# HTML Presentation Builder
This skill creates an interactive, self-contained HTML presentation from existing project documentation. It transforms Markdown documents into a professional, navigable web presentation with diagrams, collapsible sections, and modern UI.
## Purpose
Transforms existing Markdown documentation into an interactive, self-contained HTML presentation with 6 tabs (Overview, Requirements, Architecture/C4, Tech Spec, Roadmap, Guides) and Mermaid diagram support.
## When to Use This Skill
**This skill is a L2 WORKER** invoked by **ln-100-documents-pipeline** orchestrator OR used standalone.
Use this skill when:
- Building HTML presentation from existing documentation
- Rebuilding presentation after documentation updates
- Creating standalone presentation for sharing (no full documentation setup needed)
- Validating that source documentation is ready for presentation generation
**Part of workflow**: ln-100-documents-pipeline → ln-110-project-docs-coordinator → ln-120-reference-docs-creator → ln-130-tasks-docs-creator → ln-140-test-docs-creator (optional) → **ln-150-presentation-creator**
**Prerequisites**: Existing documentation in `docs/` directory with **required files**:
- `docs/project/requirements.md` (REQUIRED)
- `docs/project/architecture.md` (REQUIRED)
- `docs/project/tech_stack.md` (REQUIRED)
**Optional files** (enhance presentation but not blocking):
- `docs/project/api_spec.md`, `database_schema.md`, `design_guidelines.md`, `infrastructure.md`, `runbook.md`
- `docs/reference/adrs/*.md` (ADRs with Category: Strategic|Technical)
- `docs/reference/guides/*.md` (How-to guides)
- `docs/tasks/kanban_board.md` (Epic Story Counters for Roadmap)
## Workflow
The skill follows a **7-phase workflow**: READ DOCS → VALIDATE SOURCE EXISTS → VALIDATE SOURCE QUALITY → CREATE DIR → COPY TEMPLATES → INJECT CONTENT → BUILD HTML.
**Phase 1: READ DOCS** - Load all project documentation from docs/
**Phase 2: VALIDATE SOURCE EXISTS** - Check required files exist (requirements.md, architecture.md, tech_stack.md), warn if optional missing
**Phase 3: VALIDATE SOURCE QUALITY** - Check diagrams, placeholders, content length (read-only validation)
**Phase 4: CREATE DIR** - Create presentation/ directory + README.md navigation hub
**Phase 5: COPY TEMPLATES** - Copy HTML/CSS/JS templates to assets/
**Phase 6: INJECT CONTENT** - Parse MD docs → replace placeholders in tab files → delete example blocks
**Phase 7: BUILD HTML** - Assemble modular components into standalone presentation_final.html
**MANDATORY READ:** Load [references/phases_detailed.md](references/phases_detailed.md) for detailed workflow of each phase.
---
## Phase 1: Read Documentation
**Objective**: Load all project documentation for transformation.
**When to execute**: Always (first phase)
**Process**:
1. **Use docs/ as source**:
- Read documentation from `docs/project/`, `docs/reference/`, `docs/tasks/` directories
- Standard locations created by ln-114, ln-112, ln-113
2. **Read Core MD Documents**:
- `project/requirements.md` - Functional Requirements
- `project/architecture.md` - Architecture design, C4 diagrams
- `project/tech_stack.md` - Technology versions, Docker configuration
- `project/api_spec.md` - API endpoints, authentication (if exists)
- `project/database_schema.md` - Database schema, ER diagrams (if exists)
- `project/design_guidelines.md` - UI/UX design system (if exists)
- `project/infrastructure.md` - Infrastructure inventory (if exists)
- `project/runbook.md` - Operational procedures (if exists)
3. **Read ADRs** (if exist):
- `reference/adrs/adr-001-*.md` through `adr-NNN-*.md`
- Parse ADR metadata (status, date, title, Category: Strategic|Technical)
4. **Read Guides** (if exist):
- `reference/guides/*.md` - How-to guides for Guides tab
5. **Read Kanban Board** (if exists):
- `tasks/kanban_board.md` - Epic Story Counters table for Roadmap progress
6. **Extract metadata**:
- Project name, date, version from documents
- Preserve Mermaid diagram blocks
**Output**: Loaded documentation data ready for validation and HTML generation
---
## Phase 2: Validate Source Documentation Exists
**Objective**: Verify that required source documentation exists before building presentation. Prevent building incomplete presentations.
**When to execute**: After Phase 1 (documentation loaded)
**Process**:
### 2.1 Check required files
**REQUIRED** (must exist - block execution if missing):
- ✅ `docs/project/requirements.md`
- ✅ `docs/project/architecture.md`
- ✅ `docs/project/tech_stack.md`
For each required file:
1. Use Glob tool: `pattern: "docs/project/{filename}"`
2. If NOT found:
- Add to missing list
3. If found:
- Check file size > 100 bytes (not empty)
**If ANY required file missing or empty:**
```
❌ ERROR: Cannot build presentation - missing required documentation:
- docs/project/requirements.md [missing/empty]
- docs/project/architecture.md [missing/empty]
Suggestion: Run ln-111-project-docs-creator to create missing files.
STOP execution.
```
### 2.2 Check optional files
**OPTIONAL** (enhance presentation - warn if missing but continue):
- ⚠️ `docs/project/api_spec.md` (for backend projects)
- ⚠️ `docs/project/database_schema.md` (for projects with database)
- ⚠️ `docs/project/design_guidelines.md` (for frontend projects)
- ⚠️ `docs/project/runbook.md` (for operational projects)
For each optional file:
1. Use Glob tool: `pattern: "docs/project/{filename}"`
2. If NOT found:
- Add to optional missing list
**If optional files missing:**
```
⚠ WARN: Optional files missing: [list]
Presentation will have reduced content in some tabs.
Continue execution.
```
### 2.3 Check optional directories
**OPTIONAL directories:**
- `docs/reference/adrs/` - check if any ADR files exist (`adrs/*.md`)
- `docs/reference/guides/` - check if any guide files exist (`guides/*.md`)
- `docs/tasks/kanban_board.md` - check for Roadmap data
For each directory:
1. Use Glob tool to find files
2. If empty/missing:
- Log: `ℹ Optional directory empty: {directory} - related tab will show placeholder`
### 2.4 Report validation summary
Log summary:
```
✓ Source documentation validation completed:
Required files:
- ✅ requirements.md (found, 8.5 KB)
- ✅ architecture.md (found, 15.2 KB)
- ✅ tech_stack.md (found, 3.1 KB)
Optional files:
- ⚠️ api_spec.md (missing - Technical Spec tab will have reduced content)
- ✅ database_schema.md (found, 4.7 KB)
- ⚠️ design_guidelines.md (missing)
Optional directories:
- ✅ adrs/ (5 ADR files found)
- ⚠️ guides/ (empty - Guides tab will show placeholder)
- ✅ kanban_board.md (found - Roadmap will show progress)
```
**Output**: Validation passed (all required files exist) OR error (stop execution)
---
## Phase 3: Validate Source Content Quality
**Objective**: Verify source docs contain sufficient content. Warn about incomplete content but don't block execution.
**When to execute**: After Phase 2 (source files exist)
**Checks performed** (warnings only, non-blocking):
1. **Mermaid diagrams**: architecture.md must have ≥1 diagram, database_schema.md must have ER diagram
2. **Placeholders**: Detect `{{PLACEHOLDER}}`, `[Add your ...]`, `TODO:` patterns
3. **Content length**: requirements.md >500 words, architecture.md >1000 words, tech_stack.md >200 words
**Auto-fix**: None - ln-115 is read-only. Run ln-111-project-docs-creator to fix issues.
**Output**: Content quality report with warnings
📖 **Detailed workflow**: per `phases_detailed.md` §Phase 3
---
## Phase 4: Create Presentation Directory & README
**Objective**: Setup presentation directory structure and navigation hub.
**When to execute**: After Phase 3 (source validation complete, warnings logged)
**Process**:
1. **Create presentation directory**:
```bash
mkdir -p docs/presentation/
```
2. **Check if presentation/README.md exists**:
- Use Glob tool: `pattern: "docs/presentation/README.md"`
- If file exists:
- Skip creation
- Log: `✓ docs/presentation/README.md already exists (preserved)`
- Proceed to Phase 5
- If NOT exists:
- Continue to step 3
3. **Create presentation/README.md from template**:
- Copy template: `references/presentation_readme_template.md` → `docs/presentation/README.md`
- Replace placeholders:
- `{{PROJECT_NAME}}` — from requirements.md
- `{{LAST_UPDATED}}` — current date (YYYY-MM-DD)
- Content structure:
- **Purpose**: What is this presentation
- **Quick Navigation**: Links to presentation_final.html and assets/
- **Customization Guide**: How to edit source files in assets/
- **Build Instructions**: How to rebuild after changes
- **Maintenance**: When to rebuild, verification checklist
4. **Notify user**:
- If created: `✓ Created docs/presentation/README.md (navigation hub)`
- If skipped: `✓ docs/presentation/README.md already exists (preserved)`
**Output**: docs/presentation/README.md (created or existing)
---
## Phase 5: Copy Templates to Project
**Objective**: Copy HTML/CSS/JS templates from skill references/ to presentation directory.
**When to execute**: After Phase 4 (presentation directory exists)
**Process**:
1. **Check if assets exist**:
- Use Glob tool: `pattern: "docs/presentation/assets/"`
- If `docs/presentation/assets/` exists:
- Skip copying (user may have customized files)
- Log: `✓ Presentation assets already exist - preserving user customizations`
- Proceed to Phase 6
- If NOT exists:
- Continue to step 2
2. **Copy template files**:
```bash
cp references/presentation_template.html → docs/presentation/assets/
cp references/styles.css → docs/presentation/assets/
cp references/scripts.js → docs/presentation/assets/
cp references/build-presentation.js → docs/presentation/assets/
cp -r references/tabs/ → docs/presentation/assets/tabs/
```
3. **Verify copied structure**:
```
docs/presentation/assets/
├── presentation_template.html # Base HTML5 + 6 tab navigation
├── styles.css # ~400-500 lines
├── scripts.js # Tab switching + Mermaid init
├── build-presentation.js # Node.js build script
└── tabs/
├── tab_overview.html # Landing page
├── tab_requirements.html # FRs + ADRs
├── tab_architecture.html # C4 diagrams
├── tab_technical_spec.html # API + Data + Deployment
├── tab_roadmap.html # Epic list
└── tab_guides.html # How-to guides
```
**Output**: Template files copied to docs/presentation/assets/ (or skipped if already exist)
**Note**: Templates contain placeholders (`{{VARIABLE_NAME}}`) that will be replaced in Phase 6.
---
## Phase 6: Content Injection & Example Cleanup
**Objective**: Parse MD docs, inject into HTML templates, remove example blocks.
**When to execute**: After Phase 5 (templates exist in assets/)
**Process**:
1. **Parse MD docs** (10 sources): requirements, architecture, tech_stack, api_spec, database_schema, design_guidelines, runbook, adrs/*.md, kanban_board, guides/*.md
2. **Inject content**: Replace `{{PLACEHOLDER}}` in 6 tab files with parsed content
3. **Delete examples**: Remove `<!-- EXAMPLE START -->...<!-- EXAMPLE END -->` blocks from all tabs
**Tab placeholders**: Overview (5), Requirements (4 + NFR ban), Architecture (5), Technical Spec (4), Roadmap (3), Guides (6)
**Validation**: No example markers, no hardcoded e-commerce data, only project-specific content
**Output**: Clean, project-specific tab files ready for build
📖 **Placeholder reference & example transformation**: per `phases_detailed.md` §Phase 6
---
## Phase 7: Build Final Presentation
**Objective**: Assemble modular components into standalone HTML file.
**When to execute**: After Phase 6 (content injected, examples deleted)
**Process**:
1. **Check if presentation_final.html exists (Auto-rebuild for automation)**:
- Use Glob tool: `pattern: "docs/presentation/presentation_final.html"`
- If file exists:
- **✓ Auto-rebuild** (generated file, safe operation)
- Log: `ℹ Rebuilding presentation_final.html (generated file, safe to rebuild)`
- Continue to step 2
- If NOT exists:
- Log: `Creating presentation_final.html`
- Continue to step 2
**Why auto-rebuild:**
- presentation_final.html is a **generated file** (source of truth: assets/ directory)
- Rebuilding is safe - no data loss (source files preserved in assets/)
- Maintains fully automatic workflow when invoked by ln-110-documents-pipeline
- User customizations in assets/ are preserved (only final HTML is regenerated)
2. **Navigate to presentation assets directory**:
```bash
cd docs/presentation/assets/
```
3. **Run build script**:
```bash
node build-presentation.js
```
4. **Build Script Process**:
- **Step 1**: Read presentation_template.html
- **Step 2**: Read and inline styles.css → `<style>` tag
- **Step 3**: Read and inline scripts.js → `<script>` tag
- **Step 4**: Read all 6 tab files → inject into empty `<div>` containers
- **Step 5**: Replace {{PLACEHOLDERS}} with actual values
- **Step 6**: Write `../presentation_final.html`
5. **Validate Output** (only if file was built):
- Check file size (~120-150 KB expected)
- Verify Mermaid diagrams syntax is valid
- Log: `✓ Build completed successfully`
6. **Notify user**:
- If rebuilt (file existed): `✓ Rebuilt docs/presentation/presentation_final.html (~120-150 KB)`
- If created (file NOT existed): `✓ Created docs/presentation/presentation_final.html (~120-150 KB)`
- Remind: `Test in browser: Double-click to open, or use http-server`
**Output**: docs/presentation/presentation_final.html (self-contained, ~120-150 KB, no external dependencies except Mermaid.js CDN)
**⚠️ Important Note:**
`presentation_final.html` is a **generated file** built from modular source files in `assets/`.
- ❌ **DO NOT edit `presentation_final.html` directly** — changes will be lost on next rebuild
- ✅ **DO edit source files** in `assets/` directory (template, tabs, styles, scripts)
- 🔄 **Rebuild after changes**: `cd assets/ && node build-presentation.js`

---
## Best Practices
**Idempotent operation**: Preserves README.md, preserves assets/ (user customizations), auto-rebuilds presentation_final.html.
**Key rules by phase**:
- **Phase 2**: STOP if required files missing; **Phase 3**: WARN only (non-blocking)
- **Phase 5**: Don't overwrite existing assets (user customizations)
- **Phase 6**: Delete ALL example blocks, escape XSS, valid Mermaid syntax
- **Phase 7**: Warn if output >200 KB
---
## Customization Options
Edit `assets/styles.css` (CSS variables for theming), `assets/presentation_template.html` (layout/tabs), or `assets/tabs/*.html` (tab content).
**⚠️ After any customization:** Always rebuild the presentation:
```bash
cd assets/
node build-presentation.js
```
**Important:** Never edit `presentation_final.html` directly — it's a generated file that gets overwritten on each build.
---
## Prerequisites
**Orchestrator**: ln-110-documents-pipeline | **Standalone**: Yes (rebuild/validate existing docs)
**Required files**: requirements.md, architecture.md, tech_stack.md (in docs/project/)
**Optional files**: api_spec, database_schema, design_guidelines, runbook, adrs/*.md, guides/*.md, kanban_board.md
**Dependencies**: Node.js v18+, Modern browser, Internet (Mermaid CDN)
---
## Definition of Done
- [ ] All docs loaded from docs/project/, docs/reference/, docs/tasks/ with metadata extracted and Mermaid blocks preserved
- [ ] Required files exist (requirements.md, architecture.md, tech_stack.md) — ERROR if missing
- [ ] Diagrams checked, placeholders detected, content length checked (WARN only)
- [ ] docs/presentation/ created, README.md created/preserved
- [ ] assets/ created with all templates OR preserved if exists
- [ ] All 6 tabs populated, example blocks deleted, no `<!-- EXAMPLE -->` markers, no hardcoded data
- [ ] `node build-presentation.js` executed, presentation_final.html created, tested in browser
**Output:** docs/presentation/presentation_final.html + assets/ + README.md
---
## Critical Rules
- **3 required files:** requirements.md, architecture.md, tech_stack.md must exist — STOP execution if missing
- **Never overwrite assets/:** Existing assets/ directory is preserved (user customizations); only presentation_final.html is regenerated
- **Delete ALL example blocks:** Every `<!-- EXAMPLE START -->...<!-- EXAMPLE END -->` must be removed; no hardcoded e-commerce data in output
- **Never edit presentation_final.html directly:** It is a generated file; edit source files in assets/ and rebuild
- **Node.js v18+ required:** Build script depends on Node.js for assembling final HTML
---
## Reference Files
- **Detailed phase workflow:** `references/phases_detailed.md`
- **Presentation README template:** `references/presentation_readme_template.md`
- **HTML template:** `references/presentation_template.html`
- **Styles:** `references/styles.css`
- **Scripts:** `references/scripts.js`
- **Build script:** `references/build-presentation.js`
- **Tab templates:** `references/tabs/tab_overview.html`, `tab_requirements.html`, `tab_architecture.html`, `tab_technical_spec.html`, `tab_roadmap.html`, `tab_guides.html`
---
## Troubleshooting
- **ERROR: Missing required files**: Run ln-111-project-docs-creator to create requirements.md, architecture.md, tech_stack.md
- **WARN: Missing diagrams**: Add Mermaid diagrams to architecture.md (C4 Context/Container/Component) and database_schema.md (ER diagram)
- **WARN: Placeholders found**: Complete documentation in source MD files before building
- **WARN: Sparse content**: Expand documentation (requirements.md >500 words, architecture.md >1000 words, tech_stack.md >200 words)
- **Build script fails**: Check Node.js v18+, navigate to assets/, verify all files exist
- **Mermaid diagrams not rendering**: Check syntax with Mermaid Live Editor, verify CDN loaded
- **Tabs not switching**: Check JavaScript loaded, open browser console for errors
- **File too large (>200 KB)**: Reduce diagrams, minify CSS/JS, remove unused rules
