Frontend Slides

A Claude Code skill for creating stunning, animation-rich HTML presentations — from scratch or by converting PowerPoint files.

What This Does

Frontend Slides helps non-designers create beautiful web presentations without knowing CSS or JavaScript. It uses a "show, don't tell" approach: instead of asking you to describe your aesthetic preferences in words, it generates visual previews and lets you pick what you like.

Key Features

  • Zero Dependencies — Single HTML files with inline CSS/JS. No npm, no build tools, no frameworks.
  • Visual Style Discovery — Can't articulate design preferences? No problem. Pick from generated visual previews.
  • PPT Conversion — Convert existing PowerPoint files to web, preserving all images and content.
  • Anti-AI-Slop — Curated distinctive styles that avoid generic AI aesthetics (bye-bye, purple gradients on white).
  • Production Quality — Accessible, responsive, well-commented code you can customize.

Installation

For Claude Code Users

Copy the skill files to your Claude Code skills directory:

# Create the skill directory
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/frontend-slides

# Copy the files (or download from this repo)
cp SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/frontend-slides/
cp STYLE_PRESETS.md ~/.claude/skills/frontend-slides/

Then use it by typing /frontend-slides in Claude Code.

Manual Download

  1. Download SKILL.md and STYLE_PRESETS.md from this repo
  2. Place them in ~/.claude/skills/frontend-slides/
  3. Restart Claude Code

Usage

Create a New Presentation

/frontend-slides

> "I want to create a pitch deck for my AI startup"

The skill will:

  1. Ask about your content (slides, messages, images)
  2. Ask about the feeling you want (impressed? excited? calm?)
  3. Generate 3 visual style previews for you to compare
  4. Create the full presentation in your chosen style
  5. Open it in your browser

Convert a PowerPoint

/frontend-slides

> "Convert my presentation.pptx to a web slideshow"

The skill will:

  1. Extract all text, images, and notes from your PPT
  2. Show you the extracted content for confirmation
  3. Let you pick a visual style
  4. Generate an HTML presentation with all your original assets

Included Styles

Dark Themes

  • Neon Cyber — Futuristic, techy, particle effects
  • Midnight Executive — Premium, corporate, trustworthy
  • Deep Space — Cinematic, inspiring, vast
  • Terminal Green — Developer-focused, hacker aesthetic

Light Themes

  • Paper & Ink — Editorial, literary, refined
  • Swiss Modern — Clean, Bauhaus-inspired, geometric
  • Soft Pastel — Friendly, playful, creative
  • Warm Editorial — Magazine-style, photographic

Specialty

  • Brutalist — Raw, bold, attention-grabbing
  • Gradient Wave — Modern SaaS aesthetic

Output Example

Each presentation is a single, self-contained HTML file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <!-- Fonts, CSS variables, all styles inline -->
</head>
<body>
    <section class="slide title-slide">
        <h1 class="reveal">Your Title</h1>
    </section>

    <section class="slide">
        <h2 class="reveal">Slide Content</h2>
    </section>

    <!-- Navigation: Arrow keys, scroll, swipe, or click dots -->
    <script>
        // SlidePresentation controller, animations, interactions
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Features included:

  • Keyboard navigation (arrows, space)
  • Touch/swipe support
  • Mouse wheel scrolling
  • Progress bar
  • Navigation dots
  • Scroll-triggered animations
  • Responsive design
  • Reduced motion support

Philosophy

This skill was born from the belief that:

  1. You don't need to be a designer to make beautiful things. You just need to react to what you see.

  2. Dependencies are debt. A single HTML file will work in 10 years. A React project from 2019? Good luck.

  3. Generic is forgettable. Every presentation should feel custom-crafted, not template-generated.

  4. Comments are kindness. Code should explain itself to future-you (or anyone else who opens it).
