## What it does

This skill creates dependency-free HTML presentations that remain editable in the browser. You can move objects, multi-select with `Ctrl+click`, snap items into alignment, change font family or text size, undo changes, and save with `Ctrl+S`.

Its Pages sidebar shows slide thumbnails and lets you reorder or delete slides. The deck includes a laser pointer, fullscreen mode, and HTML export. It also covers PPT and PDF conversion when the resulting web presentation needs further editing.

Visual design follows the selected preset instead of reusing a single generic layout. Prepare a complete brief first, because the skill asks for missing details before it starts building slides.

<objective>
Frontend Slides (Editable)

Create zero-dependency, animation-rich HTML presentations that run entirely in the browser **with a built-in editor**: move objects, multi-select with **Ctrl+click**, alignment snapping, simple text formatting with **font family + size controls**, **undo/redo**, a **Pages** sidebar (slide thumbnails, drag to reorder, delete), presentation tools (**Laser** pointer and **Fullscreen**), **Ctrl+S** persistence, and **export HTML**.

This skill is a **copy of the `frontend-slides` skill** extended with the editable deck runtime. For read-only decks without editor weight, use the original **`frontend-slides`** skill instead (same skills directory layout).
</objective>

<preset_fidelity>
Parity with parent `frontend-slides` (style flexibility)

**Adding edit mode must not replace preset authoring.** The parent skill treats each choice in [STYLE_PRESETS.md](STYLE_PRESETS.md) as a **spec**: per preset you implement its **Layout** prose, **Signature Elements**, typography, and colors — title slides and content slides **differ across presets** (e.g. Bold Signal’s card + big numerals vs. Notebook Tabs’ paper + edge tabs vs. Swiss Modern’s grid + red bar).

**Normative behavior in Phase 3:**

1. **Read STYLE_PRESETS for the chosen preset(s)** and reflect **layout + signatures** in HTML/CSS, not only `:root` colors and fonts.
2. **The editable reference** ([examples/editable-deck-reference.html](examples/editable-deck-reference.html)) supplies **JS/CSS patterns** (chrome, sidebar, objects, history) — not a **frozen slide layout** to paste on every deck. Do **not** reuse one generic “title + subtitle + corner rounded rectangle” geometry for every style.
3. **`examples/generated/presets/*.html`** are sample decks, not a layout shortcut. The 12 legacy samples are runtime smoke + visual previews; the 34 ported samples are real-template ports from `beautiful-html-templates` using the shared Swiss/reference runtime plus locked slot editing. For real deliveries, match the chosen preset/template grammar instead of reusing a generic README deck.
4. **Static chrome** (decorations that should not be draggable) may live outside `.slide-edit-layer` (e.g. background pseudo-elements, fixed nav chrome) per preset; **movable** copy and blocks stay as `[data-slide-object]` inside the layer.
