Core Production Principles

• Always use together with the pptx skill for actual file generation
• Strictly follow each style's background, font, and layout specifications
• Every slide must contain at least one visual element (shape, icon, color block)
• Never use text-only slides — express design through color, form, and space
• Repeat each style's signature element consistently across all slides
• Match font pairing exactly as specified — typography drives 50% of the style impression
• Use exact HEX values from references/styles.md — approximate colors break the aesthetic
