Slideshow Generator#

Content creation and slide deck toolkit. Draft slides, edit content, optimize layouts, manage schedules, and generate headlines — all from the command line.

Commands#

Run slideshow-generator <command> [args] to use.

Each data command (draft, edit, optimize, schedule, hashtags, hooks, cta, rewrite, translate, tone, headline, outline) works in two modes:

• Without arguments — displays the 20 most recent entries from its log
• With arguments — saves the input with a timestamp to its dedicated log file

Data Storage#

All data is stored in ~/.local/share/slideshow-generator/:

• draft.log, edit.log, optimize.log, schedule.log, hashtags.log, hooks.log — per-command log files
• cta.log, rewrite.log, translate.log, tone.log, headline.log, outline.log — additional command logs
• history.log — unified activity history across all commands
• export.json, export.csv, export.txt — generated export files

Set SLIDESHOW_GENERATOR_DIR environment variable to override the default data directory.

Requirements#

• Bash 4+ with standard coreutils ( date, wc, du, tail, grep, sed)
• No external dependencies — pure shell implementation

When to Use#

1. Drafting slide decks — quickly draft and iterate on presentation content from the terminal
2. Refining presentation text — edit, rewrite, or adjust tone of existing slide content
3. Scheduling talks — keep track of upcoming presentation dates and deadlines
4. Creating social hooks — generate hashtags, headlines, and CTAs for promoting talks online
5. Outlining presentations — structure a talk from scratch with hierarchical outlines

Examples#

bash

# Draft slide content
slideshow-generator draft "Intro slide: Why AI agents matter in 2026"

# Create an outline
slideshow-generator outline "1. Problem Statement 2. Our Solution 3. Demo 4. Results 5. Q&A"

# Generate a headline
slideshow-generator headline "The Future of Autonomous Coding: 5 Trends to Watch"

# Write a hook
slideshow-generator hooks "What if your code could write itself? (pause) It already can."

# Create a CTA
slideshow-generator cta "Star our repo on GitHub — join 10k+ developers building the future"

# Optimize content
slideshow-generator optimize "Slide 3: reduced from 85 words to 32, added visual cue"

# Generate hashtags
slideshow-generator hashtags "#AIAgents #DevTools #Presentation #TechTalk #Automation"

# Schedule a talk

# Export all data as JSON
slideshow-generator export json
