Progress-Slides

What It Does

Progress-Slides converts structured work progress data into professional, self-contained HTML presentations — no design tools, no external dependencies, no setup required. You provide a YAML data file; the AI returns a complete, ready-to-share HTML file.

The output runs entirely in the browser as a single file, making it easy to share via email, Slack, or any file transfer without worrying about broken links or missing assets.

Six visual styles to choose from:

• Minimalist — clean white background, maximum readability
• Dark Signal — tech-forward dark aesthetic
• Swiss Modern — bold contrast, grid-driven layout
• Botanical — soft greens, calm and approachable
• Cyber Terminal — retro CRT / command-line aesthetic
• Editorial — magazine-style layout with typographic hierarchy

Why I Built It

Progress updates are one of the most repetitive parts of any project. Every sprint, every week, someone has to take raw status data and turn it into something presentable — whether it's a Notion page, a deck, or a doc dropped in Slack.

The problem is that "presentable" usually requires a designer's time or an hour in Keynote. Most teams don't have that, so progress reports end up as bullet-point walls that nobody reads.

Progress-Slides separates the data from the presentation layer. You maintain your progress in a structured YAML format — which is fast to update — and the skill handles the visual translation. The output is a stable, predictable HTML file that looks intentional without requiring design effort.

I also wanted to prove that prompt engineering could replace an entire category of templated tooling. No Figma. No PowerPoint. Just a well-designed skill and structured input.
