Demo Animation V2

Demo Animation v2

Generate the recommended responsive self-playing HTML product demo. Output: demo/index.html.

How it works

This skill uses assets/template.html as the reusable demo engine. Read the template, fill in all {{PLACEHOLDER}} markers with project-specific content, and write the completed single-file demo to demo/index.html.

The template contains the complete reusable engine: CSS framework, JS animation system, mobile controls, touch gestures, fullscreen, piano music, and accessibility support.

Workflow

1. Read the project

Read CLAUDE.md, README, main files. Identify: product name, tagline, color palette, font stack, 6-10 key features, UI layout type.

2. Plan steps briefly

List 6-10 demo steps for the user. Do not wait for confirmation unless unsure. Start generating.

3. Read the template

Read assets/template.html from this skill folder. This is your base file.

4. Fill placeholders and write

Read the template, replace all {{PLACEHOLDER}} markers, and write the result to demo/index.html.

Placeholder reference

Metadata:

• {{PAGE_TITLE}} - e.g. "My Project Demo"
• {{GOOGLE_FONTS_LINK}} - <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=...&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

CSS variables: {{PRIMARY_DARK}}, {{PRIMARY_DARK_LIGHT}}, {{ACCENT}}, {{ACCENT_LIGHT}}, {{ACCENT_GLOW}}, {{BG_LIGHT}}, {{BG_LIGHT_DARK}}, {{BORDER}}, {{TEXT}}, {{TEXT_LIGHT}}, {{FONT_SERIF}}, {{FONT_SANS}}

Content:

• {{PANE_CSS}} - CSS for tab pane layouts.
• {{INTRO_CONTENT}} - Logo, subtitle, and tagline divs. The button is already in the template.
• {{NAV_BRAND_NAME}} / {{NAV_APP_NAME}} - Navbar text.
• {{NAV_TABS}} - Tab buttons: <div class="nav-tab active" id="tab-NAME">Label</div>.
• {{TAB_PANES}} - Tab content: <div class="tab-pane active pane-NAME" id="pane-NAME">...</div>.
• {{TIMELINE_STEPS}} - <div class="tl-step-v" data-step="N"><div class="tl-dot"></div><div class="tl-label">Name</div></div>.
• {{ENDING_CONTENT}} - Title, subtitle, and URL divs.

JavaScript:

• {{TOTAL_STEPS}} - Number, e.g. 8.
• {{RESET_ALL_UI}} - function resetAllUI(){ ... } resets all DOM changes.
• {{STEP_FUNCTIONS}} - All async function stepN(id){ ... } functions.
• {{STEPS_ARRAY}} - step0,step1,...,stepN.
• {{EXTRA_JS}} - Project-specific JS, or an empty string.

Step function pattern

async function step0(id){
  showTab('tabname');
  updateTimeline(0);
  setCaption('Step 1 of N','Headline','Detail.');
  await wait(1200,id);if(dead(id))return;

  const el=$('#element');
  await moveCursor(getCenter(el).x,getCenter(el).y,500,id);
  if(dead(id))return;
  showHighlight(el);
  await wait(1000,id);if(dead(id))return;
  hideHighlight();
  hideCursor();
}

Rules:

1. showTab() and updateTimeline() first.
2. Add if(dead(id))return; after every await.
3. Pass id to moveCursor(x,y,dur,id) and wait(ms,id).
4. Call hideCursor() at the end of each step.

Available helpers: showTab(name), setCaption(step,text,detail), hideCaption(), moveCursor(x,y,dur,id), hideCursor(), showHighlight(el), hideHighlight(), showToast(msg), updateTimeline(idx), typeText(el,text,speed), scrollToShow(el,container), getCenter(el), getLocalPos(el), wait(ms,id), dead(id).

Rules

• File must be self-contained except Google Fonts.
• Every $('#id') must target an element that exists.
• Design realistic UI matching the actual product.
• Keep wait times reasonable: 800-1500ms for reading, 300-600ms for animations.

Output
