About this capability

A type-and-color system for a culture magazine relaunch — the grid, the tri-tone palette, and the layout kit. Built as a decision-grade design craft deck for editorial & design team.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by nexu-io/open-design in design-templates/html-ppt-zhangzara-editorial-tri-tone/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Three-color editorial system: dusty pink, mustard cream, and deep burgundy, set in Bricolage + Instrument Serif.

A single self-contained HTML deck — typography, palette, decorative system, and slide vocabulary are all tuned together. Mixing layouts across templates breaks the system; stay inside this one.

At a glance

  • Scheme: mixed
  • Formality: medium-high
  • Density: medium
  • Slides in demo: 8

Best for

Anything that should feel like a fashion-magazine spread: editorial pitches, fashion brand decks, lifestyle media, art direction reviews. Equally good for any deck — including tech, research, or business — that wants tri-tone discipline and serif/sans contrast instead of the usual neutrals.

Avoid for

Decks that need to read as soft or comforting — the burgundy/pink/cream tri-tone is intentionally high-contrast and styled.

Workflow

  1. Clone example.html AND the assets/ folder into the user's workspace. This template ships an assets/deck-stage.js runtime (keyboard navigation, stage rendering); the HTML references it as assets/deck-stage.js, so the file must sit next to the cloned HTML or that path will 404 in the generated artifact and navigation will silently break. Inlining the JS into a single <script> block in the HTML is an acceptable alternative when a single self-contained file is preferred.
  2. Replace placeholder content with the user's real headlines, body copy, numbers, names, dates, and section labels. Match existing dimensions when swapping image placeholders.
  3. Preserve the design system. Never substitute fonts, recolor the palette, restructure the layout grid, or strip decorative elements (corner brackets, paper grain, geometric shapes, illustrated SVGs). They are part of the identity.
  4. Adjust deck length by duplicating layouts. If the user has more content than the demo holds, duplicate an existing slide of the most appropriate layout. If less, drop slides from the bottom. Update page-number labels.
  5. Designing missing layouts: if a slide needs a layout the template doesn't have, design it from scratch using the same fonts, palette, decorative vocabulary, spacing rhythm, and component grammar — never bail to a different template.
  6. Keep the navigation runtime as shipped. If the deck ships an assets/deck-stage.js or inline keyboard handler, leave it intact.
