html-ppt-zhangzara-scatterbrain
Helps your agent present a design graduation project about a wayfinding system in a transit hub. It details the brief, process, and outcome.
What it does
This tool creates HTML presentations that look like designer's drafts, similar to sticky notes. It's best for showing ideas in progress, not final conclusions.
When to use it
- ✓For creative brainstorms and workshops.
- ✓To present initial project ideas.
- ✓When you want an informal, work-in-progress look.

How it works
You start by copying an example file and replacing the content. It's important not to change the fonts, colors, or layout to maintain the draft style.
Installation
Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.
In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

Scatterbrain
Post-it inspired: pastel sticky notes, Caveat handwriting, Shrikhand and Zilla Slab type stack.
A single self-contained HTML deck — typography, palette, decorative system, and slide vocabulary are all tuned together. Mixing layouts across templates breaks the system; stay inside this one.
At a glance
- Scheme: light
- Formality: low
- Density: high
- Slides in demo: 10
Best for
Anything that should feel like a designer's whiteboard: brainstorms, workshops, creative-agency credentials, design-thinking sessions, ideation pitches, art-direction reviews. Equally fun for any deck — including tech, research, or business — that wants to read as in-progress thinking rather than polished conclusions.
Avoid for
Contexts that demand precision and institutional weight — the post-it sticky-note aesthetic intentionally reads as warm and unfinished.
Workflow
- Clone
example.htmlinto the user's workspace as the working file. - Replace placeholder content with the user's real headlines, body copy, numbers, names, dates, and section labels. Match existing dimensions when swapping image placeholders.
- Preserve the design system. Never substitute fonts, recolor the palette, restructure the layout grid, or strip decorative elements (corner brackets, paper grain, geometric shapes, illustrated SVGs). They are part of the identity.
- Adjust deck length by duplicating layouts. If the user has more content than the demo holds, duplicate an existing slide of the most appropriate layout. If less, drop slides from the bottom. Update page-number labels.
- Designing missing layouts: if a slide needs a layout the template doesn't have, design it from scratch using the same fonts, palette, decorative vocabulary, spacing rhythm, and component grammar — never bail to a different template.
- Keep the navigation runtime as shipped. If the deck ships an
assets/deck-stage.jsor inline keyboard handler, leave it intact.

FAQ
Can I change the colors and fonts?
No, the sticky note and draft style is maintained by not altering these elements.
What does 'design system' mean?
It's the set of design rules (colors, fonts, shapes) that define the unique appearance of this presentation.
How do I add or remove slides?
You can duplicate existing slides to add more content or remove slides from the end if you have less content.
