ARIA Presentation Skill

Generate single-file HTML presentations that match the ARIA v1.0 design system — warm earth-tone palette, serif display headings, monospace labels, 1920x1080 canvas with JS viewport scaling, section nav legend, and staggered entrance animations.

Workflow

Always follow this two-step intake before generating:

Step 1 — Ask for Context

Ask the user: "What is this presentation about? Give me the content, topic, or talking points." Collect all the information they want to convey.

Step 2 — Ask for Slide Layout

Never assume layout from context. After receiving context, present a numbered slide list and ask: "Here's the slide structure I'd suggest — please confirm or adjust:"

1. Title slide (dark) — "Presentation Title"
2. Section divider (accent) — "Section Name"
3. Content slide — two-col layout with cards
...

For each slide, specify:

  • Variant: title / dark / accent / content / image
  • Layout: single-col / two-col / three-col / cards-grid / custom diagram
  • Key content summary

Only generate HTML after the user confirms.

Animation Stagger

Elements get classes anim-1 through anim-6 for staggered fadeUp on slide entry:

  • anim-1: 0.1s delay
  • anim-2: 0.25s delay
  • anim-3: 0.4s delay
  • anim-4: 0.55s delay

  • anim-fade: fadeIn at 0.3s delay

Slide Variants

1. Title Slide (.slide--title)

Dark background (--ink), centered content, large serif heading (5.8rem, weight 300). Use for: Opening slide, presentation title.

2. Section Divider (.slide--accent)

Terracotta background, centered, section number label, h1 at 4rem weight 300. Use for: Chapter breaks between major sections.

3. Content Slide (default .slide)

Cream background. Supports layouts:

  • Single column: Label + h2 + body content
  • Two column: .two-col grid (1fr 1fr, gap 60px)
  • Three column: .three-col grid (1fr 1fr 1fr, gap 40px)
  • Cards grid: Cards in columns

4. Dark Slide (.slide--dark)

Dark background (--ink), cream text. Same layouts as content. Use for: Emphasis, technical deep-dives, code-heavy slides.

5. Image Slide (.slide--image)

6. End/Thank-You Slide

Light background, centered, minimal. Label + large h1 + divider + attribution.

Output Structure

Every generated presentation must follow this exact HTML skeleton:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>PRESENTATION_TITLE</title>
  <!-- Google Fonts: Cormorant Garamond, DM Sans, JetBrains Mono -->
  <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
  <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
  <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Cormorant+Garamond:ital,wght@0,300;0,400;0,500;0,600;0,700;1,300;1,400&family=DM+Sans:ital,opsz,wght@0,9..40,300;0,9..40,400;0,9..40,500;0,9..40,600;0,9..40,700;1,9..40,300;1,9..40,400&family=JetBrains+Mono:wght@300;400;500&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

<div class="deck" id="deck">

  <!-- SLIDES HERE -->

  <!-- Section Nav Legend -->
  <div class="section-nav hidden" id="sectionNav">
    <!-- nav items + separators -->
  </div>

  <!-- Progress bar -->
  <div class="progress" id="progress"></div>
  <div class="slide-counter" id="counter">1 / N</div>

</div><!-- /deck -->

<script>
  /* Navigation engine from js-template.md */
</script>

<script>
  /* Diagram editor from diagram-editor.md (if presentation has diagrams) */
</script>
</body>
</html>

Key Rules

  1. Always ask for layout — Never assume slide layout from content. Ask explicitly.

  2. Concise text — Slide text must be concise. No paragraphs of prose. Use bullet points, short phrases, keywords. If user provides long text, distill it.

  3. Base64 images — All images must be base64 encoded inline. Never use external image URLs. If user provides an image file, read it and encode. If no image is available, use CSS-only visuals.

  4. Diagrams get the editor — Any slide with a positioned diagram layout must use class="diagram-editable" on the container and class="diagram-el" on positioned children. Include the diagram editor script (from diagram-editor.md). This lets the user press e to enable drag/resize editing and d to end edit and copy CSS positions to clipboard.

  5. Section nav reflects structure — The section nav at the top must list all major sections. Update the slideSection array and sectionFirstSlide map in the JS to match actual slide structure.

  6. Decorative layers — Every slide should include:

    • <div class="noise"></div> — subtle texture overlay
    • <div class="grid-lines"></div> — faint 80px grid (optional, good for content slides)
    • Corner glyphs on select slides (optional decorative touch)
  7. Stagger animations — Use anim-1 through anim-6 on slide children for entrance animations. First element is anim-1, second is anim-2, etc.

  8. Multi-step slides — For slides that reveal content progressively, add data-steps="N" to the slide div. Use CSS step-1, step-2 classes to show/hide content. The JS navigation engine handles step progression automatically.

  9. Responsive scaling — The 1920x1080 canvas scales to fit any viewport via the JS resizeDeck() function. Never use viewport units inside slides. All sizing is in rem/px relative to the 24px root.

  10. Single file — Everything must be in one .html file. No external CSS, JS, or assets.

Reference File Guide

Read these files from references/ in this skill folder when you need more detail:

FileWhen to Read
design-system.mdWhen you need exact color values, spacing rules, or typography details beyond the quick ref above
css-template.mdAlways read this when generating a presentation — it contains the complete base CSS to paste into <style>
js-template.mdAlways read this when generating — contains the navigation engine JS
slide-variants.mdWhen you need exact HTML templates for each slide type
component-library.mdWhen the user wants cards, pills, tables, code blocks, terminals, or other UI components
diagram-editor.mdWhen the presentation includes any positioned/diagrammatic layouts that should be editable
animation-patterns.mdWhen the user wants advanced animations beyond basic fadeUp (e.g., rail draw, runner dots, swimlanes)

For Simple Presentations (5-10 slides, no diagrams)

Read: css-template.md + js-template.md. The quick ref in this file covers everything else.

For Complex Presentations (diagrams, animations, many components)

Read: css-template.md + js-template.md + component-library.md + diagram-editor.md + animation-patterns.md.

Noto Sans KR

If the presentation contains Korean text, add Noto Sans KR to the Google Fonts link:

family=Noto+Sans+KR:wght@400;500;700

And use font-family: 'Noto Sans KR', sans-serif for Korean text elements.
