Each data command (draft, edit, optimize, schedule, hashtags, hooks, cta, rewrite, translate, tone, headline, outline) works in two modes:

• Without arguments — displays the 20 most recent entries from its log
• With arguments — saves the input with a timestamp to its dedicated log file

Data Storage

All data is stored in ~/.local/share/slideshow-generator/:

• draft.log, edit.log, optimize.log, schedule.log, hashtags.log, hooks.log — per-command log files
• cta.log, rewrite.log, translate.log, tone.log, headline.log, outline.log — additional command logs
• history.log — unified activity history across all commands
• export.json, export.csv, export.txt — generated export files

Set SLIDESHOW_GENERATOR_DIR environment variable to override the default data directory.

Requirements

• Bash 4+ with standard coreutils (date, wc, du, tail, grep, sed)
• No external dependencies — pure shell implementation

When to Use

1. Drafting slide decks — quickly draft and iterate on presentation content from the terminal
2. Refining presentation text — edit, rewrite, or adjust tone of existing slide content
3. Scheduling talks — keep track of upcoming presentation dates and deadlines
4. Creating social hooks — generate hashtags, headlines, and CTAs for promoting talks online
5. Outlining presentations — structure a talk from scratch with hierarchical outlines
