description

Create and edit Bento presentations — single-file .bento.html decks whose document is plain JSON in a "#bento-doc" script block. Use whenever the user wants a slide deck or presentation: starting from NOTHING (it downloads the latest Bento app from bento.page automatically), from source material, or by improving an existing .bento.html. Maps content to the right feature (charts, morph transitions, state slides, ken-burns, motion paths) instead of static text slides, then writes the document JSON in place. Full schema + recipes at https://bento.page/agents.md.

Authoring Bento decks

A Bento deck is one self-contained .bento.html file. The document is plain JSON in a single block:

<script type="application/bento+json" id="bento-doc"> { "format":"bento/slides", ... } </script>

You edit that block only, in place. Escape every < in the JSON as \u003c so it can never contain a literal </script>. Leave the rest of the file (the compressed runtime) untouched. In a chat context instead, the user copies the JSON out (Save ▾ → Copy document JSON) and pastes your replacement back (Save ▾ → Replace from JSON…); window.bento.loadDoc(json) does it from the console.

Starting from nothing

The user does NOT need Bento installed — the app ships inside every deck. When there is no .bento.html to edit, fetch the latest signed release yourself and author into it:

curl -fsSL https://bento.page/releases/slides/Bento_Slides.bento.html -o
