❯ create ppt about magicslides
⏺ I'll help you create a PowerPoint presentation about MagicSlides. Let me use
the presentation tool to create this for you.
⏺ Skill(pptx)
⎿  Successfully loaded skill
⏺ I'll create a PowerPoint presentation about MagicSlides for you. Let me start
by reading the documentation to understand the workflow.
⏺ Read(.claude/skills/pptx/html2pptx.md)
⎿  Read 625 lines
⏺ Now let me plan the presentation structure and design. I'll create a
professional presentation about MagicSlides with an appropriate color scheme
and layout.
Let me create a presentation about MagicSlides. I'll choose a design that
reflects innovation, AI/technology, and presentation creation. I'll use a
modern color palette with purple and blue tones to convey creativity and tech
sophistication.
Design Approach:
- Color Palette: Deep Purple & Emerald (Purple #B165FB, Dark Blue #181B24,
Emerald #40695B, White #FFFFFF) - conveys innovation, AI sophistication, and
modern tech
- Typography: Arial for clean, professional readability
- Visual Style: Modern with geometric accents, clean layouts, and strong
visual hierarchy
Let me create the HTML slides:
⏺ Write(slide1.html)
⎿  Wrote 22 lines to slide1.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
html { background: #ffffff; }
body {
width: 720pt; height: 405pt; margin: 0; padding: 0;
background: #181B24; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
… +12 lines (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Write(slide2.html)
⎿  Wrote 31 lines to slide2.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
html { background: #ffffff; }
body {
width: 720pt; height: 405pt; margin: 0; padding: 0;
background: #FFFFFF; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
display: flex;
}
… +21 lines (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Write(slide3.html)
⎿  Wrote 41 lines to slide3.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
html { background: #ffffff; }
body {
width: 720pt; height: 405pt; margin: 0; padding: 0;
background: #FFFFFF; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
display: flex;
}
… +31 lines (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Write(slide4.html)
⎿  Wrote 45 lines to slide4.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
html { background: #ffffff; }
body {
width: 720pt; height: 405pt; margin: 0; padding: 0;
background: #FFFFFF; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
display: flex;
}
… +35 lines (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Write(slide5.html)
⎿  Wrote 45 lines to slide5.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
html { background: #ffffff; }
body {
width: 720pt; height: 405pt; margin: 0; padding: 0;

display: flex;
}
… +35 lines (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Write(slide6.html)
⎿  Wrote 23 lines to slide6.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
html { background: #ffffff; }
body {
width: 720pt; height: 405pt; margin: 0; padding: 0;
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #181B24 0%, #2D1B3D 100%);
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
… +13 lines (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Now I need to fix slide6.html because it uses CSS gradients which are not
supported. I'll need to create a gradient background image first using Sharp:
⏺ Write(create-presentation.js)
⎿  Wrote 39 lines to create-presentation.js
const pptxgen = require('pptxgenjs');
const html2pptx = require('/Users/sanskartiwari/Desktop/software/askvi
deo/.claude/skills/pptx/scripts/html2pptx.js');
const sharp = require('sharp');
async function createGradient() {
const svg = `<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="1440"
height="810">
<defs>
<linearGradient id="g" x1="0%" y1="0%" x2="100%" y2="100%">
<stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:#181B24"/>
<stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:#2D1B3D"/>
… +29 lines (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Now let me update slide6.html to use the gradient background image:
⏺ Update(slide6.html)
⎿  Added 2 lines, removed 1 line
5 html { background: #ffffff; }
6 body {
7 width: 720pt; height: 405pt; margin: 0; padding: 0;
8 - background: linear-gradient(135deg, #181B24 0%, #2D1B3D
-100%);
8 + background-image: url('gradient-bg.png');
9 + background-size: cover;
10 font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
11 display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content:
center; align-items: center;

⏺ Now let me run the JavaScript file to create the presentation:
