Lists the presentation templates, slide layouts (with the text fields and icon slots each one has) and color themes. Call this first.

Searches the ~1,500 bundled Phosphor icon names (e.g. 'rocket', 'chart', 'users').

Creates a new GlideDeck project file from a template (default 'blank') and returns its slides with every element id and placeholder text. The file is a regular GlideDeck project the user can open and edit later.

Returns the title, theme and slides in show order, with the id, name and current text of every text element, icon and image on each slide.

Adds a slide from a layout (see catalog) after the given slide (default: at the end), styled with the presentation's theme, and fills its text fields and icons.

Changes elements by id: text for text boxes (use \n for new paragraphs; with markdown: true, bold, italic, underline and strike become formatting), icon for icons, color (#RRGGBB) for text, icons and shapes, parallax for depth in the show (0.3–0.7 far backdrop that drifts slower, negative = near, moves faster).

Adds a themed text box to a slide. Slide coordinates are 1600 × 900 units with (0, 0) at the center.

Copies an image or SVG file into the project's assets/ folder and places it on a slide (slide units: 1600 × 900, origin at the center).

Restyles the whole presentation with a theme from catalog (colors, fonts and background).

Removes a slide from the show; its frame and content are deleted unless keep_content is true or another step uses the same frame.

Applies a batch of low-level GlideDeck operations atomically (all or nothing). Ops: add_element {element}, remove_element {id}, set_transform {id, x?, y?, scale?, rotation?}, set_kind {id, kind}, set_name {id, name}, set_opacity {id, opacity}, reorder {id, index?}, set_title {title}, set_background {color}, add_step {frame, index?}, remove_step {index}, move_step {from, to}. Each op is an object with an "op" field, e.g. {"op":"set_transform","id":"text-1","y":120}. Coordinates here are world units.

Renders a slide (1-based step; 0 = the whole canvas) to a PNG and returns it, so you can check layout, overflow and contrast. Optionally also saves it.

Exports the presentation to .pptx: one slide per step, with Morph transitions. Defaults to the project's name with .pptx.

Converts a .pptx into a GlideDeck project: each slide becomes a frame with its text (with formatting), shapes, pictures, background and speaker notes, in slide order. Tables, charts and SmartArt are listed as skipped. Returns the slides like get_presentation.

Moves every slide on the path into a new layout and path (each slide's content moves with it; the order is kept). Great after import_pptx, which arrives as a plain grid. Layouts: carousel (slides side by side gliding over a parallax backdrop), spiral, orbits, sunflower, ring, honeycomb, journey, wave, staircase, tree, zoom-tunnel, snake, grid.

Adds in-slide animations (builds) to objects, played in order during the show: each on_click animation waits for the next click; with_previous starts together with the one before; after_previous starts when it ends. Kinds: appear (object hidden until it plays: fade, rise, focus, zoom, pop, drop, fly, spin, typewriter, words, count_up), emphasis (pulse, wiggle, glow, spotlight, highlight, underline, color_pop) and disappear (fade_out, sink, zoom_out, fly_out, shrink). Each object animates on the slide that shows it (or step). The first animation of a slide set to with/after_previous plays as soon as the camera arrives.

Gives slides a polished entrance cascade in reading order that plays as the camera arrives: titles focus, text rises, numbers count up, icons pop, pictures zoom. Replaces those slides' animations. Then add key-moment emphasis with animate.

Sets how the camera travels into slides: smooth (zoom out, then in), direct, swoop (sideways arc with a roll), spin (barrel roll), punch (overshoot and settle), fade (dip through the background) or cut. styles cycles a list over the slides for variety.

Sets the speaker notes of slides (Markdown: # heading, - bullet, bold). The presenter sees them in presenter view, next to the live slide; the audience doesn't.

Removes the in-slide animations of the given slides (default: all).

Exports the presentation to PDF: one page per slide on the path, rendered exactly as in the show. Defaults to the project's name with .pdf.

Saves the project under a new name or folder (media files are copied along), e.g. to keep a version the user will edit later in GlideDeck.

Opens the project in the GlideDeck editor on the user's computer so they can edit and present it.
