Slide Creator
Generate zero-dependency HTML presentations that run entirely in the browser.
Core Philosophy
| Principle |
Description |
| Zero Dependencies |
Single HTML files with inline CSS/JS. No npm, no build tools. |
| Show, Don't Tell |
Generate visual style previews; design preferences emerge from seeing options. |
| Distinctive Design |
Avoid generic AI aesthetics (Inter font, purple gradients, predictable heroes). |
| Viewport Fitting |
Slides fit exactly in the viewport. Overflowing content gets split, not squished. |
| Plan Before Generate |
--plan creates outline; --generate produces HTML from it. |
Generation Contract (Non-Negotiable)
Every generated HTML file MUST include:
- Presentation Mode — F5 / ▶ button, fullscreen scaling, PresentMode class
- Edit Mode — top-left hotzone, ✏ Edit toggle, contenteditable on all text, notes panel
Command Routing

# (edit PLANNING.md if needed)
/slide-creator --generate
# Export to PPTX after generation

Phase 0: Detect Mode
Before starting:
- PLANNING.md exists → read it, skip to Phase 3
- User provides source content + style directly → skip Phase 1/2, generate immediately
- User has a .ppt/.pptx file → Phase 4 (PPT conversion)
- User wants to enhance existing HTML → read and enhance
- Everything else → Phase 1 (Content Discovery)
When to Use This Skill
- Create HTML presentations from topics or notes
- Convert existing content to slides
- Design pitch decks, reports, tutorials
- Generate zero-dependency HTML slideshows
Related Skills
- report-creator — For long-form scrollable HTML reports (not slides)
- frontend-design — For interactive pages that go beyond slides
