Replit Deck Skill

Produce a single-file horizontal-swipe HTML deck in one of eight Replit-Slides themes. Every theme is a complete visual system — do not mix tokens across themes.

Workflow

Step 0 — Pre-flight (mandatory reads)

Read
```
assets/template.html
```
end-to-end. The
```
[data-theme]
```
blocks carry the tokens; the
```
<script>
```
at the bottom solves five iframe nav bugs — do not rewrite it.
Read
```
references/themes.md
```
→ pick one theme that matches the user's brief. If the user already picked a theme via
```
od.inputs.theme
```
, use that.
Read
```
references/layouts.md
```
→ you'll copy
```
<section>
```
blocks from here.
Read
```
references/checklist.md
```
→ P0 must pass before emit.

Step 1 — Commit to one theme

Write out loud (in the TodoWrite or plan section) which theme and why. Once picked, every slide uses that theme's tokens only. No swapping mid-deck. The

<body data-theme="helix">

attribute is the single source of truth.

Theme	Pick when
`helix`	SaaS board update, product metrics, neutral modern
`holm`	Legal memo, investor pre-read, serious / institutional
`vance`	Art portfolio, design catalog, photographer / sculptor
`bevel`	Fashion campaign, lookbook, Y2K / editorial attitude
`world-dark`	Policy report, finance analysis, premium dark
`world-mint`	Lighter companion of world-dark — ESG, wellness finance, sustainability
`atlas`	Long-form narrative, chapter deck, museum / archive aesthetic
`bluehouse`	Consumer product, real estate, lifestyle, colorful cards

Step 2 — Plan slide rhythm before writing HTML

Default 6 slides. Write the rhythm BEFORE any HTML, for example (helix, 6 slides):

01  cover           hero + title + subtitle
02  kpi-row-6       6 metrics with ▲/▼ deltas
03  split-insight   left stat + right paragraph
04  chapter-plate   section divider
05  three-up        three parallel columns
06  closing         one bold number or CTA

Show this to the user. Redirecting at this stage is cheap.

Step 3 — Copy seed, bind theme

Copy
```
assets/template.html
```
to project root as
```
index.html
```
.
Set
```
<body data-theme="<chosen>">
```
.
Replace
```
<title>
```
.
Delete the placeholder slides in the body (the seed ships with 3 demo slides). Keep the chrome (counter / progress / hint).

Step 4 — Paste layouts, fill real copy

For each planned slide, copy the matching

<section>

from

references/layouts.md

. Replace every

[REPLACE]

with specific copy — never leave placeholders, never use lorem. If a slide feels empty, pick a different layout.

Tag each slide with

data-screen-label="01 Cover"

"02 Metrics"

, etc., in presentation order.

Step 5 — Self-check

Run

references/checklist.md

silently before emit: the P0 theme-lock gate plus the five-dimension 1–5 critique (Philosophy / Hierarchy / Execution / Specificity / Restraint). Any dimension ≤ 3 → re-do before emit.

The P0 theme-lock grep is non-negotiable:

bash

grep -E 'data-theme|style="--' index.html | head

If any

style="--accent:..."

or theme override appears on individual slides, revert. One theme per deck.

Step 6 — Emit artifact

<artifact identifier="deck-<slug>" type="text/html" title="<Deck title>">
<!doctype html>
<html>...</html>
</artifact>

One sentence before the artifact. Stop after

</artifact>

Hard rules

One theme per deck.
```
data-theme
```
set on
```
<body>
```
— never override per-slide.
Numbers are real or absent. No invented metrics. Use
```
—
```
or a grey block as an honest placeholder.
Display face follows theme. helix/world-dark/world-mint/bluehouse use the sans Display; holm/vance/atlas use the serif Display; bevel uses the Y2K display. Do not swap. (Authoritative source: the
```
--font-display
```
token of each theme in
```
assets/template.html
```
— if this list ever disagrees with the template, the template wins.)
Accent appears 1–2× per slide max. Never a gradient-spam.
Never rewrite the nav script. Five iframe bugs it solves are not obvious.
Keep it one HTML file. Inline all CSS. No external fonts — the system stack in each theme is deliberate.
data-screen-label
on every slide.
No Replit logo / brand lockup. These are template styles, not a Replit-brand deck.

When to pick

replit-deck

vs. peer skills

Skill	Pick when
`simple-deck`	Plain, single-theme deck bound to the project's `DESIGN.md` tokens. When the deck should match the host brand, not assert its own. ( `designSystemRequired: true` .)
`magazine-web-ppt`	Editorial "magazine × e-ink" aesthetic (WebGL fluid background, serif titles, chapter plates). When the brief asks for a keynote / launch / sharing-style deck and calls out Monocle / WIRED / Kinfolk / Domus.
`replit-deck`	The brief explicitly asks for Replit-Slides gallery aesthetic, or needs one of the 8 token-frozen visual identities (SaaS board, editorial memo, gallery catalog, Y2K campaign, policy report, museum chapter, consumer cards). No dependency on `DESIGN.md` .

If the user just says "make me a deck" without further guidance, default to

simple-deck

— it respects their design system. Pick

replit-deck

only when the brief is explicit about the aesthetic or names a theme.

Scope & provenance

Eight themes = the full replit.com/slides landing-page gallery at the time of snapshot. Not a curated subset — every theme card currently published on replit.com/slides is represented here (helix, holm, vance, bevel, world-dark, world-mint, atlas, bluehouse). If Replit ships a ninth template, it is not automatically reflected in this skill.
Snapshot date: 2026-04-29. All hex values were sampled from the actual replit.com/slides PNGs on that date with ImageMagick — no guessed colors, no memory substitutions. See
```
references/themes.md
```
→ Contributing a new theme for the exact sampling procedure.
Maintenance: one-time snapshot, not tracked. Replit Slides is a live product and may drift. This skill does not auto-sync. If you notice Replit has updated colors or added a theme and want it reflected here, open an issue on
```
nexu-io/open-design
```
titled
```
replit-deck: re-sync to replit.com/slides (YYYY-MM-DD)
```
and attach the updated screenshots. There is no designated owner monitoring the upstream.
No Replit branding. These are gallery-style templates, not a Replit-brand deck. The checklist (P0) forbids inserting a Replit logo or wordmark.

Browser / runtime support

Target: modern evergreen desktop browsers (Chrome 110+ / Safari 16+ / Firefox 115+) and modern mobile Safari / Chrome.
Features used: CSS scroll-snap (horizontal),
```
color-mix()
```
, CSS custom properties,
```
text-wrap: balance
```
. All ≥ 93% Baseline.
Not supported: IE 11, Safari < 15, any browser without
```
color-mix()
```
(would need a fallback
```
--accent-soft
```
if you want to support older Safari; out of scope for this skill).
Mobile: horizontal scroll-snap works on iOS Safari 16+ and Android Chrome. Keyboard nav is desktop-only by design.
Nav script behavior: reused verbatim from
```
skills/simple-deck
```
— survives iframe embedding (the daemon preview surface), dual listener races, focus loss, and position persistence across reloads. Do not rewrite it.

Verification

The skill auto-registers with the daemon on filesystem scan (no manual wiring). Confirmed against a running daemon on

localhost:7456

after adding this skill:

bash

$ curl -s localhost:7456/api/skills \
    | node -e "const d=JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync(0,'utf-8')); \
               console.log(JSON.stringify(d.skills.find(s=>s.id==='replit-deck'), null, 2));"
{
  "id": "replit-deck",
  "name": "replit-deck",
  "description": "Single-file horizontal-swipe HTML deck in the style of Replit Slides's\nlanding-page template gallery. Eight distinct themes …",
  "triggers": [

    "replit slides",
    "replit 风格 ppt",
    "replit style deck",
    "helix deck",

    "bluehouse",

  ],
  "mode": "deck",

  "hasBody": true
}

All four example decks (

examples/example-{helix,holm,atlas,bluehouse}.html

) open directly in a browser. Keyboard nav (← / → / Space / Home / End) and horizontal scroll-snap work in Chrome 129 and Safari 18.
