Layout & typography
How agent-authored slides stay visually coherent.
The slide-authoring skill ships an opinionated baseline so an agent doesn't
have to reinvent the look of every deck. You can override any of it.
Type scale
A 1920×1080 stage pairs well with bigger type than the web is used to. The scale below is a reasonable default — adjust per deck.
| Role | Size (px) |
|---|---|
| Display | 188 |
| H1 | 128 |
| H2 | 84 |
| Body | 28 – 36 |
| Caption / mono | 14 – 18 |
Letter-spacing should tighten as size grows (-0.04em on display, around
-0.011em on body).
Palette
A two-tone neutral plus an accent goes a long way. The default dark tokens:
const palette = {
ink: '#0a0a0c',
panel: '#111114',
text: '#f6f5f0',
textSoft: '#c9c7bd',
muted: '#7f7e78',
accent: '#7170ff',
};For a recipe-driven design system, write a theme — see Themes.
Layout patterns
- Hero. One eyebrow, one headline, one supporting line, optional CTA.
- Two-column. 60/40 split. Left for prose, right for visual artefact.
- Index. A list of entries with monospace numbering.
- Quote. Big italic display, attribution in mono.
The agent applies these unless you tell it otherwise.
