Agent behavior
When the user asks to work with themes (list, get, generate, apply), do the following.
1. Choose the right endpoint
| User intent | Endpoint | Method |
|---|
| List/browse themes, search themes | /api/v2/themes | GET |
| Get one theme by ID | /api/v2/themes/<theme_id> | GET |
| Save a theme manually | /api/v2/themes | POST |
| Update theme metadata | /api/v2/themes/<theme_id> | PUT |
| Delete theme | /api/v2/themes/<theme_id> | DELETE |
| Generate theme from prompt (async) | /api/v2/themes/generate | POST |
| Regenerate / adjust theme (async) | /api/v2/themes/<theme_id>/regenerate | POST |
| Apply a theme to a slide deck | /api/v2/themes/apply | POST |
| Unapply theme from deck | /api/v2/themes/unapply | POST |
| List current user’s themes | /api/v2/themes/by-user-id | GET |
2. Build and run the request
Step 1 — Check environment variables first. Before running any curl command, verify both LAYERPROOF_BASE_URL and LAYERPROOF_API_KEY are set on the user's machine:
if [[ -z "${LAYERPROOF_BASE_URL}" ]]; then
echo "ERROR: LAYERPROOF_BASE_URL is not set."
return 1
fi
if [[ -z "${LAYERPROOF_API_KEY}" ]]; then
echo "ERROR: LAYERPROOF_API_KEY is not set."
return 1
fi
If running from a project directory with a .env.local file, load it first:
if [[ -f .env.local ]]; then
set -a
source .env.local
set +a
fi
Step 2 — Auth: Every request must include X-API-KEY: $LAYERPROOF_API_KEY. Read LAYERPROOF_BASE_URL and LAYERPROOF_API_KEY from the environment; if missing, tell the user to set them.
Step 3 — GET: Build curl with the chosen path and query params (offset, limit, search for list). Run the curl and show the result.
Step 4 — POST: Build a JSON body from the user's input (prompt, theme ID, slide deck ID, etc.). Use -X POST, -H "Content-Type: application/json", and -d '...'. Run the curl and show the result.
3. After generate or apply (with regeneration)
- Generate theme: Response includes
activity_id and theme_id. Tell the user the theme was started and give theme_id. Optionally poll GET $LAYERPROOF_BASE_URL/api/v2/jobs/<activity_id> until status is DONE or CANCELED, then report outcome.
- Apply theme with
regenerate_slides: true: Response may include activity_id. If present, tell the user regeneration was started and optionally poll GET .../api/v2/jobs/<activity_id> for status.
4. Response handling
- Always show the raw JSON response in a JSON code block; do not convert to a table.
- If the response contains a URL for an image (e.g.
preview_url), show the image and the JSON.
- On error (4xx/5xx), show the response body and status code; suggest fixing missing/invalid API key, IDs, or request body.
5. Example workflows
Workflow A — User: "Generate a theme with prompt: minimal dark mode."
- Choose
POST /api/v2/themes/generate.
- Build body:
{"prompt":"minimal dark mode"}.
- Run:
curl -X POST "$LAYERPROOF_BASE_URL/api/v2/themes/generate" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-API-KEY: $LAYERPROOF_API_KEY" -d '{"prompt":"minimal dark mode"}'.
- Show the JSON response; if it contains
activity_id, mention they can poll /api/v2/jobs/{activityId} for status and use theme_id once done.
Workflow B — User: "List themes, generate a new 'corporate blue' theme, wait for it to finish, then apply it to my slide deck and regenerate slides."
- GET
/api/v2/themes with optional limit, offset, search; show list. User may pick existing or request new.
- POST
/api/v2/themes/generate with {"prompt":"corporate blue"}; capture activity_id and theme_id.
- Poll
GET /api/v2/jobs/{activity_id} until status is DONE (or CANCELED). If DONE, theme is ready; if failed, report failure_reason.
- Resolve projectId and slideDeckId (projects + slide-deck). POST or PUT the slide-deck theme/settings endpoint with
theme_id (e.g. PUT .../slide-deck/.../settings with {"theme_id":"<theme_id>"}).
- Use POST
/api/v2/themes/apply with regenerate_slides: true if you want slide images regenerated; capture activity_id and poll jobs until DONE. Otherwise apply with regenerate_slides: false or omit.
Workflow C — User: "I have a theme ID; apply it to deck X and only update the look (no slide regeneration)."
- POST
/api/v2/themes/apply with {"slide_deck_id":"<slide_deck_uuid>","theme_id":"<theme_uuid>"} (omit regenerate_slides or set false).
- Confirm with GET deck; no job polling needed unless
regenerate_slides was true.
Response format (required)
- (if response contains url to show image) please show image and show json response instead of table
- Always show the raw JSON response (verbatim) in a JSON code block.
- If the response contains a URL for an image, render/show the image and also show the JSON response (do not convert to a table).
