• Showcase decks for themes / layouts / animations / full-decks gallery
• Managed Chromium 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.

🎤 Presenter Mode (演讲者模式 + 逐字稿)

If the user mentions any of: 演讲 / 分享 / 讲稿 / 逐字稿 / speaker notes / presenter view / 演讲者视图 / 提词器, or says things like "我要去给团队讲 xxx", "要做一场技术分享", "怕讲不流畅", "想要一份带逐字稿的 PPT" — use the presenter-mode-reveal full-deck template and write 150–300 words of 逐字稿 in each slide's <aside class="notes">.

See references/presenter-mode.md for the full authoring guide including the 3 rules of speaker script writing:

1. 不是讲稿，是提示信号 — 加粗核心词 + 过渡句独立成段
2. 每页 150–300 字 — 2–3 分钟/页的节奏
3. 用口语，不用书面语 — "因此"→"所以"，"该方案"→"这个方案"

All full-deck templates support the S key presenter mode (it's built into runtime.js). S opens a new popup window with 4 magnetic cards:

• 🔵 CURRENT — pixel-perfect iframe preview of the current slide
• 🟣 NEXT — pixel-perfect iframe preview of the next slide
• 🟠 SPEAKER SCRIPT — large-font 逐字稿 (scrollable)
• 🟢 TIMER — elapsed time + slide counter + prev/next/reset buttons

Each card is draggable by its header and resizable by the bottom-right corner handle. Card positions/sizes persist to localStorage per deck. A "Reset layout" button restores the default arrangement.

Why the previews are pixel-perfect: each preview is an <iframe> that loads the actual deck HTML with a ?preview=N query param; runtime.js detects this and renders only slide N with no chrome. So the preview uses the same CSS, theme, fonts, and viewport as the audience view — colors and layout are guaranteed identical.

Smooth navigation: on slide change, the presenter window sends postMessage({type:'preview-goto', idx:N}) to each iframe. The iframe just toggles .is-active between slides — no reload, no flicker. The two windows also stay in sync via BroadcastChannel.

Only presenter-mode-reveal is designed from the ground up around the feature with proper example 逐字稿 on every slide.

Keyboard in presenter window: ← → navigate (syncs audience) · R reset timer · Esc close popup. Keyboard in audience window: S open presenter · T cycle theme · ← → navigate (syncs presenter) · F fullscreen · O overview.

Before you author anything — infer first, ask only when blocked

Before writing slides, resolve the three decisions below from the user's brief, project metadata, supplied content, and conversation. If they are sufficiently clear, choose a tasteful default and proceed without waiting for confirmation; state the choices briefly in the plan. Ask one consolidated clarification only when a missing answer would materially change the deck.

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 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, minimal-white
   • Edgy / cyber / launch → cyberpunk-neon, vaporwave, y2k-chrome, neo-brutalism
3. Starting point. One of the 14 full-deck templates, or scratch? Choose the closest templates/full-decks/<name>/. If the user's content suggests something obvious (e.g. "我要做产品发布会" → product-launch), use it confidently instead of asking blindly.

A good clarification, when one is actually needed, follows the active discovery-question-form protocol and contains only unresolved fields. For example, if content and audience are known but the requested tone spans incompatible themes, ask one theme question with 2–3 recommended options. Do not repeat the form as a markdown checklist.

If the known context already resolves them, scaffold the deck and start writing immediately.

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.
• 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 uses Playwright's managed Chromium renderer. Do not call the user's installed Google Chrome directly for PNG export, especially on macOS desktop builds where Crashpad/profile permissions can abort Chrome before a screenshot is written. If the managed renderer fails once, surface that error and stop instead of retrying alternate Chrome launch commands.

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
