Product Showcase Generator
Generate a marketing website that shows off a running web app. Unlike the landing-page skill (which works from a brief), this skill explores the actual app via browser automation, captures real screenshots, discovers features, and builds a showcase page from what the product actually does.
How It Differs from landing-page
landing-page
product-showcase
Works from a text brief Works from a running app
Placeholder images Real screenshots from the app
User describes features Features discovered by browsing
No browser automation Requires browser automation
Generic marketing structure Structured around app's actual workflows
Browser Tool Detection
Before starting, detect available browser tools:
-
Chrome MCP (mcp__claude-in-chrome__* ) — preferred for authenticated apps
-
Playwright MCP (mcp__plugin_playwright_playwright__* ) — for public apps
-
playwright-cli — for scripted flows
Workflow
- Gather Input
Field Required Example
App URL Yes https://app.example.com or http://localhost:5173
App name Yes "Acme CRM"
Tagline No "The CRM that gets out of your way"
Target audience No "Small business owners"
Pricing info No Free tier, $29/mo pro
CTA text + URL No "Start Free Trial" → signup page
Testimonials No User provides or skip section
- Explore the App
Navigate the app and capture the story:
a. First Impression
-
Load the app's main page/dashboard
-
Screenshot at 1280x720 — this becomes the hero image
-
Note the immediate value proposition (what does the user see first?)
b. Discover Features
Navigate through each major section:
-
Click every nav item, tab, and major UI element
-
For each feature area, take a clean screenshot showing it in action
-
Note what the user can DO (actions, not just views)
-
Capture 6-10 key screens that tell the product story
c. Identify the "How It Works" Flow
Find the main workflow (the thing a user does most):
-
Screenshot 3-4 steps in sequence
-
These become the "How It Works" section
-
Example: "1. Add a contact → 2. Set up a pipeline → 3. Track your deals → 4. See your dashboard"
d. Capture Detail Shots
For the feature grid, capture focused screenshots:
-
Zoom into specific UI elements that showcase polish
-
Dark mode version if available (shows design quality)
-
Mobile view if the app is responsive
- Generate the Showcase
Produce a single HTML file with Tailwind CDN (same pattern as landing-page ):
Sections
Hero
-
App name + tagline
-
Primary screenshot in a browser-frame mockup
-
Primary CTA button
-
Optional: secondary CTA ("Watch Demo", "View Pricing")
How It Works
-
3-4 steps with screenshots
-
Numbered or arrowed flow
-
Brief description under each step
-
Shows the main user journey
Feature Grid
-
4-6 features in a responsive grid
-
Each: screenshot + heading + 1-2 sentence description
-
Screenshots in browser-frame mockups (smaller than hero)
-
Features extracted from actual app exploration
Social Proof (if testimonials provided)
-
2-3 testimonial cards
-
Or skip this section entirely if no testimonials
Pricing (if provided)
-
2-3 tier cards
-
Or skip if not provided
CTA Banner
-
Full-width call-to-action
-
Repeat the primary CTA
-
Urgency or benefit statement
Footer
- App name, links, legal placeholders
- Screenshot Presentation
Screenshots are shown in browser-frame mockups using CSS:
.browser-frame { border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 25px 50px -12px rgba(0,0,0,0.25); overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1); } .browser-frame-bar { background: #f1f5f9; padding: 8px 12px; display: flex; gap: 6px; } .browser-frame-dot { width: 10px; height: 10px; border-radius: 50%; background: #e2e8f0; }
This gives screenshots a polished "app in a browser" look without needing to edit the images.
- Output
Save to a showcase/ directory:
showcase/ ├── index.html # The showcase page └── screenshots/ # All captured screenshots ├── hero.png ├── step-1.png ├── step-2.png ├── step-3.png ├── feature-contacts.png ├── feature-reports.png └── ...
The HTML references screenshots with relative paths (screenshots/hero.png ).
After generating, tell the user:
-
Preview: open showcase/index.html or python3 -m http.server -d showcase
-
Deploy: drag the showcase/ folder to Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or any static host
-
List any placeholder content that needs replacing
Design Patterns
Colour: If the app has a clear brand colour, extract it and use it as the primary. Otherwise default to a neutral palette (slate/blue).
Typography: System font stack (no external requests). Same approach as landing-page .
Responsive: Mobile-first, screenshots scale down gracefully. On mobile, screenshots stack vertically instead of grid.
Dark mode: Three-state toggle (light/dark/system) with CSS custom properties.
Performance: Lazy-load screenshot images. Tailwind CDN for styling. No build step.
Quality Rules
-
Only screenshot real features — don't fabricate capabilities the app doesn't have
-
Choose the best screenshots — not every page is showcase-worthy. Pick the ones that tell the product story.
-
Write benefit-focused copy — "See all your contacts in one place" not "Contact list page"
-
Browser frames on screenshots — always wrap in the CSS mockup for professional appearance
-
Consistent screenshot size — all at 1280x720 for the captures, CSS handles display sizing
-
No fake testimonials — leave the section out if none provided
-
No invented statistics — leave stats blocks empty if no real data
