At a glance

Applies one of ten preset color and font themes to slide decks, documents or HTML pages, or creates a new theme on the fly after you choose from a showcase.

  • Works in 4 steps: Show the theme showcase: Display the… → Ask for their choice: Ask which theme to… → Wait for selection: Get explicit… → …
  • Restyling a slide deck with a consistent color and font theme
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Usage Instructions, Themes Available and Theme Details, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The skill bundles ten named themes, from Ocean Depths and Sunset Boulevard to Modern Minimalist, Arctic Frost and Midnight Galaxy, each defined in its own file under `themes/` with a color palette in hex codes and a pairing of header and body fonts. A `theme-showcase.pdf` lets you see them all before choosing.

The agent shows the showcase file unchanged, asks which theme you want, waits for an explicit answer, then reads that theme's file and applies the colors and fonts consistently across the deck or artifact, checking contrast and readability. The description adds that the same styling works for documents, reports and HTML landing pages, and that a new theme can be generated when none of the presets fit.

When your agent uses it

  • Restyling a slide deck with a consistent color and font theme
  • Choosing between several preset themes by looking at a showcase
  • Applying a theme to an HTML landing page or report
  • Creating a custom theme when no preset fits

Example prompts

  • “Apply the Ocean Depths theme to my quarterly review deck.”
  • “Show me the available themes for this presentation and I will pick one.”
  • “Style this HTML landing page with the Desert Rose colors and fonts.”
  • “Make a new warm earth-tone theme for my report.”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Show the theme showcase: Display the theme-showcase.pdf file to allow users to see all available themes visually. Do not make any…
  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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 683bc88. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Theme Factory loads about 781 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 410 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~781

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

  • 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 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 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

Theme Details

Each theme is defined in the 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 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.
