Frontend Slides Skill

Create zero-dependency, animation-rich HTML presentations that run entirely in the browser. This skill helps non-designers discover their preferred aesthetic through visual exploration ("show, don't tell"), then generates production-quality slide decks.

Core Philosophy

1. Zero Dependencies — Single HTML files with inline CSS/JS. No npm, no build tools.
2. Show, Don't Tell — People don't know what they want until they see it. Generate visual previews, not abstract choices.
3. Distinctive Design — Avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Every presentation should feel custom-crafted.
4. Production Quality — Code should be well-commented, accessible, and performant.
5. Viewport Fitting (CRITICAL) — Every slide MUST fit exactly within the viewport. No scrolling within slides, ever. This is non-negotiable.

CRITICAL: Viewport Fitting Requirements

This section is mandatory for ALL presentations. Every slide must be fully visible without scrolling on any screen size.

The Golden Rule

Each slide = exactly one viewport height (100vh/100dvh)
Content overflows? → Split into multiple slides or reduce content
Never scroll within a slide.

Content Density Limits

To guarantee viewport fitting, enforce these limits per slide:

If content exceeds these limits → Split into multiple slides

Required CSS Architecture

Every presentation MUST include this base CSS for viewport fitting:

/* ===========================================
   VIEWPORT FITTING: MANDATORY BASE STYLES
   These styles MUST be included in every presentation.
   They ensure slides fit exactly in the viewport.
   =========================================== */

/* 1. Lock html/body to viewport */
html, body {
    height: 100%;
    overflow-x: hidden;
}

html {
    scroll-snap-type: y mandatory;
    scroll-behavior: smooth;
}

/* 2. Each slide = exact viewport height */
.slide {
    width: 100vw;
    height: 100vh;
    height: 100dvh; /* Dynamic viewport height for mobile browsers */
    overflow: hidden; /* CRITICAL: Prevent ANY overflow */
    scroll-snap-align: start;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    position: relative;
}

/* 3. Content container with flex for centering */
.slide-content {
    flex: 1;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: center;
    max-height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden; /* Double-protection against overflow */
    padding: var(--slide-padding);
}

/* 4. ALL typography uses clamp() for responsive scaling */
:root {
    /* Titles scale from mobile to desktop */
    --title-size: clamp(1.5rem, 5vw, 4rem);
    --h2-size: clamp(1.25rem, 3.5vw, 2.5rem);
    --h3-size: clamp(1rem, 2.5vw, 1.75rem);

    /* Body text */
    --body-size: clamp(0.75rem, 1.5vw, 1.125rem);
    --small-size: clamp(0.65rem, 1vw, 0.875rem);

    /* Spacing scales with viewport */
    --slide-padding: clamp(1rem, 4vw, 4rem);
    --content-gap: clamp(0.5rem, 2vw, 2rem);
    --element-gap: clamp(0.25rem, 1vw, 1rem);
}

/* 5. Cards/containers use viewport-relative max sizes */
.card, .container, .content-box {
    max-width: min(90vw, 1000px);
    max-height: min(80vh, 700px);
}

/* 6. Lists auto-scale with viewport */
.feature-list, .bullet-list {
    gap: clamp(0.4rem, 1vh, 1rem);
}

.feature-list li, .bullet-list li {
    font-size: var(--body-size);
    line-height: 1.4;
}

/* 7. Grids adapt to available space */
.grid {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(min(100%, 250px), 1fr));
    gap: clamp(0.5rem, 1.5vw, 1rem);
}

/* 8. Images constrained to viewport */
img, .image-container {
    max-width: 100%;
    max-height: min(50vh, 400px);
    object-fit: contain;
}

/* ===========================================
   RESPONSIVE BREAKPOINTS
   Aggressive scaling for smaller viewports
   =========================================== */

/* Short viewports (< 700px height) */
@media (max-height: 700px) {
    :root {
        --slide-padding: clamp(0.75rem, 3vw, 2rem);
        --content-gap: clamp(0.4rem, 1.5vw, 1rem);
        --title-size: clamp(1.25rem, 4.5vw, 2.5rem);
        --h2-size: clamp(1rem, 3vw, 1.75rem);
    }
}

/* Very short viewports (< 600px height) */
@media (max-height: 600px) {
    :root {
        --slide-padding: clamp(0.5rem, 2.5vw, 1.5rem);
        --content-gap: clamp(0.3rem, 1vw, 0.75rem);
        --title-size: clamp(1.1rem, 4vw, 2rem);
        --body-size: clamp(0.7rem, 1.2vw, 0.95rem);
    }

    /* Hide non-essential elements */
    .nav-dots, .keyboard-hint, .decorative {
        display: none;
    }
}

/* Extremely short (landscape phones, < 500px height) */
@media (max-height: 500px) {
    :root {
        --slide-padding: clamp(0.4rem, 2vw, 1rem);
        --title-size: clamp(1rem, 3.5vw, 1.5rem);
        --h2-size: clamp(0.9rem, 2.5vw, 1.25rem);
        --body-size: clamp(0.65rem, 1vw, 0.85rem);
    }
}

/* Narrow viewports (< 600px width) */
@media (max-width: 600px) {
    :root {
        --title-size: clamp(1.25rem, 7vw, 2.5rem);
    }

    /* Stack grids vertically */
    .grid {
        grid-template-columns: 1fr;
    }
}

/* ===========================================
   REDUCED MOTION
   Respect user preferences
   =========================================== */
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
    *, *::before, *::after {
        animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
        transition-duration: 0.2s !important;
    }

    html {
        scroll-behavior: auto;
    }
}

Overflow Prevention Checklist

Before generating any presentation, mentally verify:

1. ✅ Every .slide has height: 100vh; height: 100dvh; overflow: hidden;
2. ✅ All font sizes use clamp(min, preferred, max)
3. ✅ All spacing uses clamp() or viewport units
4. ✅ Content containers have max-height constraints
5. ✅ Images have max-height: min(50vh, 400px) or similar
6. ✅ Grids use auto-fit with minmax() for responsive columns
7. ✅ Breakpoints exist for heights: 700px, 600px, 500px
8. ✅ No fixed pixel heights on content elements
9. ✅ Content per slide respects density limits

When Content Doesn't Fit

If you find yourself with too much content:

DO:

• Split into multiple slides
• Reduce bullet points (max 5-6 per slide)
• Shorten text (aim for 1-2 lines per bullet)
• Use smaller code snippets
• Create a "continued" slide

DON'T:

• Reduce font size below readable limits
• Remove padding/spacing entirely
• Allow any scrolling
• Cram content to fit

Testing Viewport Fit

After generating, recommend the user test at these sizes:

• Desktop: 1920×1080, 1440×900, 1280×720
• Tablet: 1024×768, 768×1024 (portrait)
• Mobile: 375×667, 414×896
• Landscape phone: 667×375, 896×414

Phase 0: Detect Mode

First, determine what the user wants:

Mode A: New Presentation

• User wants to create slides from scratch
• Proceed to Phase 1 (Content Discovery)

Mode B: PPT Conversion

• User has a PowerPoint file (.ppt, .pptx) to convert
• Proceed to Phase 4 (PPT Extraction)

Mode C: Existing Presentation Enhancement

• User has an HTML presentation and wants to improve it
• Read the existing file, understand the structure, then enhance

Phase 1: Content Discovery (New Presentations)

Before designing, understand the content. Ask via AskUserQuestion:

Step 1.1: Presentation Context

Question 1: Purpose

• Header: "Purpose"
• Question: "What is this presentation for?"
• Options:
  • "Pitch deck" — Selling an idea, product, or company to investors/clients
  • "Teaching/Tutorial" — Explaining concepts, how-to guides, educational content
  • "Conference talk" — Speaking at an event, tech talk, keynote
  • "Internal presentation" — Team updates, strategy meetings, company updates

Question 2: Slide Count

• Header: "Length"
• Question: "Approximately how many slides?"
• Options:
  • "Short (5-10)" — Quick pitch, lightning talk
  • "Medium (10-20)" — Standard presentation
  • "Long (20+)" — Deep dive, comprehensive talk

Question 3: Content

• Header: "Content"
• Question: "Do you have the content ready, or do you need help structuring it?"
• Options:
  • "I have all content ready" — Just need to design the presentation
  • "I have rough notes" — Need help organizing into slides
  • "I have a topic only" — Need help creating the full outline

If user has content, ask them to share it (text, bullet points, images, etc.).

Phase 2: Style Discovery (Visual Exploration)

CRITICAL: This is the "show, don't tell" phase.

Most people can't articulate design preferences in words. Instead of asking "do you want minimalist or bold?", we generate mini-previews and let them react.

How Users Choose Presets

Users can select a style in two ways:

Option A: Guided Discovery (Default)

• User answers mood questions
• Skill generates 3 preview files based on their answers
• User views previews in browser and picks their favorite
• This is best for users who don't have a specific style in mind

Option B: Direct Selection

• If user already knows what they want, they can request a preset by name
• Example: "Use the Bold Signal style" or "I want something like Dark Botanical"
• Skip to Phase 3 immediately

Available Presets:

Step 2.0: Style Path Selection

First, ask how the user wants to choose their style:

Question: Style Selection Method

• Header: "Style"
• Question: "How would you like to choose your presentation style?"
• Options:
  • "Show me options" — Generate 3 previews based on my needs (recommended for most users)
  • "I know what I want" — Let me pick from the preset list directly

If "Show me options" → Continue to Step 2.1 (Mood Selection)

If "I know what I want" → Show preset picker:

Question: Pick a Preset

• Header: "Preset"
• Question: "Which style would you like to use?"
• Options:
  • "Bold Signal" — Vibrant card on dark, confident and high-impact
  • "Dark Botanical" — Elegant dark with soft abstract shapes
  • "Notebook Tabs" — Editorial paper look with colorful section tabs
  • "Pastel Geometry" — Friendly pastels with decorative pills

(If user picks one, skip to Phase 3. If they want to see more options, show additional presets or proceed to guided discovery.)

Step 2.1: Mood Selection (Guided Discovery)

Question 1: Feeling

• Header: "Vibe"
• Question: "What feeling should the audience have when viewing your slides?"
• Options:
  • "Impressed/Confident" — Professional, trustworthy, this team knows what they're doing
  • "Excited/Energized" — Innovative, bold, this is the future
  • "Calm/Focused" — Clear, thoughtful, easy to follow
  • "Inspired/Moved" — Emotional, storytelling, memorable
• multiSelect: true (can choose up to 2)

Step 2.2: Generate Style Previews

Based on their mood selection, generate 3 distinct style previews as mini HTML files in a temporary directory. Each preview should be a single title slide showing:

• Typography (font choices, heading/body hierarchy)
• Color palette (background, accent, text colors)
• Animation style (how elements enter)
• Overall aesthetic feel

Preview Styles to Consider (pick 3 based on mood):

IMPORTANT: Never use these generic patterns:

• Purple gradients on white backgrounds
• Inter, Roboto, or system fonts
• Standard blue primary colors
• Predictable hero layouts

Instead, use distinctive choices:

• Unique font pairings (Clash Display, Satoshi, Cormorant Garamond, DM Sans, etc.)
• Cohesive color themes with personality
• Atmospheric backgrounds (gradients, subtle patterns, depth)
• Signature animation moments

Step 2.3: Present Previews

Create the previews in: .claude-design/slide-previews/

.claude-design/slide-previews/
├── style-a.html   # First style option
├── style-b.html   # Second style option
├── style-c.html   # Third style option
└── assets/        # Any shared assets

Each preview file should be:

• Self-contained (inline CSS/JS)
• A single "title slide" showing the aesthetic
• Animated to demonstrate motion style
• ~50-100 lines, not a full presentation

Present to user:

I've created 3 style previews for you to compare:

**Style A: [Name]** — [1 sentence description]
**Style B: [Name]** — [1 sentence description]
**Style C: [Name]** — [1 sentence description]

Open each file to see them in action:
- .claude-design/slide-previews/style-a.html
- .claude-design/slide-previews/style-b.html
- .claude-design/slide-previews/style-c.html

Take a look and tell me:
1. Which style resonates most?
2. What do you like about it?
3. Anything you'd change?

Then use AskUserQuestion:

Question: Pick Your Style

• Header: "Style"
• Question: "Which style preview do you prefer?"
• Options:
  • "Style A: [Name]" — [Brief description]
  • "Style B: [Name]" — [Brief description]
  • "Style C: [Name]" — [Brief description]
  • "Mix elements" — Combine aspects from different styles

If "Mix elements", ask for specifics.

Phase 3: Generate Presentation

Now generate the full presentation based on:

• Content from Phase 1
• Style from Phase 2

File Structure

For single presentations:

presentation.html    # Self-contained presentation
assets/              # Images, if any

For projects with multiple presentations:

[presentation-name].html
[presentation-name]-assets/

HTML Architecture

Follow this structure for all presentations:

Required JavaScript Features

Every presentation should include:

1. SlidePresentation Class — Main controller

   • Keyboard navigation (arrows, space)
   • Touch/swipe support
   • Mouse wheel navigation
   • Progress bar updates
   • Navigation dots

2. Intersection Observer — For scroll-triggered animations

   • Add .visible class when slides enter viewport
   • Trigger CSS animations efficiently

3. Optional Enhancements (based on style):

   • Custom cursor with trail
   • Particle system background (canvas)
   • Parallax effects
   • 3D tilt on hover
   • Magnetic buttons
   • Counter animations

Code Quality Requirements

Comments: Every section should have clear comments explaining:

• What it does
• Why it exists
• How to modify it

/* ===========================================
   CUSTOM CURSOR
   Creates a stylized cursor that follows mouse with a trail effect.
   - Uses lerp (linear interpolation) for smooth movement
   - Grows larger when hovering over interactive elements
   =========================================== */
class CustomCursor {
    constructor() {
        // ...
    }
}

Accessibility:

• Semantic HTML (<section>, <nav>, <main>)
• Keyboard navigation works
• ARIA labels where needed
• Reduced motion support

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
    .reveal {
        transition: opacity 0.3s ease;
        transform: none;
    }
}

Responsive & Viewport Fitting (CRITICAL):

See the "CRITICAL: Viewport Fitting Requirements" section above for complete CSS and guidelines.

Quick reference:

• Every .slide must have height: 100vh; height: 100dvh; overflow: hidden;
• All typography and spacing must use clamp()
• Respect content density limits (max 4-6 bullets, max 6 cards, etc.)
• Include breakpoints for heights: 700px, 600px, 500px
• When content doesn't fit → split into multiple slides, never scroll

Phase 4: PPT Conversion

When converting PowerPoint files:

Step 4.1: Extract Content

Use Python with python-pptx to extract:

from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches, Pt
import json
import os
import base64

def extract_pptx(file_path, output_dir):
    """
    Extract all content from a PowerPoint file.
    Returns a JSON structure with slides, text, and images.
    """
    prs = Presentation(file_path)
    slides_data = []

    # Create assets directory
    assets_dir = os.path.join(output_dir, 'assets')

Step 4.2: Confirm Content Structure

Present the extracted content to the user:

I've extracted the following from your PowerPoint:

**Slide 1: [Title]**
- [Content summary]
- Images: [count]

**Slide 2: [Title]**
- [Content summary]
- Images: [count]

...

All images have been saved to the assets folder.

Does this look correct? Should I proceed with style selection?

Step 4.3: Style Selection

Proceed to Phase 2 (Style Discovery) with the extracted content in mind.

Step 4.4: Generate HTML

Convert the extracted content into the chosen style, preserving:

• All text content
• All images (referenced from assets folder)
• Slide order
• Any speaker notes (as HTML comments or separate file)

Phase 5: Delivery

Final Output

When the presentation is complete:

1. Clean up temporary files

   • Delete .claude-design/slide-previews/ if it exists

2. Open the presentation

   • Use open [filename].html to launch in browser

3. Provide summary

Your presentation is ready!

📁 File: [filename].html
🎨 Style: [Style Name]
📊 Slides: [count]

**Navigation:**
- Arrow keys (← →) or Space to navigate
- Scroll/swipe also works
- Click the dots on the right to jump to a slide

**To customize:**
- Colors: Look for `:root` CSS variables at the top
- Fonts: Change the Fontshare/Google Fonts link
- Animations: Modify `.reveal` class timings

Would you like me to make any adjustments?

Style Reference: Effect → Feeling Mapping

Use this guide to match animations to intended feelings:

Dramatic / Cinematic

Techy / Futuristic

• Neon glow effects (box-shadow with accent color)
• Particle systems (canvas background)
• Grid patterns
• Monospace fonts for accents
• Glitch or scramble text effects
• Cyan, magenta, electric blue palette

Playful / Friendly

• Bouncy easing (spring physics)
• Rounded corners (large radius)
• Pastel or bright colors
• Floating/bobbing animations
• Hand-drawn or illustrated elements

Professional / Corporate

• Subtle, fast animations (200-300ms)
• Clean sans-serif fonts
• Navy, slate, or charcoal backgrounds
• Precise spacing and alignment
• Minimal decorative elements
• Data visualization focus

Calm / Minimal

• Very slow, subtle motion

Animation Patterns Reference

Entrance Animations

/* Fade + Slide Up (most common) */
.reveal {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(30px);
    transition: opacity 0.6s var(--ease-out-expo),
                transform 0.6s var(--ease-out-expo);
}

.visible .reveal {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0);
}

/* Scale In */
.reveal-scale {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale(0.9);
    transition: opacity 0.6s, transform 0.6s var(--ease-out-expo);
}

/* Slide from Left */
.reveal-left {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateX(-50px);
    transition: opacity 0.6s, transform 0.6s var(--ease-out-expo);
}

/* Blur In */
.reveal-blur {
    opacity: 0;
    filter: blur(10px);
    transition: opacity 0.8s, filter 0.8s var(--ease-out-expo);
}

Background Effects

/* Gradient Mesh */
.gradient-bg {
    background:
        radial-gradient(ellipse at 20% 80%, rgba(120, 0, 255, 0.3) 0%, transparent 50%),
        radial-gradient(ellipse at 80% 20%, rgba(0, 255, 200, 0.2) 0%, transparent 50%),
        var(--bg-primary);
}

/* Noise Texture */
.noise-bg {
    background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,..."); /* Inline SVG noise */
}

/* Grid Pattern */
.grid-bg {
    background-image:
        linear-gradient(rgba(255,255,255,0.03) 1px, transparent 1px),
        linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255,255,255,0.03) 1px, transparent 1px);
    background-size: 50px 50px;
}

Interactive Effects

/* 3D Tilt on Hover */
class TiltEffect {
    constructor(element) {
        this.element = element;
        this.element.style.transformStyle = 'preserve-3d';
        this.element.style.perspective = '1000px';
        this.bindEvents();
    }

    bindEvents() {
        this.element.addEventListener('mousemove', (e) => {
            const rect = this.element.getBoundingClientRect();
            const x = (e.clientX - rect.left) / rect.width - 0.5;
            const y = (e.clientY - rect.top) / rect.height - 0.5;

            this.element.style.transform = `
                rotateY(${x * 10}deg)
                rotateX(${-y * 10}deg)
            `;
        });

        this.element.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => {
            this.element.style.transform = 'rotateY(0) rotateX(0)';
        });
    }
}

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Fonts not loading:

• Check Fontshare/Google Fonts URL
• Ensure font names match in CSS

Animations not triggering:

• Verify Intersection Observer is running
• Check that .visible class is being added

Scroll snap not working:

• Ensure scroll-snap-type on html/body
• Each slide needs scroll-snap-align: start

Mobile issues:

• Disable heavy effects at 768px breakpoint
• Test touch events
• Reduce particle count or disable canvas

Performance issues:

• Use will-change sparingly
• Prefer transform and opacity animations
• Throttle scroll/mousemove handlers
