| description | Build interactive presentation websites — slide decks projected to a room, controlled by one presenter. Use this skill WHENEVER the user wants to create, build, or design a presentation, slide deck, talk, or "bài thuyết trình / slide / trình chiếu", and also when they ask to add/edit slides, restyle a deck, scaffold a new presentation project, reuse their presentation setup in another repo, or export slides to PDF — even if they don't say the word "slide" but clearly need projected talk visuals (e.g. "I'm giving a talk next week and need visuals", "dựng deck cho buổi chia sẻ", "làm mấy trang chiếu cho hội thảo"). Supports two tracks: a zero-build single HTML file, or a Vite + React project. Do NOT use it for printable documents, normal web apps, or dashboards meant for individual users to interact with. |
Interactive presentation builder
Build slide decks that run as a website and are projected to a room. The deck is the
visual half of a talk; the presenter does the talking. Two ways to build, one shared
design language.
First, the mental model (read before writing any code)
There is one operator (the presenter) on one machine. Slides go on a big screen;
the audience only looks — they never click, type, or interact. Everything below
follows from this. Two failure modes to avoid:
- Text too small. Slides are read from across a room, not on a laptop. Never use
web-reading sizes (
text-sm, 16px). Honour the typography floor (body ≥ ~40px on a
1080p canvas). See references/design-system.md.
- Building an app. No input fields, no "Submit", no login, no data collection — there
is no backend and nowhere for data to go. Interaction is only the presenter clicking to
reveal/advance content. If a component asks "where does this data go?", it's wrong.
references/design-system.md is the heart of this skill — the typography floor, allowed
interaction, layout recipes, motion, and palette. Read it whenever you design or restyle
slide content.
Workflow
- Understand the talk. Topic, audience, speaker (name/role for the title slide), tone,
rough number of slides, and any brand colours/logo. For Vietnamese content the default
voice is plain, honest, direct — no marketing hype.
- Pick a track (below). If unsure, ask once; otherwise default to plain HTML for
small/quick decks and React for substantial, maintained talks.
- Scaffold with the matching script — don't hand-assemble the boilerplate.
- Build slides following
references/design-system.md: one idea per slide, few
words, real visuals, projection-legible type, presenter-only interaction.
- Keep the required chrome: a visible bottom navigation slider (dot strip) and slide
number. Both scaffolds include it — don't remove it.
- Write speaker notes in the
<deck-name>-notes.md file the scaffold creates (never
on the slides themselves).
- Export to PDF if asked — see
references/export-pdf.md.
Put each deck in its own folder. Keep any live-demo app as a separate project, not inside
the deck.
Choosing a track
| Pick | When | Reference |
|---|
| Plain HTML | Zero setup wanted; runs by opening a file; quick deck; shareable anywhere; no toolchain. Gets unwieldy past ~15–20 rich slides. | references/html-track.md |
| Vite + React | Many slides, reusable components, state-driven interactions, TypeScript, Framer Motion, maintained/re-run talks. | references/react-track.md |
Both produce the same projected experience and obey the same design system; they differ
only in implementation.
Scaffolding
Plain HTML — single self-contained index.html, Tailwind via CDN, no build:
bash scripts/new-html-deck.sh <deck-name> [target-dir] [--title "Deck title"]
Vite + React — scaffolds with the official Vite tool and installs the latest
React, Tailwind, Framer Motion, and Lucide (versions are intentionally not pinned, so
each deck starts on current tooling), then layers the App → Deck → Slide architecture:
bash scripts/new-react-deck.sh <deck-name> [target-dir] [--no-install]
cd <deck-name> && npm run dev
After scaffolding, read the matching track reference for how slides are structured and how
to add/reorder them, then build the content.

motion, palette. The core; consult for any content/design work.
