Marp HTML to PNG Skill
Overview
This skill helps create interactive HTML diagrams for Marp presentations and converts them to PNG screenshots using Playwright MCP. HTML files are created in application/marp/src/html/ and screenshots are saved to application/marp/src/assets/.
When to Use
- User needs to create visual diagrams for Marp slides
- User wants to convert HTML/CSS diagrams to static images
- User requests comparison charts, flowcharts, or interactive visualizations for presentations
- User needs to update existing HTML diagrams and regenerate screenshots
Workflow
Step 1: Create HTML Diagram
HTML files should be saved to application/marp/src/html/ with the following template structure:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="ja">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>図解タイトル</title>
<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
<script>
tailwind.config = {
theme: {
extend: {
fontFamily: {
'sans': ['"Hiragino Sans"', '"ヒラギノ角ゴシック"', '"Yu Gothic"', '"游ゴシック"', '"Noto Sans JP"', 'sans-serif']
}
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body class="bg-gradient-to-br from-gray-900 via-blue-900 to-purple-900 min-h-screen flex items-center justify-center font-sans overflow-hidden">
<!-- Diagram content -->
</body>
</html>
Naming Convention: Use snake_case for HTML files (e.g., fullscreen_comparison.html, pdca_cycle.html)
Step 2: Open HTML File in Browser
Use Playwright MCP to navigate to the local HTML file:
file:///home/node/workspace/application/marp/src/html/[filename].html
Browser Resize (IMPORTANT - Follow Marp Image Size Guideline):
- Default: Width: 1100px, Height: 550px (Safe area size - recommended)
- Alternative: Width: 1216px, Height: 582px (Full content area)
- Reference:
docs/spec/marp/image-size-guideline.md
Step 3: Take Screenshot
Use the mcp__playwright__browser_take_screenshot tool with:
filename:application/marp/src/assets/[diagram-name].pngtype:png- IMPORTANT: After taking screenshot, ALWAYS move from
.playwright-mcp/application/marp/src/assets/toapplication/marp/src/assets/using:mv /home/node/workspace/.playwright-mcp/application/marp/src/assets/[diagram-name].png /home/node/workspace/application/marp/src/assets/[diagram-name].png
Step 4: Use in Marp Slides
Reference the screenshot in Marp markdown:

Design Guidelines
Recommended Sizes (Follow Marp Image Size Guideline)
IMPORTANT: All HTML diagrams should be designed to fit within Marp's safe area size.
Recommended (Default): 1100px × 550px (Safe area size)
- Use this for most diagrams
- Set HTML
bodyto:width: 1100px; height: 550px; - Browser viewport:
1100px × 550px
Full Content Area: 1216px × 582px
- Use only when you need maximum space
- Set HTML
bodyto:width: 1216px; height: 582px; - Browser viewport:
1216px × 582px
Reference:
docs/spec/marp/image-size-guideline.md

User Request Templates
Template 1: Create HTML Diagram
Create an HTML diagram for a Marp slide.
**Content**:
- Title: [Title]
- Elements:
- [Element 1]
- [Element 2]
- [Element 3]
**Design**:
- Layout: [2-column / centered / grid]
- Background: [light / dark gradient]
- Color scheme: [success=green / warning=red]
**Reference**: @application/marp/src/html/fullscreen_comparison.html
**Save to**: application/marp/src/html/[filename].html
Template 2: Take Screenshot
Open the HTML diagram and take a screenshot:
**HTML File**:
file:///home/node/workspace/application/marp/src/html/[filename].html
**Browser Size** (Follow Marp Image Size Guideline):
- Width: 1100px
- Height: 550px
**Screenshot Options**:
- Save to: application/marp/src/assets/[diagram-name].png
- Type: PNG
**Post-Screenshot**:
Move file from Playwright MCP directory to assets directory:
```bash
mv /home/node/workspace/.playwright-mcp/application/marp/src/assets/[diagram-name].png /home/node/workspace/application/marp/src/assets/[diagram-name].png
## Troubleshooting
### Issue 1: HTML File Not Displaying
**Cause**: Incorrect file path
**Solution**:
- Use `file://` protocol
- Absolute path: `/home/node/workspace/application/marp/src/html/[filename].html`
### Issue 2: Screenshot Size Not Matching Guidelines
**Cause**: Browser viewport not following Marp image size guideline
**Solution**:
- Use `mcp__playwright__browser_resize` tool
- **Default**: width=1100, height=550 (Safe area size - recommended)
- Alternative: width=1216, height=582 (Full content area)
- Reference: `docs/spec/marp/image-size-guideline.md`
### Issue 3: Fonts Not Rendering
**Cause**: Japanese fonts not loaded
**Solution**:
- Ensure Tailwind config includes font family (see template)
- Use system fonts: Hiragino Sans, Yu Gothic
### Issue 4: Colors Not Matching
**Cause**: Incorrect Tailwind class names
**Solution**:
- Check Tailwind docs for correct color classes
- Use prefixes: `bg-`, `text-`, `border-`
## Best Practices
1. **Follow Size Guidelines**: Always use 1100px × 550px (default) or 1216px × 582px (full area)
2. **Keep It Simple**: One diagram = one concept
3. **Reusability**: Template similar layouts
4. **Accessibility**: Ensure sufficient contrast (minimum 4.5:1)
5. **Performance**: Use emojis instead of external images
6. **Consistency**: Follow existing HTML diagram patterns
7. **Move to Correct Location**: Always move (not copy) screenshot from `.playwright-mcp/` to `application/marp/src/assets/` to keep directories clean
## Permissions Required
This skill requires Playwright MCP to be configured in `.mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"playwright": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@playwright/mcp@latest", "--headless", "--isolated"]
}
}
}
