# Fareon Slides

> Use this skill whenever creating PowerPoint slides for Fareon, Inc. — investor decks, pitch decks, internal presentations, clinical data slides, market landscape slides, or any .pptx output branded for Fareon. Trigger on any mention of Fareon slides, Fareon deck, Fareon presentation, the Fareon template, Fareon theme, or any request for slides where the context involves Fareon work. This skill produces drop-in-ready slides using Fareon's actual PowerPoint theme with correct fonts (Reem Kufi titles, Rethink Sans body), wordmark, footer, and slide numbering — no reformatting needed by the user.

# Fareon Slides Skill

## Overview

This skill creates properly themed Fareon slides by using the **template editing workflow** — duplicating slides from Fareon's actual `.pptx` template and injecting content into XML placeholders. This ensures:

- **Reem Kufi** titles at the correct size/position (inherited from the layout)
- **Fareon wordmark**, footer divider line, and `© 2026 Fareon | CONFIDENTIAL` footer auto-populated
- **Slide numbering** auto-populated
- **Correct slide dimensions** (20" × 11.28125" custom widescreen)
- No reformatting needed — slides drop directly into existing Fareon decks

For brand colors, typography, voice conventions, and logo usage, read `references/brand-system.md`.

## Quick Start

```bash
# 1. Copy the blank template to your working directory
#    (when installed as a skill, the template lives in the skill's assets/ folder)
cp "<skill-path>/assets/templates/Fareon blank template.pptx" ./fareon-working.pptx

# 2. Unpack
python /mnt/skills/public/pptx/scripts/office/unpack.py fareon-working.pptx unpacked/

# 3. Duplicate slide1 for each slide you need (slide1 uses Fareon-light-topic layout)
python /mnt/skills/public/pptx/scripts/add_slide.py unpacked/ slide1.xml
# Repeat for each additional slide; add each output <p:sldId> to <p:sldIdLst> in presentation.xml

# 4. Edit each slide's XML to inject content (see "Content Injection" below)

# 5. Clean and pack
python /mnt/skills/public/pptx/scripts/clean.py unpacked/
python /mnt/skills/public/pptx/scripts/office/pack.py unpacked/ output.pptx --original fareon-working.pptx
```

If those pptx helper scripts aren't available in the environment, fall back to using `python-pptx` against the same template — open the `.pptx`, duplicate layouts via `slide_layouts`, and populate placeholders by name.

## Template Structure

### Slide Dimensions
- **Width**: 20.0" (18,288,000 EMU)
- **Height**: 11.28125" (10,315,575 EMU)
- Exactly 2× standard 16:9. All coordinates use this scale.

### Available Layouts

Layouts in the blank template (the `.potx` variant in `logos/Fareon Brand Identity/Office templates/` adds one: `Fareon-light-topic-bullets`):

| # | Layout | Master | Background | Use For |
|---|--------|--------|------------|---------|
| 1 | Fareon-light-topic | Light | White | Primary content slides |
| 2 | Fareon-mixed | Light | White + right panel | Split layouts |
| 3 | Fareon-dark-tagline | Dark | Oxford Blue `#031D44` | Tagline / divider slides |
| 4 | Fareon-dark-topic | Dark | Oxford Blue | Dark content slides |
| 5 | Fareon-dark-topic-content | Dark | Oxford Blue | Dark slides with subtitle + body |
| 6 | Fareon-dark | Dark | Oxford Blue | Blank dark slide |
| 7 | Fareon-dark-title | Dark | Oxford Blue | Title slides (centered) |

The blank template's initial `slide1` uses Layout 1 (Fareon-light-topic). To use a different layout, call `add_slide.py` with the layout XML filename (e.g., `slideLayout7.xml` for `Fareon-dark-title`).

### Layout 1: Fareon-light-topic (Primary)

Elements provided by the layout — **do not recreate these**:

- **Title placeholder** — `type="title"`, Reem Kufi 48pt, pos `(0.722", 0.737")`, size `(18.417" × 1.29")`
- **Fareon wordmark** — embedded PNG at bottom-left `(0.75", 10.633")`, size `(1.688" × 0.282")`
- **Divider line** — PNG at bottom `(2.771", 10.759")`, size `(15.906" × 0.031")`
- **Footer** — `type="ftr"`, `idx=11`, auto-fills "© 2026 Fareon | CONFIDENTIAL"
- **Slide number** — `type="sldNum"`, `idx=10`, auto-fills page number

**Content area**: below title, above footer line ≈ y `2.1"` to `10.4"` (8.3" tall), x `0.72"` to `19.2"` (18.5" wide).

### Layout 5: Fareon-dark-topic-content

- **Title** — `type="title"`, Reem Kufi 45pt, pos `(1.062", 1.12")`, size `(17.794" × 0.801")`
- **Subtitle** — `type="body"`, `idx=13`, pos `(1.062", 2.042")`, size `(17.813" × 0.424")`
- **Body** — `type="body"`, `idx=15`, pos `(1.075", 3.128")`, size `(17.831" × 6.71")`
- Footer / slide number / wordmark / divider — same pattern as Layout 1

### Layout 7: Fareon-dark-title

- **Center title** — `type="ctrTitle"`, Reem Kufi 60pt, pos `(2.5", 1.845")`, size `(15.0" × 3.929")`
- **Subtitle** — `type="subTitle"`, `idx=1`, Reem Kufi 24pt, pos `(2.5", 6.231")`, size `(15.0" × 2.161")`
- **Connector line** between title and subtitle at y `5.886"`

## Content Injection

### Title placeholder

Title inherits Reem Kufi 48pt from the layout. **Do NOT specify a font override** — just set the text. If you set `<a:latin typeface="..."/>` inside `<a:rPr>`, it overrides the layout font and you lose Reem Kufi. Omit it.

### Adding content shapes

All custom content (text boxes, tables, charts, shapes) goes into `<p:spTree>` of the slide XML, **after** the existing placeholder shapes. Coordinates use EMU: 1 inch = 914,400 EMU.

Standard text-box XML:

```xml
<p:sp>
  <p:nvSpPr>
    <p:cNvPr id="100" name="TextBox 100"/>
    <p:cNvSpPr txBox="1"/>
    <p:nvPr/>
  </p:nvSpPr>
  <p:spPr>
    <a:xfrm>
      <a:off x="659130" y="1920000"/>
      <a:ext cx="8500000" cy="500000"/>
    </a:xfrm>
    <a:prstGeom prst="rect"><a:avLst/></a:prstGeom>
    <a:noFill/>
  </p:spPr>
  <p:txBody>
    <a:bodyPr wrap="square" rtlCol="0"/>
    <a:lstStyle/>
    <a:p>
      <a:r>
        <a:rPr lang="en-US" sz="2400" dirty="0">
          <a:latin typeface="Rethink Sans"/>
          <a:solidFill><a:srgbClr val="031D44"/></a:solidFill>
        </a:rPr>
        <a:t>Your text here</a:t>
      </a:r>
    </a:p>
  </p:txBody>
</p:sp>
```

Card shape (pale-blue filled rectangle with light border, Rethink Sans text):

```xml
<p:sp>
  <p:nvSpPr>
    <p:cNvPr id="101" name="Rectangle 101"/>
    <p:cNvSpPr/>
    <p:nvPr/>
  </p:nvSpPr>
  <p:spPr>
    <a:xfrm>
      <a:off x="659130" y="2500000"/>
      <a:ext cx="5000000" cy="3000000"/>
    </a:xfrm>
    <a:prstGeom prst="rect"><a:avLst/></a:prstGeom>
    <a:solidFill><a:srgbClr val="F4F6FB"/></a:solidFill>
    <a:ln w="6350"><a:solidFill><a:srgbClr val="E8EBF2"/></a:solidFill></a:ln>
  </p:spPr>
  <p:txBody>
    <a:bodyPr wrap="square" rtlCol="0" lIns="182880" tIns="91440" rIns="182880" bIns="91440"/>
    <a:lstStyle/>
    <a:p>
      <a:r>
        <a:rPr lang="en-US" sz="1800" dirty="0">
          <a:latin typeface="Rethink Sans"/>
          <a:solidFill><a:srgbClr val="031D44"/></a:solidFill>
        </a:rPr>
        <a:t>Card content</a:t>
      </a:r>
    </a:p>
  </p:txBody>
</p:sp>
```

## Type sizes

XML `sz` attribute uses hundredths of a point.

| Points | `sz` |
|--------|------|
| 14 | 1400 |
| 18 | 1800 |
| 20 | 2000 |
| 24 | 2400 |
| 28 | 2800 |
| 32 | 3200 |
| 36 | 3600 |
| 48 | 4800 |
| 60 | 6000 |

Typical usage: slide title 48pt (layout default) · section header 24–28pt Rethink Sans Bold · body 18–20pt Rethink Sans · large stat numbers 48–60pt Reem Kufi in Oxford Blue or Humanity Blue · caption/footnote 14–16pt Rethink Sans in Aluminum `#C4C4C4`.

## Brand & design rules

(Full brand system in `references/brand-system.md`.)

1. **Leave footer empty** — the layout auto-fills wordmark, divider, `©`, and page number.
2. **Lead with bluescale on white** — Oxford Blue, Humanity Blue, Cornflower, Periwinkle. Mint only sparingly (one callout per slide max).
3. **Lead with impact** — "cognitive impairment due to Long COVID" not "Long COVID cognitive impairment."
4. **Use commas not em dashes** for parenthetical asides.
5. **Positioning**: "biophysics" not "bioelectric"; "neuroimmune modulation" not "neuromodulation."
6. **File names use spaces, not underscores.**

## QA

After packing the output:

```bash
python /mnt/skills/public/pptx/scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to pdf output.pptx
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 output.pdf slide
```

Visually check each slide JPG: title renders in Reem Kufi (not a fallback), wordmark appears bottom-left, footer + slide number appear, no content overlaps the footer zone below y ≈ 10.4", no text overflows card boundaries. LibreOffice may substitute Reem Kufi / Rethink Sans with fallback fonts in the preview — the actual `.pptx` will render correctly in PowerPoint on any machine where those fonts are installed.
