moda-deck-theme

PREREQUISITE — load moda-core once per session (step-0, write contract, free/metered map). Already loaded? Skip ahead. If you cannot load it, the non-negotiables: run moda doctor --json before anything; moda brand list before creating; writes that pin a revision use your last read's — on stale_revision, re-read and retry once (it heals); send the canvas link the moment it exists; stuck or failed? moda ask "<question>" — free and fast, never guess.

What this is

A wizard-style flow for establishing a deck's visual theme with the user before any real content exists. Runs on a blank 1920×1080 slides canvas — with a brand kit bound when one is in play — and ends with twelve placeholder slides that define a complete visual system. If the canvas already has designed slides, or the user wants specific content designed right now, say so and ask how they want to proceed.

Five phases, each gated on explicit approval. Do not generate the next phase without it — "what's next?" or "let's move on" is the gate. Anything the user said in their opening prompt supersedes the defaults below; acknowledge it so they know you read it.

Set up, then open by setting expectations in a sentence or two — four title directions, then section heads and a closing, then the workhorse layouts, pausing at each step, all content placeholder — and go straight into Phase 1:
