html-ppt FAQ
Presenter mode (S key) opens a popup window with 4 draggable, resizable cards: CURRENT (pixel-perfect preview of current slide), NEXT (next slide preview), SPEAKER SCRIPT (large-font speaker notes), and TIMER (elapsed time + slide counter). Use the `presenter-mode-reveal` template and write 150–300 word 逐字稿 (speaker notes) in each slide's `<aside class="notes">` section. Previews sync smoothly via postMessage and BroadcastChannel.
Use the `presenter-mode-reveal` full-deck template. For each slide, add an `<aside class="notes">` block with 150–300 words of conversational speaker script (not formal text). Follow the 3 rules: bold key terms + transition sentences as separate paragraphs, maintain 2–3 minute pacing per slide, and use spoken language ("所以" instead of "因此"). See references/presenter-mode.md for the full authoring guide.
Pick based on audience and tone: Business/investor pitch → `pitch-deck-vc`, `corporate-clean`, `swiss-grid`; Tech sharing → `tokyo-night`, `dracula`, `catppuccin-mocha`, `terminal-green`, `blueprint`; 小红书 → `xiaohongshu-white`, `soft-pastel`, `rainbow-gradient`, `magazine-bold`; Academic/report → `academic-paper`, `editorial-serif`, `minimal-white`; Edgy/cyber → `cyberpunk-neon`, `vaporwave`, `y2k-chrome`, `neo-brutalism`. Press T while viewing to cycle through all 36 themes.

What the skill gives you
- 36 themes (
assets/themes/*.css) — minimal-white, editorial-serif, soft-pastel, sharp-mono, arctic-cool, sunset-warm, catppuccin-latte/mocha, dracula, tokyo-night, nord, solarized-light, gruvbox-dark, rose-pine, neo-brutalism, glassmorphism, bauhaus, swiss-grid, terminal-green, xiaohongshu-white, rainbow-gradient, aurora, blueprint, memphis-pop, cyberpunk-neon, y2k-chrome, retro-tv, japanese-minimal, vaporwave, midcentury, corporate-clean, academic-paper, news-broadcast, pitch-deck-vc, magazine-bold, engineering-whiteprint - 15 full-deck templates (
templates/full-decks/<name>/) — complete multi-slide decks with scoped.tpl-<name>CSS. 8 extracted from real-world decks (xhs-white-editorial, graphify-dark-graph, knowledge-arch-blueprint, hermes-cyber-terminal, obsidian-claude-gradient, testing-safety-alert, xhs-pastel-card, dir-key-nav-minimal), 7 scenario scaffolds (pitch-deck, product-launch, tech-sharing, weekly-report, xhs-post 3:4, course-module, presenter-mode-reveal — 演讲者模式专用) - 31 layouts (
templates/single-page/*.html) with realistic demo data - 27 CSS animations (
assets/animations/animations.css) viadata-anim - 20 canvas FX animations (
assets/animations/fx/*.js) viadata-fx— particle-burst, confetti-cannon, firework, starfield, matrix-rain, knowledge-graph (force-directed), neural-net (pulses), constellation, orbit-ring, galaxy-swirl, word-cascade, letter-explode, chain-react, magnetic-field, data-stream, gradient-blob, sparkle-trail, shockwave, typewriter-multi, counter-explosion - Keyboard runtime (

assets/animations/fx-runtime.js) — auto-inits[data-fx]on slide enter, cleans up on leave - 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:
- 不是讲稿,是提示信号 — 加粗核心词 + 过渡句独立成段
- 每页 150–300 字 — 2–3 分钟/页的节奏
- 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.
- Content & audience. What's the deck about, how many slides, who's watching (engineers / execs / 小红书读者 / 学生 / VC)?
- 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
- Business / investor pitch →
- Starting point. One of the 14 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:
- 大致内容 / 页数 / 观众是谁?
- 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)。- 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
- Scaffold a new deck. From the repo root:
./scripts/new-deck.sh my-talk open examples/my-talk/index.html - Pick a theme. Open the deck and press
Tto cycle. Or hard-code it:
Catalog in references/themes.md.<link rel="stylesheet" id="theme-link" href="../assets/themes/aurora.css"> - Pick layouts. Copy
<section class="slide">...</section>blocks out of files intemplates/single-page/into your deck. Replace the demo data. Catalog in references/layouts.md. - Add animations. Put
data-anim="fade-up"(orclass="anim-fade-up") on any element. On<ul>/grids, useanim-stagger-listfor 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. - Use a full-deck template. Copy
templates/full-decks/<name>/intoexamples/my-talk/as a starting point. Each folder is self-contained with scoped CSS. Catalog in references/full-decks.md and gallery attemplates/full-decks-index.html. - 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.cssand 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/*.htmlif none of the 30 fit. - Respect chrome slots.
.deck-header,.deck-footer,.slide-numberand the progress bar are provided byassets/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
.slideper logical page.runtime.jsmakes.slide.is-activevisible; 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.notesclass isdisplay:noneby default — it only appears in the S overlay. Slides should contain ONLY audience-facing content (titles, bullet points, data, charts, images).
