AgentiaPT Vela Slides — Compact Format
Write the deck as compact JSON. The validator auto-expands compact to full format.
Format
{"n":"Deck Title","C":{color palette},"T":{themes},"S":[slides]}
Color Palette C
"C":{"$A":"#3B82F6","$B":"#E6F1FF","$C":"#8892B0","$D":"#0A0F1C","$E":"#1e293b","$F":"#3B82F620","$G":"#10B981"}
Map hex colors to $A-$Z aliases. Use aliases everywhere in the deck.
Themes T
"T":{"d":{"b":"$D","c":"$B","a":"$A","p":"36px 48px"},"a":{"b":"$E","c":"$B","a":"$A","p":"36px 48px"}}
d=dark, a=alt dark. Keys: b=bg, c=text color, a=accent, p=padding (CSS string).
Slides S
{"t":"d","n":"Slide Title","d":60,"B":[...blocks...]}
t=theme ref, n=title, d=duration in seconds (integer), B=blocks array.
Cover/CTA slides add: "bgGradient":"linear-gradient(135deg, $D 0%, $E 100%)","align":"center","verticalAlign":"center"
Spacers: bare integer (e.g. 8 not {"_":"spacer","h":8}).
Blocks
Keys: _=type, x=text, s=size(xs|sm|md|lg|xl|2xl|3xl|4xl), c=color, i=icon, b=bg, w=weight(int), ic=iconColor, ib=iconBg, I=items, g=gap(int), lb=label, v=variant, H=headers, R=rows
heading: {"_":"heading","x":"Text","s":"3xl","w":700}

icon-row: {"_":"icon-row","I":[{"icon":"Zap","title":"Feature","x":"Description","ic":"$A","ib":"$F"},...]}
Each item MUST have a different ic color.
table: {"_":"table","H":["Col1","Col2","Col3"],"R":[["a","b","c"],["d","e","f"]],"striped":true,"headerBg":"$E","headerColor":"$B"}
grid: {"_":"grid","cols":3,"g":16,"I":[{"blocks":[...block objects...],"style":{"padding":"16px","background":"rgba(255,255,255,0.05)","borderRadius":"8px"}},...]}
Grid items MUST have "blocks":[...] array (not bare blocks). Style uses full CSS key names.
metric: {"_":"metric","value":"42%","lb":"Label","s":"3xl","c":"$A"}
flow: {"_":"flow","I":[{"i":"FileText","lb":"Step 1","sublabel":"Details"},...],"arrowColor":"$A","direction":"horizontal"}
Optional: "loop":true,"loopLabel":"Repeat", item-level "gate":true
steps: {"_":"steps","I":[{"title":"Step 1","x":"Description"},...],"lineColor":"$A","numberColor":"$A"}

Design Rules
- Canvas 960×540. Max 5-7 blocks per slide (spacers don't count).
- Headlines: assertions with data ("AI Cuts Time 60%"), never labels ("Overview").
- Background: alternate
"t":"d"and"t":"a"across slides. Cover + CTA usebgGradient. - Every content slide starts with a
badgeblock. icon-rowitems: each must have a distincticcolor.- Problem slides: use
grid+metricblocks with warning colors. - Solution slides: use
flow+callout. - CTA slides: use
tag-groupwith actionable links. - Group slides into items (sections) when using full format. Compact
Sarray is fine. - Duration: title slides 15-30s, content 60-90s, dense 90-180s.
- Icons: PascalCase Lucide names (Zap, Brain, Rocket, Shield, Target, Clock, Users, Globe, Code, Database, Lightbulb, TrendingUp, BarChart, Bot, Sparkles, Mail, Play, ArrowRight).
Workflow
- Write compact JSON to the requested file path
- Validate:
python3 /path/to/vela.py deck validate <file>The validator auto-expands compact format. You do NOT need to write lanes/items/slides structure. - Report: After validation, output a brief quality report for the user:
- Slide count and total duration
- Block types used
- Any validation warnings (block count, missing fields)
- Suggestions: "To improve this deck, consider: ..." (1-2 specific actionable tips) Keep the report concise (5-8 lines max).
