SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the decision-making required to turn research and audience briefs into a concrete visual style for Slidev presentations, removing guesswork about archetype, token selection, and layout strategy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Archetype selection: Matches audience, scenario, and goal to a narrative archetype (e.g., technical-share, pitch-deck).
  • Token and layout strategy: Chooses a color/typography token set and preferred/avoided layout patterns and produces animation and accessibility guidance.
  • Validation integration: Outputs a style-plan.md and instructs running repository validation to ensure accessibility and animation constraints are met.
  • Use case: After a research phase for a Kubernetes technical talk, run this Skill to generate a style-plan.md that specifies the technical-share archetype, tech-minimal tokens, layout rules, and animation policy for the deck.

Quick Start

Run the ppt-design-director to generate an artifacts/style-plan.md from research-report.md and the design-system resources.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a visual style plan for a Slidev presentation?

To decide visual identity for Slidev presentations, evaluate research-report.md and audience briefs to select a narrative archetype, token set, and layout strategy. This produces a style-plan.md containing accessibility constraints and animation policies.

What is a Slidev presentation archetype and when do I need one?

A Slidev presentation archetype is a narrative framework like technical-share or pitch-deck matched to your audience and scenario. You need one when converting research reports into structured decks for technical shares, pitch meetings, executive briefings, or training workshops to guide visual identity decisions.

How do I choose layout patterns and design tokens for technical slides?

Choose layout patterns and design tokens for technical slides by matching your presentation goal to an archetype and selecting a corresponding color and typography token set. The process outputs preferred and avoided layout rules alongside animation guidance in a style-plan.md file.

Does this Slidev styling approach include accessibility validation?

Yes, this Slidev styling approach includes accessibility validation by outputting a style-plan.md with accessibility constraints and validation steps. It integrates directly with the repository's validate-style.js workflow to ensure your presentation deck meets the required accessibility and animation standards.

Can I use this to generate animation policies for pitch decks?

Yes, you can generate animation policies for pitch decks. By matching the pitch-deck archetype to your audience context, the system outputs specific animationPolicy fields within the style-plan.md artifact to control motion behavior across your presentation slides.

What is the best way to automate Slidev deck styling from a research report?

The best way to automate Slidev deck styling from a research report is to process research-report.md alongside audience briefs to extract narrative goals. This automatically determines the visual identity, token selection, and layout strategy, removing guesswork from the presentation pipeline.
