avo slides

Any doc is also a slide deck. Each # or ## heading starts a new slide; everything under it — prose and blocks — stays on that slide.

avo slides docs/plan.md      # one doc → a deck   (-p opens it, -o writes)

Layout markers like {split} and automatic pagination are covered in Slides & theming.

avo demo

Render the built-in showcase — every block, or one family — and open it. The fastest way to see what Avodado output looks like.

avo demo                     # every block (shows a picker in a terminal)
avo demo architecture        # just one family
avo demo -s                  # as a slide deck

avo compare

Every block rendered both ways at once — the page card beside the same block on a real slide — so you can see how a block translates from page to stage before you commit to it.

avo compare                  # all 87 blocks, doc | slide side by side
avo compare flows            # just one family

Each slide panel is a live one-slide deck, not a screenshot, and a Doc / Slide / Both toggle switches the layout.

avo catalog

List every block type in the terminal, grouped by family.

avo catalog                  # the list, with descriptions
avo catalog -p               # open an HTML gallery of live samples
avo catalog -p -s            # the same gallery as a deck

The web version is this site's /blocks page.

avo design

A library of 106 design-pattern templates — system design, AI/agent, and classic code patterns. Each gives you a ready-made pattern block with a diagram.

avo design                   # list the patterns
avo design strategy          # print a ready template (also copies it)
avo design rag -o docs/x.md  # scaffold it into a doc
avo design -p                # open the pattern gallery
