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
| Command |
What to Load |
What to Do |
--plan [prompt] |
planning-template.md |
Create PLANNING.md. Stop — no HTML. |
--generate |
html-template.md + style file + base-css.md |
Read PLANNING.md, generate HTML. |
| No flag (interactive) |
workflow.md + html-template.md |
Follow Phase 0–5. |
| Content + style given directly |
html-template.md + style file + base-css.md |
Generate immediately — no Phase 1/2. |

For AI Agents
# From a topic or notes
/slide-creator Make a pitch deck for [topic]
# From a plan file (skip interactive phases)
/slide-creator --generate # reads PLANNING.md automatically
# Two-step (review the plan before generating)
/slide-creator --plan "Product launch deck for Acme v2"
# (edit PLANNING.md if needed)
/slide-creator --generate
# Export to PPTX after generation
/kai-html-export presentation.html # image mode (pixel-perfect)
/kai-html-export --mode native presentation.html # native mode
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
