Good for

  • Preparing slides for a humanities lecture
  • Presenting research in a graduate seminar
  • Turning a research synthesis into a scholarly deck

Overview

What it does

Create HTML slides for humanities lectures and research presentations, organizing source materials, arguments, and evidence into a clear presentation structure. The skill uses a restrained template that combines a deep navy background, warm-yellow serif typography, and muted teal accents. It develops a slide outline, body text, and visual direction, and checks whether claims about the research’s novelty are overstated.

When it helps

Use it for research presentations to faculty, graduate seminars, or research overviews that bring together several sources. It suits presentations where readers should follow the argument at a measured pace, with the emphasis on calmly reading the reasoning rather than vivid colors or energetic visuals.

Example requests

“Create slides for a graduate seminar on how Renaissance linear perspective influenced early cartography.”

“Use these research materials to create a presentation structure with traceable sources and evidence.”

Notes

Duplicate example.html and edit it while preserving the existing fonts, colors, and decoration. Speaker notes and animations are not included. When redistributing the template or bundled assets, include the full MIT license text, including the copyright notice.

Vellum

Deep navy canvas with warm-yellow italic Cormorant serifs and a single dusty teal accent. A quiet, scholarly aesthetic.

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: dark
  • Formality: high
  • Density: low
  • Slides in demo: 9

Best for

Anything that should feel scholarly, literary, and quietly intelligent: research synthesis, white papers, academic and policy briefs, advisory deliverables, longform editorial pieces, founder reflections. Equally strong for any deck — including tech, business, or creator work — that wants a calm, considered atmosphere instead of energetic visuals.

Avoid for

Contexts that need visual heat or pop — the navy + warm-yellow italic-Cormorant aesthetic is intentionally low-tempo.

Workflow

  1. Clone example.html into the user's workspace as the working file.
  2. Replace placeholder content with the user's real headlines, body copy, numbers, names, dates, and section labels. Match existing dimensions when swapping image placeholders.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Keep the navigation runtime as shipped. If the deck ships an assets/deck-stage.js or inline keyboard handler, leave it intact.
