A presentation app that loads structured asset directories as topics and panels, rendered in the terminal.

Sample slide

Requires Rust. Install via rustup:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Build the app:

make build

Pass the path to your assets directory:

Build and install the application:

make install

Then run it with the included demo assets:

present --assets-dir assets/demo

assets/
 01-topic-name/ # Topics load in numeric order
 01/ # Panels load in numeric order within a topic
 text.md
 02/
 prompt.md
 03/
 diagram.md
 02-another-topic/
 ...

Each panel directory (01, 02, ...) may contain one or more asset files. A panel can mix types — e.g. a text.md and a prompt.md together.

Markdown rendered in the panel. Use for talking points, explanations, or any content you want visible on screen.

# Section Title
Key point one.
Key point two.

The first heading becomes the panel label.

A prompt ready to fire at Claude during the presentation. Displayed in the lower portion of the screen. Press s to stage it — a countdown starts, giving you time to switch to Claude — then the prompt is automatically typed into an iTerm2 session via AppleScript. If iTerm2 is not available it falls back to copying the prompt to the clipboard for manual paste (⌘V).

The first heading becomes the label shown in the UI; everything after it is the prompt text sent to Claude.

# Prompt label shown in UI
Actual prompt text sent to Claude.
