# Math Tasks Generator

Printable math worksheet generator (A4 PDF) for children aged 7–9. Claude Code-driven workflow: user describes a task idea → Claude generates JSON config → creates HTML pages with Tailwind CSS → converts to PDF via Puppeteer.

**No template engine.** Claude Code generates fresh HTML pages directly from JSON task configs each time.

## Commands

```bash
npm run build:css          # Build Tailwind CSS (minified)
npm run build:css:watch    # Watch mode for CSS
npm run preview            # Serve HTML at localhost:3000
npm run dev                # CSS watch + preview server (concurrent)
npm run pdf -- <file>      # Convert HTML file to PDF
```

Generate problems from a task config:
```bash
node src/scripts/generate-problems.mjs tasks/<task>.json
```

Generate images via Banatie API:
```bash
node src/scripts/banatie.mjs --type background --prompt "forest theme" --output assets/backgrounds/forest.png
node src/scripts/banatie.mjs --type icon --prompt "golden star" --output assets/icons/stars/star1.png
```

## JSON Task Format

Each task is a JSON file in `tasks/` with this structure:

```json
{
  "id": "multiply-2-3",
  "title": "Умножение на 2 и 3",
  "description": "Worksheet for practicing multiplication by 2 and 3",
  "template": "{a} × {b} = ___",
  "variables": {
    "a": { "type": "range", "min": 1, "max": 10 },
    "b": { "type": "set", "values": [2, 3] }
  },
  "problemCount": 20,
  "layout": {
    "columns": 2,
    "problemsPerPage": 20
  },
  "labels": {
    "title": "Умножение",
    "subtitle": "Реши примеры",
    "name": "Имя: _______________",
    "date": "Дата: _______________"
  },
  "theme": {
    "background": "assets/backgrounds/forest.png",
    "icons": "assets/icons/stars/",
    "iconReward": 1
  }
}
```

### Fields

- **template** — problem template with `{variable}` placeholders
- **variables** — each variable is either `range` (min/max) or `set` (explicit values)
- **problemCount** — how many problems to generate
- **layout.columns** — 1 or 2 column layout
- **layout.problemsPerPage** — max problems per A4 page
- **labels** — all visible text (no hardcoded language)
- **theme.background** — path to background image
- **theme.icons** — path to icon directory (for collectible rewards)
- **theme.iconReward** — show an icon every N problems solved

## Space Base Template

Reference example: `src/templates/space-base.html`

This is the base visual design for all space-themed worksheets. When generating a new worksheet, use this file as the source of truth for layout, styling, and structure. **Read it first**, then produce a new HTML with these variations:

### What to vary per worksheet

1. **Hero image** — pick one from `assets/hero-images/spaceship{1-6}.jpeg`
2. **Footer image** — pick one from `assets/footers/planet{1-6}.jpeg`
3. **Hero position** — set CSS variable `--hero-direction: row` (hero left) or `row-reverse` (hero right)
4. **Problem icons** — randomly pick from `assets/icons/pack1/` (minerals and plants, any variant `{name}-{row}-{col}.png`)
5. **Problem alignment** — for each problem card, randomly assign `justify-start`, `justify-center`, or `justify-end` within its grid column. No repeating patterns — should look chaotic/scattered
6. **Title, subtitle, footer text** — set from the task description
7. **Problems** — generate from the task config (template like `{a} × {b} + {c}`, variable ranges/sets, etc.)

### Layout structure (do not change)

- Page: `w-[210mm] h-[297mm]` white container
- Footer: absolute bottom, `h-[80mm]`, with white-to-transparent fade on top
- Footer bubble: absolute `bottom-[12mm]`, pill-shaped with semi-transparent white bg
- Content area: `px-[12mm] pt-[8mm] pb-[65mm]` flex column
- Header: hero image `w-[48%]` + title block centered
- Problems: `grid grid-cols-2 gap-x-3 gap-y-[8px]` — 20 problems total
- Each problem: pill card with 44px icon + `text-[1.2rem]` expression + `w-16` answer underline
- Font: Nunito via Google Fonts
- Uses Tailwind CDN (`<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com">`)

### Color palette (do not change)

| Element | Hex |
|---------|-----|
| Title text | `text-indigo-950` (#1e1b4b) |
| Subtitle | `text-indigo-400` (#6366f1) |
| Card border | `border-indigo-100` (#e0e7ff) |
| Answer underline | `border-indigo-300` (#a5b4fc) |
| Card bg gradient | `from-white to-indigo-50/40` |
| Footer bubble border | `border-indigo-200` |

## HTML Generation Guidelines

When generating HTML worksheets:

- **Always read** `src/templates/space-base.html` first and use it as the structural reference
- **Page size:** A4 = 210mm × 297mm
- **CSS:** Uses Tailwind CDN in the HTML `<script>` tag (not the compiled CSS file)
- **Page breaks:** Use `break-after: page` between pages
- **Icons:** 44×44px inline images from `assets/icons/pack1/` next to each problem
- **Fonts:** Nunito from Google Fonts via `<link>`
- **Images in PDF:** Use local file paths (not URLs). Puppeteer resolves `file://` protocol
- **Embed images** as base64 data URIs when possible for reliable PDF rendering

## Banatie API

REST API for generating images.

- **Backgrounds:** ~1200×1700px, themed illustrations (forest, space, ocean, etc.)
- **Icons:** 128×128px, transparent PNG, simple collectible items (stars, gems, animals)

Configuration is in `src/scripts/banatie.mjs`. Set the `BANATIE_API_KEY` environment variable for authentication.

## PDF Generation

Puppeteer settings for A4 worksheets:
- Format: A4
- `printBackground: true` (required for background images)
- Margins: zero (CSS handles margins)
- `preferCSSPageSize: true`

## Workflow

1. User describes the math task idea to Claude
2. Claude creates/updates a JSON config in `tasks/`
3. Claude runs `node src/scripts/generate-problems.mjs tasks/<task>.json` to get concrete problems
4. Claude generates HTML file(s) in `output/html/` using the problems and Tailwind classes
5. Run `npm run build:css` to compile CSS
6. Run `npm run pdf -- output/html/<file>.html` to create PDF
7. Preview with `npm run preview` at localhost:3000
