Make the room see your point.
A presentation with a point of view: generous type, deliberate layouts, speaker notes, and one faithful page per slide.

--- markdownto: [email protected] title: Make room for the idea aspect: '16:9' theme: paper font: editorial font-size: 28 --- ## A picture can open the conversation [layout:: image-right]  Start with something people can see. Give them one thought to carry into the room. ### Notes This is an AI-generated illustrative landscape, not a photograph of a named place. Use arrow keys to move through the deck. Each slide demonstrates an available layout. ## One idea. A little breathing room. [layout:: title] [background:: #20352b] [color:: #f7f3e8] [accent:: #edb58b] A small field guide to a richer presentation. ### Notes Pause here. The title layout gives a short thought room to land. ## Three things worth keeping [layout:: standard] - **A clear claim.** Say what this slide is here to do. - **Useful evidence.** Show the picture, example, or comparison. - **An honest ending.** Tell people what follows from it. ### Notes Bullets work best when they are short enough to hear and read at the same time. ## Let the picture do some work [layout:: image]  Space, light, and a clear point of attention. Illustrative AI-generated image. ## A line worth remembering [layout:: quote] [background:: #eee5d3] [color:: #443324] [accent:: #984329] > Give the idea room to land. An editorial principle for this example deck. ## From a list to a story [layout:: split] ### A list of things Features. Updates. More features. Everything asks for the same attention. --- ### A thread to follow A question. An example. A consequence. Each slide earns the next one. ## Find a rhythm [layout:: three-column] [font:: sans] [font-size:: 24] ### Notice Begin with a picture or a question. --- ### Understand Add evidence and a useful comparison. --- ### Decide End with one practical next step. ## The next chapter [layout:: section] [background:: #20352b] [color:: #f7f3e8] [accent:: #edb58b] A change of pace can make the next idea easier to hear. ## Two ways to explain an idea [layout:: image-left]  A photograph shows texture. An illustration reveals structure. Choose the image that explains your point. ## Make space for motion [layout:: video] [youtube:: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7lc1UVf-VE]  An official YouTube player demo. Load it when ready; the link also works outside the deck. ### Notes Playback needs the internet and a hosted page. Local files and PDF keep the YouTube link. Navigating away stops the embedded player. This demonstration video comes from YouTube's official IFrame API examples. ## Your next slide starts here [layout:: title] [font:: sans] [font-size:: 32] Keep one claim. Choose a layout. Check the fit. Then make it yours.
02
One clear meaning for every section
A level-2 heading is a slide. The canonical specification defines the precise structure, validation rules, and source-preservation guarantees. The companion skill teaches agents how to create useful content within that contract.
03
A file, a renderer, and precise operations
Validate after authoring. Open the file as an application. Use the spec-owned verbs for deterministic operations and inspect their machine-readable results.
mdto validate example.slides.md mdto render example.slides.md mdto slides --help
Every saved answer or weight stays in the Markdown. Publication exports preserve the authored content. No renderer invents missing facts.
04
Refuse ambiguity. Explain the repair.
