How kenwheeler/slick works
Slick is a jQuery carousel/slider library. A page initializes it on slide elements with options; Slick builds and positions the carousel, responds to navigation and gestures, and supports responsive behavior, lazy image loading, accessibility, synchronized sliders, and lifecycle events. Runtime behavior is concentrated in slick/slick.js; styling is provided separately. The README documents capabilities whose individual implementations are not fully shown in the sampled source, so only documented, direct relationships are represented.
