Workflow
Phase 1 — Gather Content
Ask the user:
- "What's the content? (paste text, share a .md file path, or describe what to build)"
- "What's the purpose? (proposal, report, pitch, research, internal update)"
- "Who's the audience?"
If a file path is provided, read it. If it's a markdown proposal, parse it into sections.
Phase 2 — Template Selection
Based on the purpose and audience, recommend 3 templates from the library above with a one-line reason for each. Show them as options (A, B, C).
For professional B2B proposals → default recommend blue-professional, signal, cartesian.
For research/reports → default recommend monochrome, vellum, cartesian.
For creative/agency → default recommend studio, editorial-forest, cobalt-grid.
Wait for the user to pick one — or auto-select if they say "you choose."
Phase 3 — Fetch Template
Use WebFetch to retrieve the raw HTML template from GitHub:
WebFetch: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zarazhangrui/beautiful-html-templates/main/templates/<template-name>/template.html
Read the template structure carefully:
- Identify all slide layout types available (cover, content, metrics, quote, split, timeline, etc.)
- Note the CSS variable names for colors and fonts
- Identify placeholder text patterns to replace
Phase 4 — Populate Content
Map the user's content onto the template's slide layouts:
Mapping rules:
- Cover slide → title, subtitle, date, submitted by
- Agenda slide → top-level sections as bullet list
- Content slides → one section per slide, headline = the key insight (not the topic label)
- Metrics slide → any numbers, KPIs, success metrics
- Quote slide → testimonials, key statements, pull quotes
- Split slide → before/after, problem/solution, two-column comparisons
- Timeline slide → roadmaps, horizons, phased plans
- Table slide → pricing, commercials, structured breakdowns
Content rules:
- Every slide headline = one complete insight
- Bad: "Section 3"
- Good: "90% of the team will have a live AI agent in production by month six"
- Never dump raw sections — rewrite as slide-friendly statements
- Keep bullets to 4–5 max per slide
- Numbers and metrics get their own slide
Replace all placeholder text in the template HTML with the user's actual content. Preserve all CSS, JS, navigation, and structure — only change the text content and optionally adjust CSS color variables if needed to better match the client's brand.
Phase 5 — Save and Open
Save the populated HTML file with a descriptive filename (e.g. sb-ai-proposal.html).
Offer to:
- Convert to PDF using Playwright:
npx playwright install chromium --with-deps
node -e "
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.setViewportSize({ width: 1280, height: 720 });
await page.goto('file://' + require('path').resolve('<filename>.html'));
const slideCount = await page.evaluate(() => document.querySelectorAll('.slide').length);
await page.pdf({
path: '<filename>.pdf',
width: '1280px',
height: '720px',
printBackground: true,
pageRanges: '1-' + slideCount
});
await browser.close();
console.log('Saved: <filename>.pdf');
})();
