Degree of freedom: MIXED. Custom-theme authoring [HIGH freedom]; wait-for-
selection and existing-token inventory [LOW freedom — run exactly].
A curated collection of professional font and color themes. Once a theme is chosen, it can be applied to any artifact.
How to reason
- Inventory — existing tokens, fonts, and brand colors
- Select — show the catalog; wait for an explicit choice
- Apply — one palette + pairing everywhere on the artifact
- Contrast — 4.5:1 text; do not override the design system arbitrarily
Worked example
Inventory: slide deck uses mixed hex;
globals.cssalready has--primary. Select: user picks Forest Canopy after seeing the 11 options. Apply: headings Merriweather / body Lato;#276749primary on#f0fff4. Contrast: body text vs background ≥4.5:1; app chrome still uses existing tokens.
Self-critique before reporting
- Choice recorded — a theme was not applied until the user picked one
- One pairing — no leftover fonts or hex from a second theme
- Readable — contrast checked, not assumed
- Right owner — component library / tokens from scratch →
design-system; drifted token SSOT →housekeep-design
Purpose
To apply consistent, professional styling to presentation slide decks or other artifacts. Each theme includes:
- A cohesive color palette with hex codes
- Complementary font pairings for headers and body text
- A distinct visual identity suitable for different contexts and audiences

Application Process [LOW freedom — run exactly]
After a preferred theme is selected:
- Read the corresponding theme specifications
- Apply the specified colors and fonts consistently throughout
- Ensure proper contrast and readability
- Maintain the theme's visual identity across all elements
Create Your Own Theme [HIGH freedom]
To handle cases where none of the existing themes work, create a custom theme based on:
- User's brand colors
- Specific aesthetic direction
- Industry or context requirements
Generate a new theme with:
- 5 color palette (primary, secondary, accent, background, text)
- Font pairing (heading + body)
- A descriptive name
After generating, show it for review before applying.
Check existing first [LOW freedom — run exactly]
Before applying ANY theme, verify:
- Check for existing theme/design system:
cat tailwind.config.* 2>/dev/null | grep -A30 "colors\|fontFamily"
cat src/styles/globals.css docs/THEME_GUIDE.md 2>/dev/null
- Check for existing CSS variables:
rg "var\(--" --type css --type tsx | head -20
- Check for existing brand colors:
- Look in
public/for logos - Check existing components for color patterns
Why: Themes must integrate with existing design systems, not override them arbitrarily.
Validation [LOW freedom — do not skip]
After applying a theme:
- Visual consistency → All components use theme colors
- Contrast check → Text readable on backgrounds (4.5:1 min)
- Font loading → Google Fonts load correctly
- Dark mode → If applicable, verify dark variant works
- Mobile check → Typography scales appropriately
- Print preview → If printable, colors work in print
