iPolloWork Template Generator

Create reusable templates for design, slides, and video projects.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/ipollowork-template-generation-devin-axis/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)
    Sign up to copy
  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

Create or update reusable iPolloWork templates through conversation for Design, Slides/native editable PPT, and HyperFrames Video. Use when planning, generating, repairing, validating, or saving a template package, manifest, reusable variables, cover, slide/PPT markers, video composition, or design-system token integration.

What this skill does

iPolloWork Template Generation

Create a reusable template, not a one-off artifact. The product-selected category and server validator are authoritative.

Route The Work

  1. Read references/template-generation-contract.md.
  2. Read exactly one surface reference:
  3. When converting an existing project, preserve its category, surface, structure, and source files. Saving creates a new personal template; it never updates the source template.

Conversational Authoring

Guide the user in this order: purpose and audience, content structure, reusable variables, visual/design system, surface-specific constraints, generation and validation.

  • Ask one consequential question at a time.
  • Do not ask for information the user already supplied.
  • Once the project is sufficiently specified, edit the project and show the result instead of extending the interview.
  • Keep the package manifest, variable declarations, cover, and validation checklist current after every structural change.
  • Treat the selected design system as optional context. Load only its manifest, usage guide, and design rules; never load every installed system.
  • Use local assets or stable user-provided asset URLs. Do not invent dependencies.

Package Loop

  1. Maintain manifest.json, the surface entry, design-tokens.css, local assets when needed, and a 960 x 540 cover.
  2. Put reusable content in typed manifest/HyperFrames variables and reusable visual choices in --ipw-* tokens. Do not mix content variables with design tokens.
  3. Preserve structural invariants while applying themes: DOM meaning, responsive layout, slide geometry/PPT markers, or video timing/tracks/compositions.
  4. Run the product validator before saving:
node .codex/skills/ipollowork-template-generation/scripts/audit-template.mjs <template-directory>
  1. Repair every error. Warnings must be resolved or deliberately accepted.
  2. Re-instantiate the staged package and verify that the correct right-side editor opens, variables remain editable, theme switching preserves structure, and the source project is unchanged.

Hard Boundary

This Skill is guidance for repository agents. Product runtime behavior does not depend on Skill discovery. Authoring System Context and the shared server validator provide the same category rules to every user.

Completion

Report the selected surface/category, files changed, reusable variables, design-system coverage, preserved surface invariants, validator result, re-instantiation result, and any remaining warning.
