What HTML PPT Pastel Card does

The HTML PPT Pastel Card skill is designed for users looking to create visually appealing presentation decks, specifically tailored for personal storytelling and decision-making. This skill serves as a focused entry point into the broader HTML PPT framework, providing users with a full-deck template that emphasizes a soft, pastel aesthetic. It is particularly suitable for those who want to convey personal narratives or travel photo essays in a visually engaging format.

To get started with this skill, users should familiarize themselves with the master skill documentation, which outlines the authoring rules and best practices for creating effective presentations. The process involves copying the provided template files and ensuring that the necessary CSS and JavaScript dependencies are correctly linked to avoid any runtime issues. Users can choose from a variety of themes to customize the look and feel of their decks, allowing for a personalized touch that aligns with their content.

This skill is ideal for individuals or teams preparing presentations for community discussions, talks, or any audience-focused events where storytelling is key. The structure encourages users to replace demo content while maintaining the integrity of the template's CSS classes, ensuring that the visual design remains intact. Additionally, speaker notes can be included without cluttering the slides, which is essential for effective presentations.

Overall, the HTML PPT Pastel Card skill is a valuable tool for anyone looking to create decision-grade story decks that resonate with their audience, combining ease of use with a strong visual identity.

HTML PPT · 柔和马卡龙慢生活

A focused entry point into the html-ppt master skill that lands the user directly on the xhs-pastel-card full-deck template.

When this card is picked

The Examples gallery wires "Use this prompt" to the example_prompt above. When you accept that prompt, this card is the right pick if the user wants exactly the visual identity of xhs-pastel-card (see the upstream full-decks catalog for screenshots and rationale).

How to author the deck

  1. Read the master skill first. All authoring rules live in design-templates/html-ppt/SKILL.md — content/audience checklist, token rules, layout reuse, presenter mode, the keyboard runtime, and the "never put presenter-only text on the slide" rule.
  2. Start from the matching template folder: design-templates/html-ppt/templates/full-decks/xhs-pastel-card/ — copy index.html and style.css into the project, keep the .tpl-xhs-pastel-card body class.
  3. Bring the shared runtime with the template. The upstream index.html links the shared CSS/JS via ../../../assets/... because it sits three folders deep inside design-templates/html-ppt/templates/full-decks/. Once you copy index.html into the project, those parent-relative URLs no longer resolve and base.css, animations.css, and runtime.js will 404 — meaning the deck never activates and slide navigation is dead. Pick one of these two recipes per project:
    • Recipe A — copy + rewrite (preferred): copy design-templates/html-ppt/assets/fonts.css, design-templates/html-ppt/assets/base.css, design-templates/html-ppt/assets/animations/animations.css, and design-templates/html-ppt/assets/runtime.js into a project-local assets/ (with assets/animations/animations.css), then rewrite the four <link>/<script> tags in index.html from ../../../assets/... to the matching project-local paths (assets/fonts.css, assets/base.css, assets/animations/animations.css, assets/runtime.js).
    • Recipe B — inline: read the same four files and replace each <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../assets/..."> with a <style>...</style> containing the file's contents, and the <script src="../../../assets/runtime.js"> with a <script>...</script> containing runtime.js. Yields a single self-contained index.html. Either way, do not ship the upstream ../../../assets/... URLs verbatim into a project artifact — they only work in-tree.
  4. Pick a theme. Default tokens look fine; if the user wants a different feel, swap in any of the 36 themes from design-templates/html-ppt/assets/themes/*.css via <link id="theme-link"> and let T cycle.
  5. Replace demo content, not classes. The .tpl-xhs-pastel-card scoped CSS only recognises the structural classes shipped in the template — keep them.
  6. Speaker notes go inside <aside class="notes"> or <div class="notes"> — never as visible text on the slide.
