SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Conference decks often look like generic AI-generated templates with default fonts, blue-purple gradients, and rainbow charts. This Skill art-directs the visual layer of a talk deck by choosing one distinctive typeface, building a meaning-mapped 60-30-10 palette, and enforcing accessibility checks, then writing the result as a style spec the deck builder consumes directly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Typography and palette selection: Picks one distinctive typeface (mapped to display, body, and mono font tokens) and a six-neutral-token palette plus two meaning-mapped accents, avoiding default fonts like Inter or Roboto. - Accessibility enforcement: Runs WCAG contrast checks (4.5:1 text, 3:1 large/graphical), colorblind-safe accent pairing (Okabe-Ito/ColorBrewer), and greyscale survival tests before locking the palette. - Layout-class token mapping and chart accents: Maps token roles onto each layout class chosen upstream and assigns the accent to each chart's named takeaway element. - Use Case: After structuring a 16-slide conference talk, ask the Skill to style the deck; it reads the content brief and structure spec, then writes 04-slides-style.md ending in a paste-ready accents.css token block and Google Fonts link for the deck builder. ## Quick Start Style my talk deck by picking the fonts and colors and writing the 04-slides-style.md spec with the accents.css tokens.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose fonts and colors for a conference talk deck?

Pick one distinctive typeface with at most one pairing, mapped to display, body, and mono font tokens, then build a 60-30-10 palette with two meaning-mapped accents. Run WCAG contrast, colorblind-safety, and greyscale checks before locking the choices.

What makes a slide deck look AI-generated?

Common tells include blue-to-purple gradients, the #1e1e2e background, reflex default fonts like Inter or Roboto, rainbow charts, and centered text blocks. The Skill's Gate C check flags these and requires re-styling when four or more tells appear.

How do I make slide colors accessible and colorblind-safe?

Ensure text contrast is at least 4.5:1 and large or graphical elements at least 3:1 against the background. Use an Okabe-Ito or ColorBrewer colorblind-safe accent pair such as blue plus orange, and verify the accents remain distinguishable in greyscale by lightness.

When should I not use the talk-slides-style skill?

Skip it when no structure spec exists yet, since token roles cannot map onto unchosen layout classes; route to the structure stage first. Also skip it when the talk intentionally uses no slides at all.

What does the style skill hand off to the deck builder?

It writes 04-slides-style.md containing the type and palette token maps, layout-class token roles, per-chart accent assignments, and a paste-ready accents.css block with a Google Fonts link. The deck builder consumes that token block verbatim.
