codeck outputs a single HTML file, built by build-html.sh wrapping assemble.sh:
| Author | File | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Human (fixed) | engine.js + engine.css + build-html.sh |
Navigation, fragments, overview, speaker mode, progress bar, final HTML validation |
| AI (per deck) | custom.css |
:root variables + layout primitives + per-page styles + mobile |
| AI (per deck) | slides.html |
<section class="slide" data-notes="..."> free HTML |
Engine code is fixed. AI handles content and visuals only.

Decision Ask records live in threads/ before any runtime question

@outline → deck.md

@review → export (PDF/PPTX) / speech
Core idea: fixed role lanes own artifacts; dynamic people from diagnosis.md shape the judgment inside those lanes. The room is the durable scope; necessary asks are decision records first and UI questions second.
Room documents have rank:
- Current truth: MEMORY.md, deck.md, DESIGN.md, custom.css, slides.html, latest assembled HTML, speech.md when present.
- Work state: diagnosis.md, active tasks, open threads plus the Decision Ask ledger, roles/*.md, latest valid review.md.
- Audit trail: channel/YYYY-MM-DD.md, legacy PROJECT.md, legacy design-notes.md, superseded reviews, and old previews. Audit never overrides current truth.
- Domain — determines outline role
- Expression challenge — determines design role
- Audience starting point — determines review role (inverse: listener most likely to struggle)
Skills resolve their install location in this order: CODECK_SKILL_DIR / CODECK_DESIGN_DIR / CODECK_EXPORT_DIR env overrides → ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/* (Claude Code plugin install) → plugin cache globs (~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/codeck/*/skills/*, ~/.codex/plugins/cache/*/codeck/*/skills/*) → flat installs (~/.agents/skills/codeck*/, ~/.codex/skills/codeck*/, ~/.claude/skills/codeck*/). The first match wins, so the same SKILL.md works as a Claude Code plugin, a Codex plugin, or a flat skills.sh install. Sibling lane directories are derived by codeck/scripts/resolve-dirs.sh (siblings hold in every layout), sourced from each skill's unified Setup bootstrap block.
Two directories at runtime:
- cwd — the user's project. codeck reads materials here, writes final deliverables here (HTML, PDF, PPTX).
~/.codeck/projects/{slug}/— codeck's deck room. Reads and writes MEMORY.md, channel/tasks/threads/roles, diagnosis.md, deck.md, DESIGN.md, custom.css, slides.html, review.md, and speech.md. Legacy outline.md is audit-only when found.

The four plugin manifests are JSON and cannot carry L3 header comments; their contracts live in this map and are enforced by scripts/check-plugin-metadata.mjs. The bundle version in both plugin.json files bumps on any released change to skills/, independently of per-skill frontmatter versions.
