name: soft-3d-clay-ppt-skill description: Create or redesign PowerPoint/PPTX decks in a "Soft 3D / Claymorphism" style: minimalist professional presentation design with soft matte 3D geometric shapes, pastel beige/sage/warm-pink palette, airy clean layouts, soft shadows, high-end illustration feel, and sophisticated UI design. Use when the user asks for PPT design, slide decks, presentation styling, ppt-master integration, claymorphism, soft 3D, pastel professional decks, or modern airy business presentations.

Soft 3D / Claymorphism PPT

Use this skill to design professional PPT decks with a lightweight 3D claymorphism aesthetic: soft matte geometric shapes, airy whitespace, pastel warmth, and polished UI-like layout discipline. The style should feel modern, high-end, and calm, not childish or toy-like.

Core Workflow

1. If the task uses ppt-master, follow the ppt-master pipeline first. Use this skill as the visual style layer for the Eight Confirmations, design_spec.md, spec_lock.md, SVG execution, and visual QA.
2. Read references/style-system.md before choosing colors, typography, background treatment, icon strategy, and 3D shape usage.
3. Read references/slide-patterns.md before creating or rewriting slide layouts.
4. Read references/ppt-master-integration.md when producing design_spec.md, spec_lock.md, or SVG pages through ppt-master.
5. Read references/qa-checklist.md before final delivery or when reviewing a generated deck.

Non-Negotiable Style Rules

• Keep the layout extremely clean and professional.
• Use soft 3D geometry as corner accents or concept anchors, not as clutter.
• Use the pastel palette with restraint: warm beige base, sage green and warm pink accents.
• Use soft shadows and matte surfaces; avoid glossy plastic, neon, glassmorphism, or hard metallic 3D.
• Keep most information in flat, readable typography and simple grids.
• Avoid emoji, cartoon mascots, busy backgrounds, and saturated candy colors.
• Prefer 16:9 unless the user explicitly requests another aspect ratio.

Default Style Values

• Background: #FDF5E6
• Sage green: #B2AC88
• Warm pink: #DBADAD
• Charcoal text: #333333
• Secondary text: #6B6B6B
• Soft divider: #E7DAC8
• Highlight surface: #FFF9EF

Output Expectations

For new decks:

• Start with a clear content strategy: audience, narrative arc, page count, slide outline.
• Use calm assertion headlines and short body copy.
• Place 3D shapes in corners, side gutters, or hero zones; do not let them compete with the message.
• Use spacious UI-like composition: clear columns, soft panels, and consistent spacing.
• Include speaker notes when the workflow supports them.
• Export slide previews for visual QA when possible.

For redesigns:

• Preserve the user's content unless asked to restructure.
• Replace heavy charts/cards with softer panels, floating callouts, and simple diagrams.
• Add soft 3D accents only where they clarify hierarchy or mood.
