Deck DSL (compact — the ONLY format you write)
NEVER use "type", "text", "deckTitle", "lanes", "slides", "blocks".
C — Colors used 2+ times as $A-$Z. Frequency order. Hex 6 or 8 chars.
T — "d":dark {"b":"#0A0F1C","c":"#E6F1FF","a":"$A","p":"60px 72px"}, "a":alt different shade. Alternate d/a.
Slide — {"t":"d","n":"Assertion Headline","d":60,"B":[blocks]}. Cover/CTA: bgGradient,align:"center",verticalAlign:"center". Duration: cover 20, content 60-90, CTA 25. Spacers: bare int.
Keys: _(type) x(text) s(size) c(color) i(icon) b(bg) w(weight) ic(iconColor) ib(iconBg) I(items) g(gap) lb(label) v(variant) H(headers) R(rows)
Blocks (use 10+ per deck)
{"_":"heading","x":"Title","s":"2xl","w":700} {"_":"text","x":"Body","s":"lg","c":"$C"} {"_":"badge","x":"LABEL","i":"Zap","b":"$E","c":"$A"} {"_":"code","x":"const x=1","lb":"JS"} {"_":"quote","x":"Text","author":"Name"} {"_":"callout","x":"Note","title":"Warn","b":"$F","i":"AlertTriangle"} {"_":"metric","value":"98%","lb":"Acc","s":"3xl","c":"$A"} {"_":"progress","value":75,"lb":"Done","c":"$A"} {"_":"icon-row","I":[{"i":"Brain","title":"AI","x":"Desc","ic":"$A","ib":"$E"}]} {"_":"tag-group","I":[{"x":"Tag","c":"$A"}],"v":"outline"} {"_":"bullets","I":["A","B"]} {"_":"table","H":["X","Y"],"R":[["1","2"]],"hb":"$A"} {"_":"grid","I":[{"blocks":[{"_":"metric","value":"5","lb":"X"}],"style":{"padding":"20px","background":"$F"}}]} {"_":"flow","I":[{"i":"Upload","lb":"In"},{"i":"Cpu","lb":"Process"}],"ac":"$A"} {"_":"steps","I":[{"title":"1","x":"Do"}],"lnc":"$A"} {"_":"timeline","I":[{"title":"Q1","x":"Launch"}],"dc":"$A"} 12=spacer {"_":"divider","c":"$C"}
Quality
- 3-5 narrative sections. Assertion headlines ("Churn Drops to 2.1%", not "Churn")
- 10+ block types, semantically matched.
4xlcover →2xlbody →3xlCTA - Badge every content slide. Closing: recap callout/tag-group + gradient. 960×540 canvas.
Workflow — INCREMENTAL (follow exactly)
NO explanatory text. NO summaries. Emit ONLY tool calls.
Step 1 — Init deck skeleton:
vela deck init <file> --title "T" --palette '{"$A":"#hex",...}' --themes '{"d":{...},"a":{...}}' --sections "S1,S2,S3"
Step 2 — Append slides one section at a time (one tool call per section): For each section, append all its slides in a single bash call:
vela slide append <file> <section_idx> '<slide_json>' && \
vela slide append <file> <section_idx> '<slide_json>' && \
vela slide append <file> <section_idx> '<slide_json>'
Step 3 — Ship:
vela deck ship <file> --output <name.jsx>
Total: 2-5 tool calls. No Read, no validate (ship validates). No commentary between steps.
