# Canva Classroom Helper — Lesson Plan to Deck

Transform a lesson plan into a clear, teachable presentation: learning goals on screen, logical flow, and slide-by-speaker-notes so the teacher can run the class from one deck.

## Workflow

1. **Get the lesson plan source** (always do this first — no substitute checklist)
   - **Do not** open with a generic two-part prompt (e.g. “paste the plan” *and then* “describe the topic and key points”). The **lesson plan** already carries topic and key points; asking twice is redundant and skips this step’s real work (text vs Canva link vs search).
   - If the user has **not** yet given a source, ask **one** short question that matches this step only, for example: *Paste your full lesson plan here, **or** give a Canva design link or **design ID**, **or** the exact title to search in Canva; if the plan is in a file, paste the contents or give a path you can read.* Then proceed along the branch below.
   - If the user provides the lesson plan as **text in chat**, use that as the full source
   - If the user provides a **Canva design ID** directly (the identifier from a design URL—typically starts with `D`, e.g. `DABcd1234ef`), use that value as `design_id` with `Canva:start-editing-transaction` to read its text content (same as reading from a link, without URL parsing)
   - If the user provides a **Canva design link** (e.g., `https://www.canva.com/design/DAG.../...`), extract the design ID from the path and use `Canva:start-editing-transaction` to read its text content
   - If the user references a **Canva doc or design by name**, use `Canva:search-designs` to find it, then `Canva:start-editing-transaction` to read its contents
