Build a slide deck whose source is text and whose figures are laid out by TALA — one Markdown file with a ```d2 fence per figure, compiled to a self-contained HTML deck (keyboard nav, overview grid, print-to-PDF), each figure as its own SVG, and a copy manifest. The deck is a page, so vlmkit's own gates read it: `check integrity` for a slide that breaks or clips, `check copy --manifest` for text the frame cut off, `check a11y contrast` for a projector. Loop: write `deck.md` → build → gates →…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# d2-slides

Paths below: `<skill>` is this skill's directory and `<skills>` the directory the skills are
installed in (`skills/` in mizchi/explainer, `.claude/skills/` in a project that installed them).

A deck is text: the prose is Markdown, every figure is a ```d2 fence, and the
build is a pure function of the file. Nothing is dragged, so a slide can be
reviewed in a diff, regenerated after a rename, and — because the output is an
HTML page — **checked**. That last part is the point: a slide deck normally has
no failing state, so nobody notices the bullet the frame cut in half.

```bash
node <skill>/assets/build-deck.mjs deck.md --out built
# ✓ built/index.html: 8 slides, 5 figure(s) laid out by tala, 26 copy lines → built/copy.txt
#   the deck:   built/index.html   → vlmkit check integrity
#   all slides: built/print.html   → vlmkit check copy --manifest, check a11y contrast, print to PDF
```

Requires `d2` with TALA (`d2 layout` must list `tala (bundled)` — see
`d2-diagram` for installing it) and nothing else: the builder has no
dependencies and the deck loads no network resource.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mizchi/explainer/d2-slides@sha256:f18527eca8884179

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.fb5b169, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
