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
