> **Distinct from `product-team/skills/landing-page-generator/`.** That skill outputs Next.js TSX components optimized for conversion / lead-gen. THIS skill outputs a single self-contained `.html` file optimized for premium visual experience with GSAP animations. Pick by use case.

Generate a polished, self-contained `.html` landing page from a text prompt or brief. The output is ONE HTML file: all CSS inline in `<style>`, all JS inline in `<script>`, only external dependencies being Google Fonts + GSAP via CDN. The page is visually distinctive, animated, and production-quality.

## Invocation Triggers

- "create a landing page"
- "build a landing page"
- "make a landing page for X"
- "I need a web page for Y"
- "promotional page"
- "product page"
- "one-pager"
- "web presence"
- "sales page"
- "landing for X"

## Delivery Mode

In **Claude Code CLI**, write the file to disk at the specified path. In **Claude.ai web**, create an HTML artifact with the same content.

## Phase 0: Grill-Me Intake (4 forcing questions, one at a time)

Dependency-ordered. Each question carries explicit "why I'm asking". Stop condition: max 4.

### Q1 (root) — Product / Service

> **What's the product or service? Give me the name + a 1–2 sentence elevator pitch — what does it do, and who's it for?**
>
> *Why I'm asking:* The headline, subtext, and feature copy all derive from this. "App for productivity" produces generic boilerplate; "Async standup tool for remote engineering teams who hate Zoom" produces a landing page that converts.

**Refuse mush.** If user gives just a name with no pitch, push back once: "What does it do? Who's it for?" If still no pitch after push-back, deliver with explicit "generic positioning" caveat.

### Q2 (depends on Q1) — Audience Register

> **Who's the audience? Pick one:**
>
> 1. **Technical buyers** (engineers, ops, security)
> 2. **Business buyers** (PMs, execs, ops leaders)
> 3. **Consumers** (general public, hobbyists)
> 4. **Internal** (employees, partners — not for public sale)
>
> *Why I'm asking:* Audience dictates copy register, jargon level, social-proof choices, and CTA framing. Technical buyers want specifics; consumers want benefits; internal pages can skip persuasion.

Forcing choice.

### Q3 (always) — Brand Overrides

> **Brand colors / fonts to override the default (dark navy + teal + Inter)? Provide as: primary HEX, accent HEX, optional bg HEX. Or say "default" if you want the polished default.**
>
> *Why I'm asking:* The default is intentionally beautiful, but matching your brand makes the page feel native to your existing site. Even just a primary color override goes a long way.

Accept "default" or partial overrides (e.g., just primary). If only primary provided, derive accent algorithmically (lighten / darken).

### Q4 (depends on Q1) — Tone

> **Tone — pick one:**
>
> 1. **Professional** — confident, restrained, B2B-friendly
> 2. **Playful** — warm, light, occasional humor
> 3. **Authoritative** — expert, data-forward, trust-building
> 4. **Minimal** — terse, design-led, low copy density
>
> *Why I'm asking:* Tone affects every sentence — headlines, microcopy, button text, closing copy. Picking upfront prevents tonal whiplash across sections.

Forcing choice. **Recommended default:** professional if Q2 = technical/business; playful if Q2 = consumer; minimal if the product is design-led.

**Stop condition:** After Q4, commit and generate. No follow-up questions during generation.

## Content Extraction (with Fallback Strategy)

From Q1's elevator pitch, derive:
- **Hero headline** — punchy version of "what it does" (8–12 words)
- **Hero subtext** — version of "who it's for + payoff" (1–2 sentences)
- **3–6 feature bullets** — distilled from pitch + audience (Q2) + tone (Q4)
- **CTA text** — action-oriented, matches tone
- **Closing copy** — short, emotive, matches tone

**Fallback when input is sparse:** invent compelling content from product-name semantics + audience register. Flag inferred content with a comment in the HTML source (`<!-- inferred: ... -->`). Don't stall waiting for more input.

## Brand System Specification

### Default Color Palette (Dark Navy + Teal)

```css
:root {
  --navy:       #0A1628;
  --navy-mid:   #0D1F38;
  --teal:       #00D4AA;
  --teal-glow:  rgba(0, 212, 170, 0.12);
  --amber:      #F5A623;
  --off-white:  #F7F7F2;
  --text-muted: rgba(247, 247, 242, 0.68);
  --card-bg:    rgba(0, 212, 170, 0.06);
  --card-border:rgba(0, 212, 170, 0.15);
}
```

### Override Pattern

When Q3 provides custom brand values, the skill substitutes them into the `:root` block:

```
Brand override:
- primary: #FF6B35    →  --navy / hero bg
- accent:  #2EC4B6    →  --teal / CTA / highlights
- bg:      #011627    →  --navy-mid / section bg
- text:    #FDFFFC    →  --off-white
```

If only primary provided, derive accent algorithmically (lighten 15% for accent; darken 8% for navy-mid; convert to rgba at 0.12 alpha for glow). Use `scripts/brand_palette_validator.py` for the deterministic derivation.

See [`references/brand_system_design.md`](https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/tree/main/marketing/landing/skills/landing/references/brand_system_design.md) for color theory + WCAG + algorithmic palette derivation canon.

### Typography

- **Font family:** Inter (via Google Fonts)
- **Weight scale:** 400 (body), 500 (eyebrow), 600 (links), 700 (subtitle), 800 (H1 + H2)
- **Size scale:**
  - Hero H1: 68–82px
  - Section H2: 52–62px
  - Card titles: 22px
  - Body: 17–19px
  - Eyebrow: 13px (uppercase, letter-spaced)
  - CTA button: 18px (500 weight)

### Components (Must Specify CSS)

- `.btn-primary` — CTA button with hover state (lift + brightness)
- `.feature-card` — card with hover lift (translateY(-6px) + border-brighten)
- `.eyebrow` — letter-spaced (0.2em) uppercase category label

## Section 1: Hero

- `min-height: 100vh`, flex-centered content
- Optional eyebrow label above H1
- H1 (68–82px, 800 weight)
- Subtitle (17–19px, 1–2 sentences)
- CTA button (.btn-primary)
- Scroll-down indicator (animated chevron, CSS bounce)
- **Depth layers** (mouse parallax):
  - `.hero-shapes-back` — large blurred circles, absolute-positioned, low opacity
  - `.hero-shapes-mid` — smaller shapes, sharper edges, higher opacity
  - Content layer (H1 + subtitle) — moves subtly in same direction as mouse

## Section 2: Features

- 3 columns default (`repeat(3, 1fr)` grid)
- Responsive:
  - 2 columns at 900px breakpoint
  - 1 column at 580px breakpoint
- Each card:
  - SVG icon (28px, stroke=var(--teal), no fill)
  - Title (22px, 700 weight)
  - Description (15–16px, --text-muted)
- Hover state:
  - `transform: translateY(-6px)`
  - `border-color: var(--teal)` (brighten from --card-border)
  - `transition: 0.3s ease`

## Section 3: Closing CTA

- Full-width, `background: var(--navy-mid)`
- `padding: 120px 24px`, text-align: center
- Large closing headline (52–62px, 800 weight)
- Short subtext (--text-muted, 1–2 sentences)
- CTA button with ambient radial-gradient glow behind it:
  ```css
  background: radial-gradient(circle, var(--teal-glow) 0%, transparent 70%);
  ```

## Animation Patterns

See [`references/gsap_animation_patterns.md`](https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/tree/main/marketing/landing/skills/landing/references/gsap_animation_patterns.md) for the canon. Five patterns required:

### 1. Hero Entrance (GSAP timeline)

```js
// MUST use gsap.set() FIRST to prevent FOUC
gsap.set([".eyebrow", ".hero h1", ".hero .subtitle", ".btn-primary", ".scroll-down"], {
  opacity: 0,
  y: 30
});

const tl = gsap.timeline({ defaults: { ease: "power3.out" } });
tl.to(".eyebrow", { opacity: 1, y: 0, duration: 0.6 })
  .to(".hero h1", { opacity: 1, y: 0, duration: 0.8 }, "-=0.3")
  .to(".hero .subtitle", { opacity: 1, y: 0, duration: 0.6 }, "-=0.5")
  .to(".btn-primary", { opacity: 1, y: 0, duration: 0.5 }, "-=0.3")
  .to(".scroll-down", { opacity: 1, y: 0, duration: 0.4 }, "-=0.2");
```

### 2. Mouse Parallax

```js
const hero = document.querySelector(".hero");
hero.addEventListener("mousemove", (e) => {
  const x = (e.clientX / window.innerWidth - 0.5) * 2;
  const y = (e.clientY / window.innerHeight - 0.5) * 2;
  gsap.to(".hero-shapes-back", { x: x * 45, y: y * 22, duration: 0.8 });
  gsap.to(".hero-shapes-mid",  { x: x * 22, y: y * 11, duration: 0.8 });
  gsap.to(".hero .container",  { x: x * 8,  y: y * 5,  duration: 0.8 });
});
```

### 3. Scroll-Triggered Feature Cards

```js
gsap.set(".feature-card", { opacity: 0, y: 55, rotateX: 18 });

ScrollTrigger.batch(".feature-card", {
  start: "top 80%",
  onEnter: batch => gsap.to(batch, {
    opacity: 1, y: 0, rotateX: 0,
    duration: 0.8,
    stagger: 0.11,
    ease: "power2.out"
  })
});
```

### 4. Floating Decorative Shapes (CSS keyframes — NOT GSAP)

CSS handles ambient continuous motion (smoother, cheaper than GSAP for indefinite animations):

```css
@keyframes floatA {
  0%, 100% { transform: translate(0, 0) rotate(0deg); }
  50%      { transform: translate(20px, -30px) rotate(8deg); }
}
@keyframes floatB { /* different duration + rotation */ }
@keyframes floatC { /* different duration + rotation */ }

.hero-shapes-back .shape-a { animation: floatA 12s ease-in-out infinite; }
```

### 5. Scroll Indicator (CSS bounce)

```css
@keyframes bounce {
  0%, 100% { transform: translateY(0); }
  50%      { transform: translateY(8px); }
}
.scroll-down { animation: bounce 2s ease-in-out infinite; }
```

## Required CDN Dependencies

```html
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700;800&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/3.12.2/gsap.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/3.12.2/ScrollTrigger.min.js"></script>
```

NO other external CSS or JS files. All custom CSS in `<style>`, all custom JS in `<script>` blocks within the same HTML file.

See [`references/single_file_html_discipline.md`](https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/tree/main/marketing/landing/skills/landing/references/single_file_html_discipline.md) for the inline-only rationale.

## Layout Rules

- **Container max-width:** 1200px, centered
- **Section padding:** `120px 24px` (vertical 120, horizontal 24, scales down on mobile)
- **Responsive breakpoints:**
  - 900px → features grid 3-col → 2-col
  - 580px → all grids → 1-col; H1 scales down to ~52px
- **Viewport meta:** `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">`

## Output Spec

- **Path:** `${OUTPUT_DIR}/<product-name-kebab>.html`
- **Default `${OUTPUT_DIR}`:** `./landing-pages/`
- **Filename:** lowercase kebab-case from product name ("Quill AI" → `quill-ai.html`). Use `scripts/kebab_slug_generator.py` for deterministic slug generation + duplicate detection.
- **Self-contained:** all CSS in `<style>`, all JS in `<script>`, only Google Fonts + GSAP CDN external.

## Validation (Post-Generation)

Run `scripts/html_validator.py --file ${OUTPUT_DIR}/<slug>.html` after generation. Checks:

- All 3 required sections present (`.hero`, `.features`, `.closing-cta`)
- CDN deps present (Inter + GSAP + ScrollTrigger)
- `gsap.set()` initial states precede any `gsap.timeline` or `gsap.to` (FOUC prevention)
- Responsive breakpoints at 900px + 580px
- No external `<link rel="stylesheet">` other than Google Fonts
- No external `<script src=>` other than GSAP CDN
- `<meta name="viewport">` present
- All animated elements have initial-state declarations

## Error Handling

| Situation | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Input is just a name with no context | Invent compelling content from name semantics + audience register; flag as `<!-- inferred -->` in HTML source |
| Input file is large or PDF | Read fully before generating; don't truncate |
| Brand colors insufficient (only 1 HEX provided) | Use as primary; derive secondary/accent algorithmically (lighten/darken via brand_palette_validator.py) |
| Features count not specified | Default to 4 |
| Output dir doesn't exist | Create it |
| Existing file at output path | Append timestamp suffix or ask user (kebab_slug_generator.py flags duplicates) |
| html_validator returns FAIL | Regenerate ONLY the failing sections in one targeted pass; do NOT abandon the file |

## Portability

- **Claude Code CLI:** Native — writes HTML file directly to filesystem.
- **Claude.ai web:** Native — produces HTML as an artifact instead of file.

## Tooling

| Script | Role |
|---|---|
| `scripts/brand_palette_validator.py` | Validates HEX format, checks WCAG AA contrast, generates derived palette from primary (algorithmic lighten/darken). |
| `scripts/kebab_slug_generator.py` | Product name → kebab-case filename + duplicate detection in output dir. |
| `scripts/html_validator.py` | Post-generation structural check: 3 sections, CDN deps, gsap.set() initial states, responsive breakpoints, no external files. |

## Anti-Patterns To Reject

- Hardcoded absolute paths in output directory
- Single brand palette without override documentation
- Outlining before writing — write in one pass
- External CSS or JS files (must be inline; only Google Fonts + GSAP CDN allowed)
- Skipping `gsap.set()` initial states (causes FOUC)
- More than 6 features in default grid (becomes unscannable)
- Brand-specific content references in the skill itself
