SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Generated documents often look generic: default fonts, walls of bullets, rainbow charts, and repeated identical sections. This Skill provides design rules so reports, proposals, decks, and briefs read as deliberately designed rather than machine-produced. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Typography and colour law: Enforces three-role font pairing, real size contrast, 60-75 character line lengths, and a one-accent colour budget for .docx, .pptx, .pdf, and Markdown deliverables. - Structure and prose discipline: Requires numbered sections, running heads, executive summaries, prose over bullet soup, and tables with no vertical rules or zebra striping. - Pre-delivery checklist: Runs squint, line-length, accent, bullet, and greyscale audits before shipping. - Use Case: When generating a quarterly business review deck, apply these rules so each slide states its takeaway as the title, uses one accent colour, and avoids clip-art and bullet overload. ## Quick Start Apply the document-design rules to format this quarterly report as a polished PDF deliverable.

Frequently Asked Questions about document-design

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI-generated documents look professionally designed?

Apply typographic discipline: pair a display serif with a humanist sans body and a mono label font, use decisive size contrast, keep body text at 60-75 characters per line, and limit colour to one neutral base plus one accent used sparingly.

What fonts should I use instead of Calibri or Arial in reports?

Use pairings like Playfair Display with Source Sans 3 for editorial documents, Libre Franklin with Source Serif 4 for corporate work, or the IBM Plex family for technical content. If only system fonts exist, Georgia with Verdana still beats Calibri.

How should slides be designed differently from documents?

Decks follow one idea per slide, with the title stating the takeaway rather than the topic. Keep six words per line and six lines maximum, avoid transitions and animations, and commit to one dark or light theme across all slides.

When should I use a table instead of bullet points?

Use a table whenever content has two dimensions, such as comparisons, options, specs, or timelines. Bullets are only for genuinely parallel scannable items, capped at five or six, and never for arguments, which belong in prose.

Does this design guidance work with docx, pptx, and pdf generation tools?

Yes, it is designed to run alongside docx, pptx, and pdf tooling. Those tools handle the file format mechanics while this Skill decides how the output should look, covering typography, colour, structure, and imagery rules.
