Core Production Principles

  • Always use together with the pptx skill for actual file generation
  • Strictly follow each style's background, font, and layout specifications
  • Every slide must contain at least one visual element (shape, icon, color block)
  • Never use text-only slides — express design through color, form, and space
  • Repeat each style's signature element consistently across all slides
  • Match font pairing exactly as specified — typography drives 50% of the style impression
  • Use exact HEX values from references/styles.md — approximate colors break the aesthetic
