The post received a fair bit of attention and was requested as a session at the Bay Area Drupal Camp (BADcamp). I continue to look for ways to leverage AI for something useful, so I decided to ask it to help me create Reveal.js slides.

Needless to say, I have more than 10 recommendations at this point. To that end, I'm revisiting this important topic as of August 2025.

You can now "unpack" recipes after they are run so that your composer.json will have the direct dependencies from the recipe rather than a dependency on the recipe itself.
