Marp Authoring Entry

Overview

Thin entry skill for Marp/Marpit authoring. Core principle: route directly to the authoring references instead of skimming the full slide-creator bundle.

When to Use

• Writing Marp/Marpit slides (syntax, directives, layouts)
• Looking for theme features or authoring best practices
• You already have colors and no SVG diagram work

Quick Reference

Syntax & directives	references/syntax-guide.md
Layout patterns	references/patterns.md
Complex layouts	references/advanced-layouts.md
Themes	references/themes.md
QA checklist	references/best-practices.md

Example

Prompt: "Need a split layout with a code block." → Read syntax-guide.md, then advanced-layouts.md.
