The model in one screen
- One deck is one artifact. A deck is a folder of HTML pushed from the command line, and it lives in your account as one thing with a page of its own: the deck full-page under a bar where you rename it, duplicate it, share it, read its history and delete it. A push answers with that page. The deck is the artifact
- Every push is a version. Versions are immutable and numbered; unchanged files never upload twice; any version pulls back byte-exact. The owner sees the whole history, a recipient sees one version. Versions
- Links are made on top. A share link is a secret URL that opens the deck for whoever holds it, under a slim bar naming the deck, its version and its files, following the latest version or pinned to one, with its own switches (annotations, forms, downloads, the bar), an expiry, a password, view counts and instant revocation. A link is public to anyone with its URL; a deck with no link is private. Share links
- Files travel with the version. Whatever you put in a
downloads/folder is the version’s attachment set, downloadable from the link one by one or as a zip, and switched off per link when a recipient should look but not take. Attachments - A sandboxed viewer. User HTML renders under
Content-Security-Policy: sandbox: an opaque origin with no cookies, no storage, no credentialed API (viewer security model). - Collaborators and reviewers. Per-deck grants for external people who push new versions of one deck, and annotator links whose notes land in the owner’s inbox.
- Agents as first-class users. The
slidelessCLI, the/mcpendpoint with 22slideless_tools, and scopedslk_API keys: every instance is agent-ready at boot.
Two ways to run it
- Antasphere cloud: slideless.antasphere.com, operated by
Antasphere. Sign in with your Antasphere account, one account managed at
account.antasphere.comand shared across every Antasphere tool. Organizations and membership live there too. See Your Antasphere account. - Self-hosted: one Docker image plus a Postgres container, running entirely on your own machine. All state lives in your database and one data volume; nothing phones home. Every instance is its own OAuth 2.1 authorization server and API-key issuer, so nothing works or breaks because of anyone else’s infrastructure. Start at Install.
Where to go next
- Connect an agent: the five-minute on-ramp, pointing a CLI or an MCP host at your instance.
- The concepts: the deck as an artifact, versions, share links and attachments, one page each.
- Your Antasphere account: how sign-in, organizations and the CLI work on the cloud edition.
- The Slideless CLI and the MCP connector: the two agent surfaces in full.
- Install, reverse proxy, deployment profiles and upgrades: run your own instance.
- Backup and restore and the scaling drill: operate it with confidence.
- Security posture and the viewer security model: what is enforced, and how untrusted HTML is contained.
- Environment reference: every variable.
