Olive Rose PPTX

Olive Rose Salon PPTX Skill

A reusable fixed-style PowerPoint generation skill. It builds on the pptx skill's technical capabilities while locking in the Olive Rose Salon visual identity: high-fashion, poster-led, exhibition-grade.

Core principle — style wins over content volume. When the user's topic contains more information than the poster format can hold, compress and reinterpret. Do not expand the deck into dense explanations. The user's subject is preserved, but expressed through sparse, editorial, exhibition-like language. Every deck must feel like a sequence of art exhibition posters — not a report, not an explainer, not a generic slide deck. The topic is the subject of an exhibition. The slides are the posters.

Step 1: Gather Inputs (Ask First — Max 3 Questions)

Do not start generating immediately. Use the AskUserQuestion tool to present interactive questions. Ask all missing questions in a single AskUserQuestion call (up to 3 questions at once).

Only ask questions the user hasn't already answered in their prompt. If the topic is already clear from their message, skip question 1 and only ask what's still missing.

Question 1 — Topic (skip if already provided):

• header: "Topic"
• question: "What is the presentation topic, exhibition title, project title, or brand/product name?"
• options: provide 2–3 example options relevant to context, plus allow Other

Question 2 — Slide count (skip if already specified):

• header: "Slides"
• question: "How many slides should the deck include?"
• options: 6 slides, 8 slides (Recommended), 10 slides, 12 slides

Question 3 — Images:

• header: "Images"
• question: "How should images be handled?"
• options:
  • Generate with AI — I'll create botanical abstract illustrations using gpt-image-2
  • Use my uploaded images — Insert images I provide
  • Combine both — Mix uploaded and AI-generated images

If the user hasn't provided audience, date, venue, speakers, or other details, infer or use neutral placeholder copy — do not keep asking. Only follow up if the missing info makes it literally impossible to build the deck.

Once you have the three core answers, proceed directly to generation.

Step 2: Topic Translation — Everything Becomes an Exhibition

Before writing any slide copy, translate the user's topic into an Olive Rose Salon frame. No topic is too technical, strange, or non-botanical. Every subject can be reframed as an atmospheric poster sequence, cultural exhibition, brand mood story, or poetic concept deck — while preserving the user's actual subject.

Do not create a generic educational report, business explainer, or text-heavy slide deck about the topic. Instead, decide: what is the exhibition title? What is the one-line framing statement? What is the 3–4 word subtitle? Write these first. They become the cover slide's primary elements and anchor the visual language of the whole deck.

Step 3: Generate Images (if requested)

Read the generate-image skill at /home/node/.claude/skills/generate-image/SKILL.md for the exact API call pattern. Use openai/gpt-image-2 with response_format: "b64_json".

How many images to generate

• 8-slide deck → 3–4 images
• 10–12 slide deck → 4–5 images
• Fewer than 6 slides → 2–3 images

Image prompt formula — Olive Rose Salon

All generated images must read as atmospheric, non-literal, and Olive Rose in palette. Even for dark or strange topics, reinterpret through abstract blurred forms — never literal scenes, never people, never readable text.

Base formula:

Soft motion-blurred botanical forms, painterly abstract foliage, deep olive green, moss, muted amber, shadow green, very faint pale pink highlights. Long-exposure photography style, atmospheric blurred garden movement, painterly flowers dissolving into color. No text, no logos, no people. Dark olive-brown dominant tone, 16:9 landscape composition.

For darker topics (e.g., liminal space, industrial, dystopian), adapt the mood while keeping the Olive Rose palette:

Abstract blurred forms suggesting [mood word — shadows, corridors, silence, depth], deep olive and moss tones, motion blur, painterly dissolution. No readable text, no logos, no people. Dark olive-brown dominant. 16:9.

Save each image to /tmp/olive-rose-img-N.png.

Step 4: Build the PPTX

Read the pptx skill at /home/node/.claude/skills/pptx/SKILL.md and its pptxgenjs.md reference for the full API. Build using PptxGenJS.

Core style constants — do not deviate

const BG    = "372E19";        // all slide backgrounds
const PINK  = "FFE1FC";        // primary type — titles, headlines
const CREAM = "F5EFE0";        // secondary — body, taglines
const GOLD  = "C8A96A";        // rules, dividers, labels, metadata
const SERIF = "Georgia";       // all poster/display type
const SANS  = "Trebuchet MS";  // all small metadata and labels

Typography sizing

Layout — LAYOUT_16x9 always (10" × 5.625")

Poster System Rules — These Override Everything

The most common failure mode is a text-heavy report placed on a dark background. These rules prevent that. When any rule conflicts with fitting more content onto a slide, the rule wins — compress the content instead.

Rule 1: Style wins over content volume

When the topic has more information than the poster format can hold, compress it. Do not add more slides, do not shrink the font, do not write smaller. Summarise poetically. Pick the single most important idea per slide and discard the rest. The Olive Rose Salon aesthetic takes priority over completeness of information.

Rule 2: One idea per slide. Under 25 words.

Count the visible words before finalising each slide. Most slides must be under 25 words total — title, body, labels, and metadata combined. If you find yourself writing a second sentence to explain the first, delete the second sentence and make the first more precise.

Wrong: "The Backrooms is an internet phenomenon originating from a 2019 4chan post, describing a liminal space of infinite yellow rooms with buzzing fluorescent lights and damp carpet."

Right:

THE BACKROOMS
An internet myth becomes architecture.

Rule 3: One dominant title, everything else recedes

Every slide has exactly one typographic dominant: the title. It must be large, elegant, and visually primary. Supporting text must be noticeably smaller. Metadata — date, venue, section label — must stay small and peripheral, never competing with the title. The hierarchy must be obvious at a glance.
