Presentations

The problem

Creating presentations means wrestling with PowerPoint templates, finding appropriate layouts for different content types, and manually checking color contrast ratios. Designers spend time on slide mechanics instead of content. And generating a cohesive color palette that meets accessibility standards requires tools that sit outside the design workflow.

How it works

Two skills for visual output. The slide deck generator produces a single self-contained HTML file — no dependencies, no cloud service, works offline. The color palette generator creates coordinated palettes with accessibility checks built in.

Skills

Skill	What it covers
/slide-deck-generator	22 slide types, Helvetica typography, editorial layout, keyboard and touch navigation, responsive design
/color-palette-generator	Palettes from descriptions, images, brands, or hex codes — 8-12 colors with WCAG AA contrast checks and example pairings
/resize-images	Batch-resize photos for web (WebP at 1920/1200/400px) and print (300 DPI JPEG at ARCH A, B, C)

Output

The slide deck generator produces a single HTML file that works everywhere — open it in a browser, present from any device, share via email. No Google Slides, no Figma, no PowerPoint. The color palette generator produces swatch cards with hex values, RGB, HSL, contrast ratios against white and dark backgrounds, and suggested pairings.
