Start here

You are evaluating Narro or building your first deck.

Introduction What is Narro, and should I be writing markdown or React? Installation What do I install, and what does the project look like afterwards? First Deck What does a working React deck look like, end to end? Markdown Mode How do I split a slide, style one word, or reveal a line — without leaving the markdown file? Writing AI Prompts What do I tell an AI so the deck it writes actually builds? Rules for AI Agents What do I paste into my repo so an agent stops writing decks that build wrong?

Reference

You are writing a deck and need the exact name of something.

React API Which component or hook do I import, and what does it take? CLI Which command do I run, and what are its flags? Markdown API How do I read, edit, or validate a deck file from my own code instead of by hand? Component Reference What props does this component take, and which package do I import it from?

Guides

The deck works and you want it to do more, or to stop doing something.

Verifying a deck How do I know my deck is actually correct? Animation How do I reveal a list one line at a time, or move between slides with something other than a cut? Navigation How does the audience move through the deck, and how do I present it? Canvas & Positioning How do I put something at an exact position instead of in the flow? Images & Media How do I use an image as a background, tint it, or embed a video? Architecture Which package owns what, and why is the seam where it is? Transform Mode How do I zoom and pan across one big canvas instead of cutting between slides? Import & Export How do I get this deck out as PPTX, PDF, or one file I can email? AI Integration How do I wire an AI assistant up to Narro so it can write and build decks? Theming How do I change the colours, fonts, and overall look of a deck? Deck Templates How do I define one house style with named layouts my slides can reference, like a PowerPoint master? Troubleshooting Something is wrong with my deck. What is it, and how do I fix it? Limitations What can't Narro do, and what do I do instead?

Reading this as an AI agent?

Start with llms.txt. If you can only afford one fetch, take llms-full.txt instead — it is every page in one response.

/llms.txt — the index: install commands, the closed sets, and every page with the question it answers.
/llms-full.txt — all of the above with every page inlined. One fetch, no follow-ups.
/catalog.json — the closed sets. Every valid layout, theme, colour scheme, transition, font preset, template, and component name. If a name is not in here it does not exist, and inventing one produces a deck that builds and renders wrong.
/components.json — every component's props, read out of the TypeScript types rather than transcribed.
Any page, as markdown: append .md to its URL — /docs/markdown-mode.md. Same content, a fraction of the tokens, no markup to parse back out.
deck-frontmatter.schema.json and slide-frontmatter.schema.json — the frontmatter contract, generated from the parser's own definitions.
No web access? npm i -D @getnarro/docs ships all of the above through the registry that already installed your packages.
Then check your work: npx @getnarro/cli check deck.md. Documentation tells you what is possible; the checker tells you whether what you wrote is correct. See Rules for AI agents.
