Creates a single-page web presentation (HTML) with an electronic magazine and e-ink visual style. It uses animated backgrounds, elegant fonts, and horizontal navigation.

When to use it

  • ✓Offline or internal presentations.
  • ✓AI new product launches or demo days.
  • ✓Talks with a strong personal style.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Create a magazine-style presentation about the future of AI, focusing on ethics and social impact.”

How it works

The AI uses a web page template with a magazine-inspired design. It organizes your content into horizontal sections that you can navigate using keyboard arrows or touch swipes.

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:

npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill magazine-web-ppt

Or download just the file:

Magazine Web Ppt

What this skill does

Generates a single-file HTML horizontal-swipe deck with a visual tone of:

  • A electronic magazine + electronic ink hybrid style
  • A WebGL fluid / contour / dispersion background (visible on hero pages)
  • Serif headlines (Noto Serif SC + Playfair Display) + sans-serif body (Noto Sans SC + Inter) + monospace metadata (IBM Plex Mono)
  • Lucide line icons (no emoji)
  • Horizontal left/right paging (keyboard ← →, scroll wheel, touch swipe, bottom dots, ESC index)
  • Smooth theme interpolation: when you flip to a hero page, the colors and shader transition softly

This skill's aesthetic is not "corporate PPT," nor "consumer-internet UI": it looks like Monocle magazine after code was stitched onto it.

When to use

Suitable scenarios:

  • Offline talks / internal industry talks / private salons
  • AI new-product launches / demo day
  • Talks with a strong personal style
  • A web version of slides that you "make once, with no paging tool needed"

Unsuitable scenarios:

  • Long stretches of tabular data, stacked charts (use a regular PPT)
  • Training courseware (information density too low)
  • Multi-person collaborative editing (this is static HTML)

Workflow

Step 0 · Infer a direction; ask only when comparison is requested

Infer one of the 5 magazine directions from the brief, audience, content, and known context. Each direction packages its theme color, recommended layouts, chrome style, and slide count. Use the closest fit and continue without asking.

Only when the user explicitly asks to see or compare direction options, open references/styles.md and present the 1-line summaries in one direction-cards question form:

1. Monocle Editorial · International magazine style ✦ default
2. WIRED Tech · Data + engineering
3. Kinfolk Slow · Slow living / humanist
4. Domus Architectural · Architecture / sense of space
5. Lab / Reference · Academic + craft manual

If the user says "I don't know, you recommend" or provides no direction cue: default to Monocle Editorial without asking, because it has the lowest failure probability. If the user mentions "AI / benchmark / technical launch": choose WIRED; "reading / private / social circle": choose Kinfolk; "design / architecture / portfolio": choose Domus; "research / academic / methodology": choose Lab.

After picking a direction, create or update 项目记录.md (Project Record) in the project folder, with the first line clearly stating direction + theme color + audience + duration (see the template at the end of styles.md). Do not change direction at any point: switching midway = everything before is wasted.

Step 1 · Resolve intent

If the user has already given a complete outline + images, you can skip straight to Step 2.

Infer the checklist below from the brief, project metadata, supplied content, and conversation. If a missing answer would materially change the deck and no safe default exists, ask only those unresolved fields in one consolidated question form. Do not ask the checklist one by one.

6-question clarifying checklist

Direction and theme color are inferred in Step 0 unless the user explicitly asks to compare options.

# Question Why ask it
1 Who is the audience? Sharing scenario? (internal industry / commercial launch / demo day / private salon) determines the language style and depth
2 Talk duration? 15 min ≈ 10 pages, 30 min ≈ 20 pages, 45 min ≈ 25-30 pages (see each direction's recommended range in styles.md)
3 Any source material? (documents / data / old PPT / article links) with material, build on it; without, help them build
4 Any images? Where are they? see the "Image convention" below
5 Which theme color do you want? ✓ already decided by the direction in Step 0
6 Any hard constraints? (must include XX data / must not show YY) avoids rework

Outline assistance (if the user has no outline)

Use the "narrative arc" template to build the skeleton, then fill in content:

Hook       → 1 page   : throw out a contrast / question / hard number that makes people stop
Context    → 1-2 pages : explain the background / who you are / why this topic
Core       → 3-5 pages : the core content, interleaving Layouts 4/5/6/9/10
Shift      → 1 page    : break the expectation / propose a new view

FAQ

Can I edit the presentation after it's created?

As it's a static HTML file, it's not meant for collaborative editing. You can edit the source code, but it's not an interactive slide editing tool.

Can I use images in my presentation?

Yes, you can include images by following a specific naming and location convention. Very large images might affect performance.

What are the available visual styles?

There are 5 main styles inspired by magazines like Monocle, WIRED, Kinfolk, Domus, and a lab/reference style, each with recommended colors and layouts.
