Presentation Skill

Creates standalone HTML slide deck presentations with CSS animations, keyboard/click/swipe navigation, bullet reveal, mouse parallax, and polished visual design. Single file, no dependencies, works anywhere.

---

Step 1: Choose a Mode

Ask the user how they want to work:

  • Full generation: User provides content/outline upfront → Claude generates the entire presentation in one shot. Best when the user already knows what they want to say.
  • Interactive step-by-step: Claude scaffolds the framework first, then builds slides one at a time — user reviews each slide before moving to the next. Best when the user is still figuring out the story or wants tight control.

---

Step 2: Content & Structure (THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP)

Before writing any code, deeply understand what the presentation is actually saying.

Ask the user to provide source material — any of:

  • A document, outline, or notes about the topic
  • A rough slide-by-slide outline
  • Key talking points, stats, or quotes
  • An existing presentation to redesign
  • A brain dump of everything they want to cover

Then collaboratively build the slide outline:

  • For each slide: choose a type, headline, body content, and special elements
  • Suggest a narrative arc: hook → context → key content → details → closing
  • Flag where bullet-reveal slides help (dense content needing progressive disclosure)
  • Identify which slides need images/assets vs. pure text
  • Confirm final slide count and order before proceeding

This step makes or breaks the presentation. Spend the most time here.

Available slide types

TypeClassUse Case
Title.slide-titleOpening — large heading, subtitle, decorative shapes
Speaker/Bio.slide-speakerIntroduce presenter — avatar, name, role, glass card
Question.slide-familiarAudience engagement — large centered question
Bullet Reveal.slide-learnKey points, agendas — progressive reveal with data-bullets
Tool/Badge Grid.slide-setupTools, tech, logos — grid of badge cards
Workflow/Flow.slide-flowProcesses, steps — connected boxes with arrows
Two-Column.slide-llmText + image — split layout
Team/Grid.slide-speakersMeet the team — photo grid with names/roles
Glossary.slide-glossDefinitions — large term + definition
Closing/CTA.slide-closingFinal slide — large text, call to action

For detailed HTML templates of each type, see slide-types.md.

Step 3: Design Brief

Gather style direction from the user:

  • Colors: brand colors, or suggest a palette (5-6 hex values with roles: primary, secondary, accent, background-light, background-dark, text)
  • Fonts: heading + body font families (Google Fonts or system fonts)
  • Vibe: minimal / editorial / glassmorphism / bold / corporate
  • Assets: logos, images, photos to embed

Produce a brief with:

  • Color palette with CSS variable names and hex values
  • Typography scale (heading-xl, heading-lg, heading-md, subtitle, body-text)
  • Font families and weights
  • Spacing rhythm (slide padding, element gaps)
  • Animation style (subtle vs. dramatic)
  • One-sentence visual direction
  • Slide-to-theme mapping (which slides get which background color)

For CSS/typography/animation defaults and templates, see framework-reference.md.

---

Step 4: Generate the Framework

Create a single standalone HTML file with embedded <style> and <script>.

The file structure is:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>[Presentation Title]</title>
  [Google Fonts link]
  <style>
    /* Reset, design tokens, slide system, themes, shapes,
       animations, typography, UI chrome, slide-specific styles,
       responsive breakpoint */
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div class="presentation">
    <!-- Slides go here -->
  </div>
  <!-- Progress bar, slide counter, nav hint -->
  <script>
    /* IIFE-based navigation engine */
  </script>
</body>
</html>

For the complete CSS architecture and JS navigation engine templates, see framework-reference.md.

Step 5: Build Slides

Using the templates from slide-types.md:

  • Full generation mode: Create all slides at once based on the outline from Step 2
  • Interactive mode: One slide at a time — write the HTML, let the user review, adjust, then move to the next

For every slide: 1. Use the appropriate section.slide with theme class (.slide--primary, .slide--secondary, .slide--light) 2. Set data-theme="dark" or data-theme="light" for nav UI color adaptation 3. Add .anim classes to all content elements for entrance animations 4. Apply stagger delays (.anim-d1 through .anim-d8) in visual reading order 5. Add decorative shapes with entrance directions (.shape-enter-left, etc.) 6. Include .slide-footer with consistent content on every slide 7. For bullet-reveal slides: set data-bullets="N" and use <li data-bullet="N"> elements

---

Step 6: Polish & Review

Checklist before delivery:

  • [ ] All .anim classes present on content elements
  • [ ] Stagger delays follow visual reading order
  • [ ] Decorative shapes don't overlap content (use z-index layering)
  • [ ] Color contrast is correct on all slide themes
  • [ ] Bullet reveal count matches data-bullets attribute
  • [ ] Responsive layout works at 768px breakpoint
  • [ ] Navigation works: keyboard (arrows, Space, PgUp/Dn, Home, End), click (left 30% = back, right 70% = forward), and touch/swipe (>50px threshold)
  • [ ] Progress bar and slide counter update correctly
  • [ ] Header/footer chrome consistent across slides
  • [ ] All fonts load correctly (Google Fonts or fallbacks)

---

Step 7: Export

Default: standalone HTML — single file with base64-embedded images and assets. Works anywhere, no server needed.

To embed images as base64:

<img src="data:image/png;base64,[base64-data]" alt="...">

Optionally offer:

  • Dev version: external image references for easier editing
  • Individual slides: separate HTML files per slide for modular use

Key Patterns

For design patterns, animation tips, and hard-won insights from building presentations with this framework, see learnings.md.

Quick reference

  • Easing: cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1) (expo-out) for all transitions
  • Stagger: .anim-d1 (0.1s) through .anim-d8 (1.1s)
  • Shapes: absolute positioned, mix-blend-mode: overlay, floating keyframe animations
  • Glass: backdrop-filter: blur(28px) + semi-transparent white + subtle border
  • Typography: clamp() for fluid sizing across projector/laptop/tablet
  • Parallax: --mx/--my CSS variables tracked on mousemove
  • Transitions: 700ms lockout via isTransitioning flag
