# Theme Factory Skill

This skill provides a curated collection of professional font and color themes, each with carefully selected color palettes and font pairings. Once a theme is chosen, it can be applied to any artifact.

## Purpose

To apply consistent, professional styling to presentation slide decks, use this skill. Each theme includes:
- A cohesive color palette with hex codes
- Complementary font pairings for headers and body text
- A distinct visual identity suitable for different contexts and audiences

## Usage Instructions

To apply styling to a slide deck or other artifact:

1. **Show the theme showcase**: Display the `assets/theme-showcase.pdf` file to allow users to see all available themes visually. Do not make any modifications to it; simply show the file for viewing.
2. **Ask for their choice**: Ask which theme to apply to the deck
3. **Wait for selection**: Get explicit confirmation about the chosen theme
4. **Apply the theme**: Once a theme has been chosen, apply the selected theme's colors and fonts to the deck/artifact

## Themes Available

The following 10 themes are available, each showcased in `assets/theme-showcase.pdf`:

1. **Ocean Depths** - Professional and calming maritime theme
2. **Sunset Boulevard** - Warm and vibrant sunset colors
3. **Forest Canopy** - Natural and grounded earth tones
4. **Modern Minimalist** - Clean and contemporary grayscale
5. **Golden Hour** - Rich and warm autumnal palette
6. **Arctic Frost** - Cool and crisp winter-inspired theme
7. **Desert Rose** - Soft and sophisticated dusty tones
8. **Tech Innovation** - Bold and modern tech aesthetic
9. **Botanical Garden** - Fresh and organic garden colors
10. **Midnight Galaxy** - Dramatic and cosmic deep tones

## Theme Details

Each theme is defined in the `assets/themes/` directory with complete specifications including:
- Cohesive color palette with hex codes
- Complementary font pairings for headers and body text
- Distinct visual identity suitable for different contexts and audiences

## Application Process

After a preferred theme is selected:
1. Read the corresponding theme file from the `assets/themes/` directory
2. Apply the specified colors and fonts consistently throughout the deck
3. Ensure proper contrast and readability
4. Maintain the theme's visual identity across all slides

## Create your Own Theme
To handle cases where none of the existing themes work for an artifact, create a custom theme. Based on provided inputs, generate a new theme similar to the ones above. Give the theme a similar name describing what the font/color combinations represent. Use any basic description provided to choose appropriate colors/fonts. After generating the theme, show it for review and verification. Following that, apply the theme as described above.

Overview

This skill is a toolkit for applying consistent, professional themes to visual artifacts like slide decks, reports, and simple HTML landing pages. It ships with ten preset color and font themes and a guided workflow to apply or generate a custom theme. The goal is fast, repeatable styling that preserves readability and visual identity.

How this skill works

Select a theme from the curated library or generate a custom one from user inputs. The skill reads the chosen theme specification (color hex codes and header/body font pairings) and applies those styles consistently across the target artifact. It enforces contrast and layout checks so typography and color usage remain legible and harmonious.

When to use it

  • Polishing presentation slide decks for a consistent brand or event look
  • Styling one-off reports or whitepapers to match a desired tone
  • Creating a unified visual identity for a campaign landing page
  • Rapidly prototyping themed slides or documents for stakeholder review
  • When existing templates feel inconsistent or ad-hoc and need standardization

Best practices

  • Preview available themes visually before applying them so stakeholders can pick a direction
  • Verify color contrast on key slides (titles, body text, data visuals) for accessibility
  • Use the provided header and body font pairings rather than mixing extra typefaces
  • Apply the theme globally rather than per-slide to maintain consistency
  • When creating a custom theme, provide clear tone keywords (e.g., ‘formal’, ‘playful’, ‘tech’) to guide color and font choices

Example use cases

  • Apply ‘Modern Minimalist’ for a clean investor pitch deck
  • Use ‘Botanical Garden’ for sustainability or environmental reports
  • Generate a custom warm, formal theme for a client proposal when presets don’t fit
  • Style an event landing page with ‘Sunset Boulevard’ to evoke warmth and energy
  • Re-theme an internal training deck to match company colors and improve legibility

FAQ

Can I preview themes before applying them?

Yes. Show the theme showcase to review all theme thumbnails and palettes before selecting one.

What if none of the presets fit my needs?

Provide brief descriptive inputs and the skill will generate a custom theme with color hexes and font pairings, then show it for review before applying.
