What does frontend-slides do?
frontend-slides is a skill that makes animated slide decks as single HTML files with inline CSS and JS, or converts a PowerPoint file into one. It asks four questions at once: purpose, length, whether content is ready, and whether the deck is for speaking or reading. It then builds three title-slide previews, a safe preset, a bold template and a wildcard, and opens them so you can pick by eye. Every slide sits on a fixed 1920 by 1080 stage that scales to any screen. PPTX text is pulled with python-pptx, and afterward it can deploy the deck to Vercel or export a PDF through Playwright.
When should you use frontend-slides?
Use it when
- You need a talk or pitch deck that runs in a browser
- You want to turn a PPTX into a web presentation
- You can't describe a style but know it when you see it
Skip it when
- Your audience needs an editable PowerPoint file
- You need animations kept in a PDF handout
What it needs and what it can touch
You need
- Python with python-pptx, for PowerPoint conversion
- A Vercel account and Node.js, to publish a link

What it can do
- Writes HTML decks and previews into your project
- Runs Python and bash scripts
- Uploads the deck to Vercel when you ask
