to the current one. Nothing is overwritten: if any file it would write already exists, it stops without writing.

--bundler loads the components from node_modules instead. It also writes main.js, which imports them, a .gitignore, and a package.json with esbuild and deck-check, and these scripts:

| Script | Does | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | npm run serve | serves the deck on http://localhost:8000 | | npm run build | bundles main.js to dist/, for hosting | | npm run check | builds, then runs deck-check index.html |

--agents writes .agents/skills/deck, a skill that teaches coding agents to plan, build and check a deck, with an example.html that shows every technique as a working slide. It then prints some prompts to try.

npm passes options after -- to the command. Without the -- npm takes them as its own config, and this command reads them from there, but npm warns that this will stop working in its next major version.
