Rambling
- So put ogehte ar poster for the first time with claude code as the main ‘worker’ me doing the tweakinga nd desiinigng
- ran into a few friciton pitns, what tech and tools sohuld claude code do ebcuase powerpowint is high friction?
- this is a log of what i did jsut to remeembr
- then also some ideas to try for next time
Understanding
- This workflow for the UHC weekly forum in Sep 2026
- Step 1: Gather context
- gather requirements docs (PRD) and usptream context (e.g. Posit conf notes, posti conf persentation)
- Step 2: Design Layout
- desing the rough layout in temrinal with CC
- iterating on terminal printed ascii layout
- Step 3: Build poster
- PPT is the most fluid slides format; we will work wiht that as the canvas
- Agents cannot interact with PPT but scripts can
- We ahve hte laoyu and the content so the agent will write a script to build the PPT
- We can iterate by lookat hte PPT and iterating wiht agent/script
- Step 4: Share/Collaborate
- This PPT is then uplaoded to google sheets where it is not online and can be collarbaoted on with the google GUI
- Liek traiditoanl editing
Ideas for future
- Try Figma?
- so CC’s Figma connector is working great. maybe instead agent/script to PPT
- do agent/connector to Figma
- But now the questions is how to get Figma into Google Sheets
- Maybe just iterat with Figma
- Then finalize the slides in dev cycle then move to sirpt/PPT -> Google Slides
