Building STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS from Dimensions

When using custom dimensions or presets, build STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS by combining:

1. Design Aesthetic

Combine characteristics from all four dimensions into 2-3 sentences:

2. Background

From references/dimensions/texture.md:

• Texture description
• Base color from mood palette

3. Typography

From references/dimensions/typography.md:

• Headline visual description (NOT font names)
• Body text visual description (NOT font names)

Important: Describe appearance for image generation: "bold geometric sans-serif with perfect circular O shapes" NOT "Inter font".

4. Color Palette

From references/dimensions/mood.md:

• Copy the palette specifications for the selected mood
• Include hex codes and usage notes

5. Visual Elements

Combine texture and mood characteristics:

6. Density Guidelines

From references/dimensions/density.md:

• Content per slide limits
• Whitespace requirements
• Element count guidelines

7. Style Rules

Combine dimension-specific rules:

Do rules by texture:

• clean: Maintain sharp edges, use grid alignment
• grid: Show precise measurements, use technical diagrams
• organic: Allow imperfection, layer with subtle overlaps
• pixel: Keep aliased edges, use chunky elements
• paper: Add subtle aging effects, use warm tones

Don't rules by texture:

• clean: Don't use hand-drawn elements
• grid: Don't use organic curves
• organic: Don't use perfect geometry
• pixel: Don't smooth edges
• paper: Don't use bright digital colors

STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS Block

The <STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS> block is the SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH for style information in this outline.

Important:

• Typography descriptions must describe visual appearance (e.g., "rounded sans-serif", "bold geometric") since image generators cannot use font names
• Prompts should extract STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS from this outline, NOT re-read style files

Preset → Dimensions Reference

When using a preset, look up dimensions in references/dimensions/presets.md:

Section Dividers

Use --- (horizontal rule) between:

• Header metadata and STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS
• STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS and first slide
• Each slide entry

Slide Numbering

• Cover is always Slide 1
• Content slides use sequential numbers
• Back Cover is always final slide (N)
• Filename prefix matches slide position: 01-, 02-, etc.

Filename Slugs

Generate meaningful slugs from slide content:

Slug rules:

• Kebab-case (lowercase, hyphens)
• Derived from headline or main topic
• Maximum 30 characters
• Unique within deck
