What is guizang-ppt-skill
guizang-ppt-skill is an open-source Claude Code / Claude Agent Skill that turns prompts into single-file HTML horizontal page-turning PPT. The visual tone of guizang-ppt-skill is "digital magazine × e-ink," inspired by the print magazine layouts of *Monocle*, *The Guardian*, etc., and Kindle reading aesthetics, blending a WebGL fluid background, large serif headlines, and a strict grid system. The output is a single-file HTML that opens on double-click, with no build tools or server required.
Main Features of guizang-ppt-skill
-
10 Page Layouts: Provides opening cover, section curtain cover, big data poster, text left image right, image grid, Pipeline flow, suspenseful question, big quote, Before/After comparison, and text-image mixed layout.
-
5 Theme Color Presets: Provides Ink Classic (general), Indigo Porcelain (tech/AI), Forest Ink (nature/humanities), Kraft Paper (nostalgia/literature), and Dune (art/creativity).
-
WebGL Dynamic Background: The cover hero page has a faintly visible fluid/dispersion effect, while content pages stay restrained with white space.
-
Magazine-Grade Page-Turning Interaction: Supports keyboard left/right arrows, mouse wheel, touch swipe, bottom dot navigation, and ESC thumbnail index.
-
Three-Level Font Division of Labor: Serif large headlines (opinion) + sans-serif body (information) + monospace metadata (page numbers/section numbers).
-
Single-File HTML Output: Zero build, zero dependencies, opens directly in the browser, and fonts/animations won't break when copied to others.
-
AI Image Generation: Calls Codex built-in GPT-Image-2 models to automatically generate high-quality images matching the content for PPT pages.
How to Use guizang-ppt-skill
- Installation Methods
-
Method 1 (Recommended): Send the following instruction to an AI Agent such as Claude Code / Cursor:Help me install
guizang-ppt-skill, rungit clone https://github.com/op7418/guizang-ppt-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/magazine-web-ppt, and verify that the directory containsSKILL.md、assets/、references/these three items. -
Method 2 (Manual): Run the above git clone command in the command line.
-
- Usage Workflow
-
Trigger the Skill: Say to Claude "help me make a magazine-style PPT" or keywords such as "horizontal swipe deck."
-
Requirement Clarification: Answer the 6 questions Claude asks—audience scenario, presentation duration, raw materials, image requirements, theme color selection, and hard constraints.
-
Outline Alignment: Claude first outputs an outline and theme rhythm table, and only generates code after confirmation, intercepting 80% of rework.
-
Fill In Content: Pick layout skeletons from
references/layouts.mdand paste them intotemplate.html, replacing the copy and image paths. -
Image Management: Put images in the
images/folder, with the naming rule "zero-padded page number + English semantics" (e.g.,03-figma.png); overwriting with the same name allows lossless image replacement. -
Self-Check and Preview: Compare against
references/checklist.mdCheck for P0-level issues, open the preview directly in the browser, and fine-tune font size/spacing with inline style.

Key information and usage requirements of guizang-ppt-skill
-
Runtime environment: Supports Claude Code / Claude Agent / any AI Agent with shell permissions.
-
Output format: Provides a single-file HTML, opened by double-clicking in the browser, no local server required.
-
Image specifications: Use JPG for photos and PNG for screenshots; a single image width ≥1600px; naming must be zero-padded (01 rather than 1).
-
Theme color restrictions: Only selection from 5 presets is allowed; custom hex values are not supported, protecting aesthetic consistency.
-
Grid discipline: The body uses a strict 7:5 / 6:6 grid; 3 or more consecutive pages with the same theme is a P0-level error.
-
Export PDF: Browser print function, one A4 page per page.
Core advantages of guizang-ppt-skill
-
Accumulated design experience: The author compressed 10 years of UI design and AI special effects experience into the Skill, writing every pitfall encountered into
checklist.md。 -
Human × AI collaboration interface: Align requirements upfront through a 6-question checklist to avoid the wrong direction after AI directly generates.
-
Constraints as aesthetics: Only 6 CSS variables control the theme, custom colors are prohibited; the stricter the constraints, the more stable the style.
-
Print-grade typography: Paper-white background + ink-colored text, not pure white or pure black, referencing the printing industry and Kindle e-paper standards.
-
Zero deployment cost: Supports cross-platform compatibility of a single-file HTML; sending it to others only requires copying one file.
