## Minimal Deck Template
Every deck follows this structure — `assets/base.css` + one theme file + `runtime.js`:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>My Talk</title>
<!-- Base system -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/base.css" />
<!-- Pick ONE theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/themes/tokyo-night.css" />
<!-- Optional: animations -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/animations/animations.css" />
</head>
<body>
<!-- Slide 1: Cover -->
<section class="slide" data-layout="cover">
<div class="slide-content">
<h1 class="animate-on-enter rise-in">My Presentation</h1>
<p class="animate-on-enter fade-up" style="--delay:0.3s">Subtitle goes here</p>
</div>
</section>
<!-- Slide 2: Bullets -->
<section class="slide" data-layout="bullets">
<div class="slide-content">
<h2>Key Points</h2>
<ul class="stagger-list">
<li>First important point</li>
<li>Second important point</li>
<li>Third important point</li>
</ul>
</div>
</section>
<!-- Slide 3: Big Quote -->
<section class="slide" data-layout="big-quote">
<div class="slide-content">
<blockquote class="animate-on-enter zoom-pop">
"Design is not just what it looks like. Design is how it works."
