kami-deck

Lets your agent create a document to present lab research results. It organizes the design, findings, caveats, and next steps.

What it does

This tool creates presentation decks for academic meetings, focusing on a specific design with dark blue and cream colors, and serif fonts. It's ideal for research on gut microbiome and sleep quality.

When to use it

  • ✓Presenting research findings in a lab meeting.
  • ✓Creating a visual summary of an academic project.
  • ✓Sharing scientific discoveries clearly and elegantly.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Create an academic deck on the gut microbiome-sleep quality link, with cover, content, stats, and end slides.”

kami-deck

Sister skill to kami-landing. Produces a single self-contained HTML file: a horizontal magazine-style swipe deck in the kami (紙 / 纸) design system — 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 — ←/→ 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 × 1.6, letter-spacing × 0.6 vs. print) are documented in §3 "Hierarchy" and §5 "Layout Principles · 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 — 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 · deck title · live slide counter (01 / 09).
  • Tabular-nums on every counter, metric, page number.
  • Coral-free — 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 — EN / zh-CN / ja, set on :root via the language parameter.

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 · label · 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     — ink-blue title plate
2. chapter   — "01 / Why now"
3. content   — manifesto
4. content   — capabilities + bullets
5. stats     — 4 numbers
6. chapter   — "02 / How it feels"
7. content   — method
8. content   — selected work
9. quote     — testimonial
10. cta      — primary action
11. end      — ink-blue kicker

Workflow

1. Gather the brief

Ask in two rounds (don't dump the whole list at once):

  1. Identity round — name, mark, tagline, location, edition, language.
  2. Content round — for each slide, kind + the typed fields.

2. Pick the language stack

Same as kami-landing: EN → Charter, zh-CN → TsangerJinKai02 / Source Han Serif, ja → 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 ≤ 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 → / 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.

FAQ

What are the available slide types?

There are slides for cover, chapters, main content, statistics, quotes, and the end.

How does navigation work?

You can navigate using keyboard arrows, mouse wheel, or touch gestures. The ESC key shows an overview of all slides.

Can I use colors other than blue and cream?

No, the 'kami' design specifies exclusive use of dark blue as an accent and cream for the main content, with no other accent colors.
