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
