name: frontend-slides
description: Create stunning, animation-rich HTML presentations from scratch or by converting PowerPoint files. Use when the user wants to build a presentation, convert a PPT/PPTX to web, or create slides for a talk/pitch. Helps non-designers discover their aesthetic through visual exploration rather than abstract choices.

# Frontend Slides
Create zero-dependency, animation-rich HTML presentations that run entirely in the browser.
Inspired by the visual exploration approach showcased in work by [zarazhangrui](https://github.com/zarazhangrui).
## When to Activate
- Creating a talk deck, pitch deck, workshop deck, or internal presentation
- Converting `.ppt` or `.pptx` slides into an HTML presentation
- Improving an existing HTML presentation's layout, motion, or typography
- Exploring presentation styles with a user who does not know their design preference yet
## Non-Negotiables
1. **Zero dependencies**: default to one self-contained HTML file with inline CSS and JS.
2. **Viewport fit is mandatory**: every slide must fit inside one viewport with no internal scrolling.
3. **Show, don't tell**: use visual previews instead of abstract style questionnaires.
4. **Distinctive design**: avoid generic purple-gradient, Inter-on-white, template-looking decks.
5. **Production quality**: keep code commented, accessible, responsive, and performant.
Before generating, read `STYLE_PRESETS.md` for the viewport-safe CSS base, density limits, preset catalog, and CSS gotchas.
## Workflow
### 1. Detect Mode
Choose one path:
- **New presentation**: user has a topic, notes, or full draft
- **PPT conversion**: user has `.ppt` or `.pptx`
- **Enhancement**: user already has HTML slides and wants improvements
### 2. Discover Content
Ask only the minimum needed:
- purpose: pitch, teaching, conference talk, internal update
- length: short (5-10), medium (10-20), long (20+)
- content state: finished copy, rough notes, topic only
If the user has content, ask them to paste it before styling.
### 3. Discover Style
Default to visual exploration.
If the user already knows the desired preset, skip previews and use it directly.
Otherwise:
1. Ask what feeling the deck should create: impressed, energized, focused, inspired.
2. Generate **3 single-slide preview files** in `.ecc-design/slide-previews/`.
3. Each preview must be self-contained, show typography/color/motion clearly, and stay under roughly 100 lines of slide content.
4. Ask the user which preview to keep or what elements to mix.
Use the preset guide in `STYLE_PRESETS.md` when mapping mood to style.
### 4. Build the Presentation
Output either:
- `presentation.html`
- `[presentation-name].html`
Use an `assets/` folder only when the deck contains extracted or user-supplied images.
Required structure:
- semantic slide sections
- a viewport-safe CSS base from `STYLE_PRESETS.md`
- CSS custom properties for theme values
- a presentation controller class for keyboard, wheel, and touch navigation
- Intersection Observer for reveal animations
- reduced-motion support
### 5. Enforce Viewport Fit
Treat this as a hard gate.
Rules:
- every `.slide` must use `height: 100vh; height: 100dvh; overflow: hidden;`
- all type and spacing must scale with `clamp()`
- when content does not fit, split into multiple slides
- never solve overflow by shrinking text below readable sizes
- never allow scrollbars inside a slide
Use the density limits and mandatory CSS block in `STYLE_PRESETS.md`.
### 6. Validate
Check the finished deck at these sizes:
- 1920x1080
- 1280x720
- 768x1024
- 375x667
- 667x375
If browser automation is available, use it to verify no slide overflows and that keyboard navigation works.
### 7. Deliver
At handoff:
- delete temporary preview files unless the user wants to keep them
- open the deck with the platform-appropriate opener when useful
- summarize file path, preset used, slide count, and easy theme customization points
Use the correct opener for the current OS:
- macOS: `open file.html`
- Linux: `xdg-open file.html`
- Windows: `start "" file.html`
## PPT / PPTX Conversion
For PowerPoint conversion:
1. Prefer `python3` with `python-pptx` to extract text, images, and notes.
2. If `python-pptx` is unavailable, ask whether to install it or fall back to a manual/export-based workflow.
3. Preserve slide order, speaker notes, and extracted assets.
4. After extraction, run the same style-selection workflow as a new presentation.
Keep conversion cross-platform. Do not rely on macOS-only tools when Python can do the job.
## Implementation Requirements
### HTML / CSS
- Use inline CSS and JS unless the user explicitly wants a multi-file project.
- Fonts may come from Google Fonts or Fontshare.
- Prefer atmospheric backgrounds, strong type hierarchy, and a clear visual direction.
- Use abstract shapes, gradients, grids, noise, and geometry rather than illustrations.
### JavaScript
Include:
- keyboard navigation
- touch / swipe navigation
- mouse wheel navigation
- progress indicator or slide index
- reveal-on-enter animation triggers
### Accessibility
- use semantic structure (`main`, `section`, `nav`)
- keep contrast readable
- support keyboard-only navigation
- respect `prefers-reduced-motion`
## Content Density Limits
Use these maxima unless the user explicitly asks for denser slides and readability still holds:
| Slide type | Limit |
|------------|-------|
| Title | 1 heading + 1 subtitle + optional tagline |
| Content | 1 heading + 4-6 bullets or 2 short paragraphs |
| Feature grid | 6 cards max |
| Code | 8-10 lines max |
| Quote | 1 quote + attribution |
| Image | 1 image constrained by viewport |
## Anti-Patterns
- generic startup gradients with no visual identity
- system-font decks unless intentionally editorial
- long bullet walls
- code blocks that need scrolling
- fixed-height content boxes that break on short screens
- invalid negated CSS functions like `-clamp(...)`
## Related ECC Skills
- `frontend-patterns` for component and interaction patterns around the deck
- `liquid-glass-design` when a presentation intentionally borrows Apple glass aesthetics
- `e2e-testing` if you need automated browser verification for the final deck
## Deliverable Checklist
- presentation runs from a local file in a browser
- every slide fits the viewport without scrolling
- style is distinctive and intentional
- animation is meaningful, not noisy
- reduced motion is respected
- file paths and customization points are explained at handoff

# Style Presets Reference
Curated visual styles for `frontend-slides`.
Use this file for:
- the mandatory viewport-fitting CSS base
- preset selection and mood mapping
- CSS gotchas and validation rules
Abstract shapes only. Avoid illustrations unless the user explicitly asks for them.
## Viewport Fit Is Non-Negotiable
Every slide must fully fit in one viewport.
### Golden Rule
```text
Each slide = exactly one viewport height.
Too much content = split into more slides.
Never scroll inside a slide.
```
### Density Limits
| Slide Type | Maximum Content |
|------------|-----------------|
| Title slide | 1 heading + 1 subtitle + optional tagline |
| Content slide | 1 heading + 4-6 bullets or 2 paragraphs |
| Feature grid | 6 cards maximum |
| Code slide | 8-10 lines maximum |
| Quote slide | 1 quote + attribution |
| Image slide | 1 image, ideally under 60vh |
## Mandatory Base CSS
Copy this block into every generated presentation and then theme on top of it.

## Viewport Checklist
- every `.slide` has `height: 100vh`, `height: 100dvh`, and `overflow: hidden`
- all typography uses `clamp()`
- all spacing uses `clamp()` or viewport units
- images have `max-height` constraints
- grids adapt with `auto-fit` + `minmax()`
- short-height breakpoints exist at `700px`, `600px`, and `500px`
- if anything feels cramped, split the slide

## Direct Selection Prompts
If the user already knows the style they want, let them pick directly from the preset names above instead of forcing preview generation.
## Animation Feel Mapping
| Feeling | Motion Direction |
|---------|------------------|
| Dramatic / Cinematic | slow fades, parallax, large scale-ins |
| Techy / Futuristic | glow, particles, grid motion, scramble text |
| Playful / Friendly | springy easing, rounded shapes, floating motion |
| Professional / Corporate | subtle 200-300ms transitions, clean slides |
| Calm / Minimal | very restrained movement, whitespace-first |
| Editorial / Magazine | strong hierarchy, staggered text and image interplay |
## CSS Gotcha: Negating Functions
Never write these:
```css
right: -clamp(28px, 3.5vw, 44px);
margin-left: -min(10vw, 100px);
```
Browsers ignore them silently.
Always write this instead:
```css
right: calc(-1 * clamp(28px, 3.5vw, 44px));
margin-left: calc(-1 * min(10vw, 100px));
```
## Validation Sizes
Test at minimum:
- Desktop: `1920x1080`, `1440x900`, `1280x720`
- Tablet: `1024x768`, `768x1024`
- Mobile: `375x667`, `414x896`
- Landscape phone: `667x375`, `896x414`
## Anti-Patterns
Do not use:
- purple-on-white startup templates
- Inter / Roboto / Arial as the visual voice unless the user explicitly wants utilitarian neutrality
- bullet walls, tiny type, or code blocks that require scrolling
- decorative illustrations when abstract geometry would do the job better
