What it does

When installed, the agent starts from a ready-made single-file HTML slide deck with a pastel Post-it look and fills it with your own project headlines, text, numbers and dates, for example a graduation project defense presentation. It keeps the template's fonts, colours and decorative elements intact and can add or remove slides, or design a new slide in the same style. The output is one HTML file you can open in a browser.

Great for

  • Design students preparing a capstone or graduation project defense deck
  • Instructors or teams wanting a casual, in-progress style presentation for workshops or ideation reviews

Skip it if

  • Formal or institutionally weighty presentations, since the handwritten sticky-note aesthetic is intentionally informal (the skill itself says so)
  • Projects that need a consistent corporate or brand design system, because the skill forbids changing fonts or palette and the layout is fixed

Try asking

  • “Turn my transit hub wayfinding project notes into a 10-slide defense deck in this template”
  • “Make the deck longer by adding two more case-study slides in the same style”
  • “Replace the placeholder numbers in this deck with my user test results”

Get better results

  • Provide the audience, decision goal, key numbers and deadline up front so the agent fills the deck accurately
  • Keep the bundled LICENSE file with any copy of the template, since the upstream work is MIT licensed and requires it to be redistributed
  • Expect the output to be a single HTML file; check fonts load correctly on the machine where you present
