Triggers include keywords like "presentation", "ppt", "slides", "deck", "keynote", "reveal", "slideshow", "幻灯片", "演讲稿", "分享稿", "小红书图文", "talk slides", "pitch deck", "tech sharing", "technical presentation".

html-ppt — HTML PPT Studio

Author professional HTML presentations as static files. One theme file = one look. One layout file = one page type. One animation class = one entry effect. All pages share a token-based design system in assets/base.css.

What the skill gives you

• 36 themes (assets/themes/*.css) — minimal-white, editorial-serif, soft-pastel, sharp-mono, arctic-cool, sunset-warm, catppuccin-latte/mocha, dracula, tokyo-night, nord, solarized-light, gruvbox-dark, rose-pine, neo-brutalism, glassmorphism, bauhaus, swiss-grid, terminal-green, xiaohongshu-white, rainbow-gradient, aurora, blueprint, memphis-pop, cyberpunk-neon, y2k-chrome, retro-tv, japanese-minimal, vaporwave, midcentury, corporate-clean, academic-paper, news-broadcast, pitch-deck-vc, magazine-bold, engineering-whiteprint
• 38 oh-my-ppt reference styles (docs/readme/oh-my-ppt-style-previews/*.html) — reference-only visual directions for Chinese business reports, government/engineering presentations, cultural tourism, children's education, lifestyle, healing, and high-impact creator decks. Use them as style inspiration; do not link them as theme CSS files.
• 14 native full-deck templates (templates/full-decks/<name>/) — complete multi-slide decks with scoped .tpl-<name> CSS. 8 extracted from real-world decks (xhs-white-editorial, graphify-dark-graph, knowledge-arch-blueprint, hermes-cyber-terminal, obsidian-claude-gradient, testing-safety-alert, xhs-pastel-card, dir-key-nav-minimal), 6 scenario scaffolds (pitch-deck, product-launch, tech-sharing, weekly-report, xhs-post 3:4, course-module)
• 34 beautiful-html-templates (templates/beautiful-html-templates/<slug>/template.html) — vendored MIT templates with rich tone metadata for mood-first selection.
• 31 layouts (templates/single-page/*.html) with realistic demo data
• 27 CSS animations (assets/animations/animations.css) via data-anim
• 20 canvas FX animations (assets/animations/fx/*.js) via data-fx — particle-burst, confetti-cannon, firework, starfield, matrix-rain, knowledge-graph (force-directed), neural-net (pulses), constellation, orbit-ring, galaxy-swirl, word-cascade, letter-explode, chain-react, magnetic-field, data-stream, gradient-blob, sparkle-trail, shockwave, typewriter-multi, counter-explosion
• Keyboard runtime (assets/runtime.js) — arrows, T (theme), A (anim), F/S/O
• FX runtime (assets/animations/fx-runtime.js) — auto-inits [data-fx] on slide enter, cleans up on leave
• Showcase decks for themes / layouts / animations / full-decks gallery
• Headless Chrome render script for PNG export

When to use

Use when the user asks for any kind of slide-based output or wants to turn text/notes into a presentable deck. Prefer this over building from scratch.

Before you author anything — ALWAYS ask or recommend

Do not start writing slides until you understand three things. Either ask the user directly, or — if they already handed you rich content — propose a tasteful default and confirm.

1. Content & audience. What's the deck about, how many slides, who's watching (engineers / execs / 小红书读者 / 学生 / VC)?
2. Style / theme. Which of the 36 themes or 38 reference styles fits? If unsure, recommend 2-3 candidates based on tone:
   • Business / investor pitch → pitch-deck-vc, corporate-clean, swiss-grid
   • Tech sharing / engineering → tokyo-night, dracula, catppuccin-mocha, terminal-green, blueprint
   • 小红书图文 → xiaohongshu-white, soft-pastel, rainbow-gradient, magazine-bold
   • Academic / report → academic-paper, editorial-serif, blueprint
   • Government / SOE / engineering report → blueprint plus an oh-my-ppt reference style such as palace-ink-red, blue-white-chart, industrial-kaizen, or classic-duo-blue
   • Culture / tourism / Chinese aesthetics → reference chinese-ink-landscape, ink-wash-jiangnan, song-rain-poetic, or oriental-poetic-illustration
   • Edgy / cyber / launch → cyberpunk-neon, vaporwave, y2k-chrome, neo-brutalism
3. Starting point. One of the 14 native full-deck templates, one of the 34 beautiful-html-templates, or scratch? Point to the closest templates/full-decks/<name>/ and ask if it fits. If the user's content suggests something obvious (e.g. "我要做产品发布会" → product-launch), propose it confidently instead of asking blindly.

A good opening message looks like:

我可以给你做这份 PPT！先确认三件事：

1. 大致内容 / 页数 / 观众是谁？
2. 风格偏好？我建议从这 3 个主题里选一个：tokyo-night（技术分享默认好看）、xiaohongshu-white（小红书风）、corporate-clean（正式汇报）。
3. 要不要用我现成的 tech-sharing 全 deck 模板打底？

Only after those are clear, scaffold the deck and start writing.

Quick start

1. Scaffold a new deck. From the repo root:

   ./scripts/new-deck.sh my-talk
   open examples/my-talk/index.html
   

2. Pick a theme. Open the deck and press T to cycle. Or hard-code it:

   <link rel="stylesheet" id="theme-link" href="../assets/themes/aurora.css">
   

   Catalog in references/themes.md.
3. Pick layouts. Copy <section class="slide">...</section> blocks out of files in templates/single-page/ into your deck. Replace the demo data. Catalog in references/layouts.md.
4. Add animations. Put data-anim="fade-up" (or class="anim-fade-up") on any element. On <ul>/grids, use anim-stagger-list for sequenced reveals. For canvas FX, use <div data-fx="knowledge-graph">...</div> and include <script src="../assets/animations/fx-runtime.js"></script>. Catalog in references/animations.md.
5. Use a full-deck template. Copy templates/full-decks/<name>/ into examples/my-talk/ as a starting point. Each folder is self-contained with scoped CSS. Catalog in references/full-decks.md and gallery at templates/full-decks-index.html.
6. Render to PNG.

   ./scripts/render.sh templates/theme-showcase.html       # one shot
   ./scripts/render.sh examples/my-talk/index.html 12      # 12 slides
   

Authoring rules (important)

• Always start from a template. Don't author slides from scratch — copy the closest layout from templates/single-page/ first, then replace content.
• Use tokens, not literal colors. Every color, radius, shadow should come from CSS variables defined in assets/base.css and overridden by a theme. Good: color: var(--text-1). Bad: color: #111.
• Don't invent new layout files. Prefer composing existing ones. Only add a new templates/single-page/*.html if none of the 30 fit.
• Respect chrome slots. .deck-header, .deck-footer, .slide-number and the progress bar are provided by assets/base.css + runtime.js.
• Keyboard-first. Always include <script src="../assets/runtime.js"></script> so the deck supports ← → / T / A / F / S / O / hash deep-links.
• One .slide per logical page. runtime.js makes .slide.is-active visible; all others are hidden.
• Use the editor canvas contract. Standard decks are fixed 16:9 at 1280×720; set data-fs-canvas-width="1280" and data-fs-canvas-height="720" on <html>, keep visible content inside roughly 1120×600, and split dense content instead of using scrollable slide regions. Use 810×1080 only for 小红书 / xhs portrait output.
• When using beautiful-html-templates, preserve the chosen template visual system but output editor-compatible section.slide pages. Some source templates use div.slide or <deck-stage>; rewrite the final deck so every logical page is <section class="slide" data-slide-id="...">...</section>.
• When using oh-my-ppt reference styles, recreate the visual direction inside the editor contract. Keep the named reference's palette, texture, typography mood, page rhythm, and composition cues, but author normal HTML PPT slides with embedded CSS, section.slide[data-slide-id], speaker notes hidden in .notes, and no dependency on the preview HTML file.
• Supply notes. Wrap speaker notes in <div class="notes">…</div> inside each slide. Press S to open the overlay.
• NEVER put presenter-only text on the slide itself. Descriptive text like "这一页展示了……" or "Speaker: 这里可以补充……" or small explanatory captions aimed at the presenter MUST go inside <div class="notes">, NOT as visible <p> / <span> elements on the slide. The .notes class is display:none by default — it only appears in the S overlay. Slides should contain ONLY audience-facing content (titles, bullet points, data, charts, images).

Rendering to PNG

scripts/render.sh wraps headless Chrome at /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome. For multi-slide capture, runtime.js exposes #/N deep-links, and render.sh iterates 1..N.

./scripts/render.sh templates/single-page/kpi-grid.html        # single page
./scripts/render.sh examples/demo-deck/index.html 8 out-dir    # 8 slides, custom dir
