Examples

decktalk init writes the starter unless --example names another project. Each one builds with no account and no spend, the motion example once its program is allowed, and each is a whole project to read and change.

Example	Command	What it shows	Read with
starter	`decktalk init my-lesson`	Three sections on one page: reveals on their words, a step back and a return, a formula in KaTeX and a line that lights word by word.	Quickstart
lesson	`decktalk init --example lesson my-lesson`	A finished lesson of about two minutes on how a model learns, on a page of its own.	Lessons
interview	`decktalk init --example interview my-interview`	A narrator and a guest, two voices, whose second section is a dialogue with each turn its own take.	Write a dialogue
motion	`decktalk init --example motion my-motion`	Motions in the markup and from a script, a loop, a spring, and a render section whose picture a program draws.	Things that move

Build any of them the same way, from inside the project:

decktalk build --no-spend

The motion example’s third section is a render section, and its program runs only on a machine that allows it. Read render/draw_bars, then allow it for one run:

decktalk build --no-spend --set record.programs=run

Without it the build is refused before its first stage with an INPUT error naming the program. Pages and programs you did not write says how far a program is trusted. Every example plays a placeholder where a voice would be, because no voice id is set. To voice one, set each [voices.NAME] id in decktalk.toml and put your ElevenLabs key in .env, as the quickstart shows.
