How to use the Guizang Editorial E-Ink Deck agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The Guizang Editorial E-Ink Deck (skill name deck-guizang-editorial) is an agent skill that tells an AI agent how to build a presentation in the style of a printed editorial magazine. It is aimed at narrative, opinion and personal talks, brand story decks and any slide set where you want paper-like colours and serif headlines instead of a tech look. After this guide you will know what the skill does, how to add it to your agent, how to ask for a deck in a way the skill responds to, and what to check in the output.
Guizang Editorial E-Ink Decknexu-io/html-anything · Apache-2.0 Download the skill Quick start
- 1Download and unzip the skill. Download the ZIP from this page and unzip it so you have a deck-guizang-editorial folder containing SKILL.md.
- 2Place it where your agent looks. Move the folder to ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or to the project's .claude/skills/ folder for one project. In the Claude apps, upload it under Settings → Capabilities → Skills instead.
- 3Write your content. Prepare your talk notes, story or points in plain text, including any real figures you want shown.
- 4Ask for an editorial deck. Request a deck by its purpose and style, for example a narrative talk in the editorial e-ink look, and name a palette if you have a preference.
- 5Open and check the HTML. Open the single HTML file in a browser and move through the slides with the left and right arrow keys.
- 6Adjust and reuse. Ask the agent to change a palette, swap a layout or add a slide, then regenerate the single HTML file.
What the skill makes the agent do
Once installed, the agent can turn your content into one single-file HTML presentation. The slides are laid out like pages of a printed magazine, with paper-like background colours, serif display headlines and a thin hairline rule and topic label at the top of each page.
The skill gives the agent a fixed visual system to work from. It offers five colour palettes and ten reusable slide layouts, and it sets rules about what the agent must avoid, so the result looks consistent from slide to slide.
- Five palettes: Monocle ink (墨水经典, the default), Indigo Porcelain (靛蓝瓷), Forest Ink (森林墨), Kraft Paper (牛皮纸) and Dune (沙丘). The hex values are fixed in the skill and should not be altered.
- Ten layouts, including L01 Hero Cover, L02 Act Divider, L03 Big Numbers Grid, L06 Pipeline / Flow, L07 Hero Question, L08 Big Quote and L09 Before / After.
- Navigation with the left and right arrow keys, with the current slide synced to the URL hash.
- No gradients, drop shadows, rounded corners, blur, emoji decoration or placeholder images. Visuals are drawn with plain CSS or inline SVG.
Install the skill (ZIP download or Claude apps upload)
Download the ZIP of the skill from this page and unzip it. The folder contains SKILL.md, which is the instruction file the agent reads, plus example.html, example.md and a sample of the output style.
For a personal setup, place the unzipped folder inside ~/.claude/skills/. For a single project, place it inside that project's .claude/skills/ folder instead. Use the project option if you only want the skill available in one codebase.
If you use the Claude apps, you can instead upload the skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
How to trigger the skill with a natural request
You do not need a special command. The skill describes its intent as narrative, opinion, sharing and personal expression, so ask for a talk or deck in those terms and say you want an editorial or magazine look. Mentioning a palette by name helps the agent choose the right colours.
Give the agent your actual content and the figures you want shown. The skill is designed to cover every point you supply, and it will use more slides for longer material. Layouts can repeat across chapters.
- Write a 10-slide talk on why I switched from managing a team to teaching, in the editorial e-ink style, using the Kraft Paper palette.
- Make a brand story deck for our bakery from these notes, magazine look, less tech.
- Turn this essay into a narrative slide deck with a chapter divider for each section and a big quote on the closing slide.
- Build a before and after deck for our onboarding change using the Forest Ink palette.
Examples of what you get
The skill ships an example that uses the Monocle ink palette with an L02 Act Divider cover and an L03 Big Numbers Grid. Its source is a Markdown file, so you can see how a plain-text brief maps onto slides. The example also credits op7418/guizang-ppt-skill as the inspiration for its Style A.
The Big Numbers layout expects figures you provide. The skill forbids invented numbers, so if a slide needs a statistic, put the real value in your request.
- Open example.html in a browser to see the finished look.
- Compare example.md with the example.html output to understand how your notes become slides.
What the skill needs and its safety notes
The skill file does not list any external software or API keys. The output is a single HTML file that you open in a web browser.
According to the skill's own assessment, it does not run scripts and does not use the network. It is licensed under Apache-2.0. Because it only shapes what the agent writes, review the generated HTML as you would any file the agent produces before you publish it.
- No scripts are run by the skill.
- No network use is declared by the skill.
- Fonts named in the skill are Playfair Display and Noto Serif SC for headlines, and Inter and Noto Sans SC for body text. If they are not installed on your machine, the browser will substitute other fonts, so check the layout on the device you present from.
What people use it for
