Design Guidelines

Detailed design principles for slide decks.

Audience Guidelines

Design decisions adapt to target audience. Use --audience to set.

Audience Content Density Visual Style Terminology Slides
beginners Low Friendly, illustrative Plain language 8-15
intermediate Medium Balanced, structured Some jargon OK 10-20
experts High Data-rich, precise Technical terms 12-25
executives Low-Medium Clean, impactful Business language 8-12
general Medium Accessible, engaging Minimal jargon 10-18

Audience → Density Mapping

Recommended density dimension based on audience:

Audience Recommended Density Rationale
executives minimal One insight per slide, respect time
beginners minimal → balanced Single concepts, build understanding
general balanced Accessible but informative
intermediate balanced Standard information density
experts balanced → dense Can handle more data per slide

Automatic Density Selection:

  • If --audience executives → default to minimal density
  • If --audience beginners → default to minimal or balanced
  • If --audience experts → allow dense density
  • Otherwise → default to balanced

Audience-Specific Principles

Beginners:

  • One concept per slide
  • Visual metaphors over abstract diagrams
  • Step-by-step progression
  • Generous whitespace

Experts:

  • Multiple data points per slide acceptable
  • Technical diagrams with precise labels
  • Assume domain knowledge
  • Dense but organized information

Executives:

  • Lead with insights, not data
  • "So what?" on every slide
  • Decision-enabling content
  • Bottom-line upfront (BLUF)

Visual Hierarchy Principles

Principle Description
Focal Point ONE dominant element per slide draws attention first
Rule of Thirds Position key elements at grid intersections
Z-Pattern Guide eye: top-left → top-right → bottom-left → bottom-right
Size Contrast Headlines 2-3x larger than body text
Breathing Room Minimum 10% margin from all edges

Content Density

See references/dimensions/density.md for full density dimension specs.

Level Description Use When
High Multiple data points, detailed charts, dense text Expert audience, technical reviews
Medium Key points with supporting details General business, mixed audiences
Low One main idea, large visuals, minimal text Beginners, keynotes, emotional impact

High-Density Principles (McKinsey-style):

  • Every element earns its space
  • Data speaks louder than decoration
  • Annotations explain insights, not describe data
  • White space is strategic, not filler

Density by Slide Type:

Slide Type Recommended Density
Cover/Title minimal
Agenda/Overview balanced
Content/Analysis balanced or dense
Data/Metrics dense
Quote/Impact minimal
Summary/Takeaway balanced

Color Selection

See references/dimensions/mood.md for full mood dimension specs.

Content-First Approach:

  1. Analyze content topic, mood, and industry
  2. Consider target audience expectations
  3. Match palette to subject matter
  4. Ensure strong contrast for readability

Quick Palette Guide:

Content Type Recommended Mood
Technical/Architecture cool
Educational/Friendly warm
Corporate/Professional professional
Creative/Artistic vibrant
Scientific/Medical cool or neutral
Entertainment/Gaming dark or vibrant

Typography Principles

See references/dimensions/typography.md for full typography dimension specs.

Element Treatment
Headlines Bold, 2-3x body size, narrative style
Body Text Regular weight, readable size
Captions Smaller, lighter weight
Data Labels Monospace for technical content
Emphasis Use bold or color, not underlines

Font Recommendations

English Fonts:

Font Style Best For
Liter Sans-serif, geometric Modern, clean, technical
HedvigLettersSans Sans-serif, distinctive Brand-forward, creative
Oranienbaum High-contrast serif Elegant, classical
SortsMillGoudy Classical serif Traditional, readable

Visual Elements Reference

See references/dimensions/texture.md for full texture dimension specs.

Background Treatments

Treatment Description Best For
Solid color Single background color Clean, minimal
Split background Two colors, diagonal or vertical Contrast, sections
Gradient Subtle vertical or diagonal fade Modern, dynamic
Textured Pattern or texture overlay Character, style

Typography Treatments

Treatment Description Best For
Size contrast 3-4x difference headline vs body Impact, hierarchy
All-caps headers Uppercase with letter spacing Authority, structure
Monospace data Fixed-width for numbers/code Technical, precision
Hand-drawn Organic, imperfect letterforms Friendly, approachable

Geometric Accents

Element Description Best For
Diagonal dividers Angled section separators Energy, movement
Corner brackets L-shaped frames Focus, framing
Circles/hexagons Shape frames for images Modern, tech
Underline accents Thick lines under headers Emphasis, hierarchy

Consistency Requirements

Element Guideline
Spacing Consistent margins and padding throughout
Colors Maximum 3-4 colors per slide, palette consistent across deck
Typography Same font families and sizes for same content types
Visual Language Repeat patterns, shapes, and treatments

Dimension Combination Guide

When combining dimensions, consider compatibility:

Audience Recommended Dimensions
Executives clean + neutral + geometric + minimal
Beginners organic + warm + humanist + minimal
General any texture + any mood + humanist/geometric + balanced
Experts grid/clean + cool + technical + balanced/dense
Content Type Recommended Dimensions
Tutorial organic + warm + handwritten + balanced
Technical grid + cool + technical + balanced
Business clean + professional + geometric + balanced
Creative organic + vibrant + humanist + balanced
Data-heavy clean + cool + technical + dense

What it does

Generates professional slide deck images from content outlines, creating individual slide images optimized for reading and sharing rather than live presentation. Assumes Postgres and uses drizzle-kit's pg dialect. Requires bun or npx; supports 17 style presets and custom dimension tuning (texture, mood, typography, density), with image generation routed through Codex, Cursor, or other available raster backends.

Generated from the current SKILL.md.

Frequently asked

Does this skill generate slides for live presentation or static sharing?
It generates slides optimized for reading and sharing (self-explanatory, logical scroll flow, social-media-friendly), not live presentation.
What image backends does this skill support?
It auto-detects and uses Codex `imagegen`, Cursor `GenerateImage`, or `baoyu-image-gen` depending on your runtime. You can also override with `--ref` or set a preferred backend in `EXTEND.md`.
What output formats are available?
The skill generates slide images by default and can merge them into PowerPoint (PPTX) or PDF via included scripts.
Can I customize the visual style of the slides?
Yes. Choose from 17 presets (blueprint, corporate, minimal, sketch-notes, etc.) or define custom dimensions for texture, mood, typography, and density. The skill confirms your choices before generation.
Does this skill require user confirmation before generating slides?
By default yes — confirmation happens before generation. You can skip it by explicitly requesting no confirmation (e.g., '直接生成') in your message.
