kami-deck
Sister skill to kami-landing. Produces a single
self-contained HTML file: a horizontal magazine-style swipe deck in
the kami (η΄ / ηΊΈ) design system β print rhythm, ink-blue accent,
serif at one weight, no italic, no cool grays.
The navigation model is intentionally borrowed from the
guizang-ppt skill β β/β arrow keys, wheel /
swipe, ESC for the overview grid. The aesthetic stays kami: parchment
content slides, ink-blue cover and chapter slides, serif everywhere.
Design system source of truth:
design-systems/kami/DESIGN.md. Read it before shipping. Tokens, type rules, and forbidden colors all live there. Slide-specific scale ratios (macro Γ 1.6, letter-spacing Γ 0.6 vs. print) are documented in Β§3 "Hierarchy" and Β§5 "Layout Principles Β· Slides".
What you get
- N viewport-sized slides (6-15 is the sweet spot) laid out horizontally on one transformed flex track.
- Cover and chapter slides flip background to ink-blue
(
#1B365D) with ivory text β the only place dark theme is used. - Content / stats / quote / CTA slides stay on parchment
(
#f5f4ed) with serif at weight 500. - Per-slide chrome strip: brand mark Β· deck title Β· live slide
counter (
01 / 09). - Tabular-nums on every counter, metric, page number.
- Coral-free β kami's accent is ink-blue. Progress bar and dot nav are ink-blue too.
- Keyboard / wheel / touch nav, ESC overview grid, dot indicator.
- Multilingual stack β EN / zh-CN / ja, set on
:rootvia thelanguageparameter.
Slide types
| Kind | Background | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
cover | ink-blue | Title plate at the start. Centered serif title + tagline. |
chapter | ink-blue | Roman/Arabic numeral chapter divider. |
content | parchment | Section number + title + body + optional bullets. |
stats | parchment | 3-4 metric cells (value Β· label Β· sub). |
quote | parchment | Pull quote with ink-blue left rule + author signature. |
cta | parchment | Closing pitch + 1-2 buttons. |
end | ink-blue | Mega serif kicker word + colophon footer. |
A typical 11-slide deck:
1. cover β ink-blue title plate
2. chapter β "01 / Why now"
3. content β manifesto
4. content β capabilities + bullets
5. stats β 4 numbers
6. chapter β "02 / How it feels"
7. content β method
8. content β selected work
9. quote β testimonial
10. cta β primary action
11. end β ink-blue kicker
Workflow
1. Gather the brief
Ask in two rounds (don't dump the whole list at once):
- Identity round β name, mark, tagline, location, edition, language.
- Content round β for each slide, kind + the typed fields.
2. Pick the language stack
Same as kami-landing:
EN β Charter, zh-CN β TsangerJinKai02 / Source Han Serif, ja β
YuMincho. JA also overrides --olive to #4d4c48 because YuMincho
strokes are thinner.
3. Write index.html
Output a single file with all CSS inline. Mirror the structure of
example.html. Use only the tokens from
design-systems/kami/DESIGN.md.
The runtime script (keyboard / wheel / touch nav, dot indicator,
progress bar, ESC overview) should match the model documented in
open-design-landing-deck/scripts/compose.ts.
Do not reuse the open-design-landing-deck CSS; the visual
language is different.
4. Self-check
- All cover / chapter / end slides use ink-blue background
(
#1B365D) with ivory text. All other slides are on parchment. - Ink-blue covers β€ 5% of any parchment slide's surface.
- Slide titles use serif weight 500 only. No italic.
- All numeric stacks (counter, metrics, page numbers) carry
font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums. - Press
β/Space/ scroll. Smoothly slides one viewport to the right; dot nav advances; the ink-blue progress bar ticks forward. - Press
Esc. Overview grid appears with scaled thumbnails. - Resize to 1080px and 640px. Cover / content collapse to a single column; dot nav still works.
- Lighthouse: contrast AA, font-display swap, no layout shift.
Boundaries
- Do not introduce a second accent color. Pick ink-blue or pick nothing.
- Do not use italic anywhere β emphasis swaps to ink-blue.
- Do not use
rgba()for tag fills; pre-blend over parchment and use solid hex from the table indesign-systems/kami/DESIGN.mdΒ§2. - Do not add a router. This is a single-file artifact.
- Do not reuse Atelier Zero collage imagery (the open-design-landing visual system). Kami is gradient-free, image-light, and hierarchy is carried by type.
