html-ppt — HTML PPT Studio

Author professional HTML presentations as static files. One theme file = one look. One layout file = one page type. One animation class = one entry effect. All pages share a token-based design system in assets/base.css.

Install

npx skills add https://github.com/lewislulu/html-ppt-skill

One command, no build. Pure static HTML/CSS/JS with only CDN webfonts.

No network on the target machine? Point the CLI at a local copy (npx skills add ./html-ppt-skill), or just copy this folder into your agent's skills directory — ~/.claude/skills/html-ppt/ for Claude Code. Decks render offline; only the webfonts fall back to the system stack. See README.md.

• Showcase decks for themes / layouts / animations / full-decks gallery
• Headless Chrome 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 — ALWAYS ask or recommend

Do not start writing slides until you understand three things. Either ask the user directly, or — if they already handed you rich content — propose a tasteful default and confirm.

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 15 full-deck templates, or scratch? Point to the closest templates/full-decks/<name>/ and ask if it fits. If the user's content suggests something obvious (e.g. "我要做产品发布会" → product-launch), propose it confidently instead of asking blindly.

A good opening message looks like:

我可以给你做这份 PPT！先确认三件事：

1. 大致内容 / 页数 / 观众是谁？
2. 风格偏好？我建议从这 3 个主题里选一个：tokyo-night（技术分享默认好看）、xiaohongshu-white（小红书风）、corporate-clean（正式汇报）。
3. 要不要用我现成的 tech-sharing 全 deck 模板打底？

Only after those are clear, scaffold the deck and start writing.

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 (../assets/ here is a placeholder — use whatever prefix the rest of the file already uses; new-deck.sh has set it to the right depth):

   <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. Scaffold from it, don't copy it by hand — the template's ../../../assets/ is relative to its own location, so a manual copy lands the paths at the wrong depth:

   ./scripts/new-deck.sh my-talk -t pitch-deck
   

   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. Text on top of an --accent fill is the one people get wrong: it needs color: var(--accent-ink), because accents here run from #ffffff to #000000 and no literal ink is readable on all of them.
• Don't invent new layout files. Prefer composing existing ones. Only add a new templates/single-page/*.html if none of the 36 fit.
• Putting images on a slide? Start from one of the five image-* layouts and use .img-frame — see Images below. Never drop a bare <img> into a slide: an unframed image ignores the slide's height and pushes the rest off the page.
• Respect chrome slots. .deck-header, .deck-footer, .slide-number and the progress bar are provided by assets/base.css + runtime.js.
• Add a logo declaratively, once. Put data-logo on <body> — don't paste an <img> into every slide. See Custom logo below.
• Keyboard-first. Always include the runtime, e.g. <script src="../assets/runtime.js"></script>, so the deck supports ← → / T / A / F / S / O / hash deep-links.
• Never hand-edit the ../ depth in asset paths. Every assets/ reference is relative to the file that holds it: templates/deck.html uses ../assets/, templates/single-page/*.html use ../../assets/, and templates/full-decks/*/index.html use ../../../assets/. Copying a file to a new depth silently breaks all of them. Scaffold with ./scripts/new-deck.sh <name> [parent] [-t <template>], which computes the prefix for wherever the deck lands and verifies every reference resolves.
• 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).

Images

Five layouts in templates/single-page/ take real images. Pick by how many images the page has to carry:

I have…	Use	Why
one screenshot / diagram / chart	image-single.html	.img-frame.contain — letterboxed, never cropped
one photo that should carry the page	image-full-bleed.html	fills the slide, gradient scrim keeps the title readable
one image plus an argument	image-text-split.html	50/50; add flip to .split to move the image right
3–6 images	image-gallery.html	uniform grid; mixed source ratios are normalised by the frame
a before and an after	image-compare.html	both sides identical size, conclusion under each

image-grid.html and image-hero.html are not in this list: they are gradient-placeholder layouts with no <img> at all. Reach for them when you want the shape of a bento wall without supplying pictures.

All five are built on one primitive from assets/base.css:

<figure class="img-frame"><img src="shot.png" alt=""></figure>
<figure class="img-frame contain" style="--img-ratio:4/3"><img src="diagram.svg" alt=""></figure>

• .img-frame owns the aspect ratio and the crop; the <img> fills it with object-fit: cover. That's what lets a user swap in a photo of any shape without the layout breaking.
• .img-frame.contain letterboxes instead of cropping — always use it for screenshots, diagrams and logos.
• --img-ratio (default 16/10) and --img-pos (object-position) tune it.
• .img-scrim / .img-cap / .img-tag are the scrim, caption and corner pill.
• Images referenced from a deck are resolved relative to the deck's own index.html — keep them in the deck folder, e.g. examples/my-talk/shot.png.
• assets/demo-images/ holds the placeholder artwork used by these layouts: hand-written SVG, ~1 KB each, no network needed.

Custom logo

To brand a deck with a company / product logo, declare it once on <body>:

<body data-logo="logo.svg"
      data-logo-position="bottom-right"
      data-logo-size="40px">

Attribute	Default	Notes
data-logo	—	Image URL, relative to the deck's own HTML file. Required.
data-logo-position	top-right	top-left / top-right / bottom-left / bottom-right
data-logo-size	44px	Any CSS length; sets the logo's height, width follows the aspect ratio
data-logo-opacity	.9	1 for full strength
data-logo-alt	""	Alt text

• Skip it on one slide with <section class="slide" data-no-logo> — usually the cover and any full-bleed image slide that carries its own branding.
• Fine-tune the inset with --logo-inset-x / --logo-inset-y on .deck-logo.
• Place it by hand instead, if you want it inside the chrome slots or in a spot the four presets don't cover:

  <div class="deck">
    <img class="deck-logo" data-pos="bottom-left" src="logo.svg" alt="">
  

  This path needs no JS at all — base.css styles both the same way.
• The logo shows in the presenter preview, and on every page of a print/PDF export (unlike the header/footer/progress chrome, which print hides). data-no-logo slides are skipped there too. Per-page printing is painted by runtime.js + @media print; a deck that omits the runtime still gets the logo on screen, but only on one page of a PDF.

Rendering to PNG

scripts/render.sh wraps headless Chrome at /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome. 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
