Trigger Phrases

• "create presentation" / "make slides"
• "create carousel" / "LinkedIn carousel"
• "create HTML page" / "make landing page" / "build web page"
• "html design system" / "design system"
• "setup brand" / "brand init" / "extract brand"
• "create template" / "new template"
• "get outline" / "outline for template" / "prepare content"
• "color palette" / "generate palette" / "alternative colors"
• NOT for: General design questions, non-branded content
• NOT for: Drupal conversion (use design-system-converter plugin instead)

Project Detection

Before ANY operation, find the PROJECT_PATH using this search order:

1. Current directory - Check if ./brand-philosophy.md exists
2. Parent directory - Check if ../brand-philosophy.md exists
3. Subdirectories - Use find . -maxdepth 2 -name "brand-philosophy.md" to find nearby projects
4. If multiple found - Ask user which project to use
5. If none found - Direct user to run /brand-init first

Once PROJECT_PATH is set, the folder structure is:

{PROJECT_PATH}/
├── brand-philosophy.md          # Always exists
├── templates/
│   ├── presentations/
│   │   └── {template-name}/
│   │       ├── template.md
│   │       ├── canvas-philosophy.md
│   │       └── sample.pptx
│   ├── carousels/
│   │   └── {template-name}/
│   │       ├── template.md
│   │       ├── canvas-philosophy.md
│   │       └── sample.pdf
│   └── html/
│       └── {design-system-name}/
│           ├── canvas-philosophy.md
│           ├── design-system.md
│           └── components/      # Reusable HTML components
├── presentations/               # Output folder
├── carousels/                   # Output folder
├── html-pages/                  # Output folder (HTML pages)
└── assets/                      # Brand assets

Finding templates:

• Presentations: find {PROJECT_PATH}/templates/presentations -name "template.md"
• Carousels: find {PROJECT_PATH}/templates/carousels -name "template.md"

Three-Layer System

Apply this layered approach when creating content:

1. Layer 1 - Brand Philosophy (brand-philosophy.md in project)

   • Load and apply visual DNA (colors, typography, imagery)
   • Load and apply verbal DNA (voice, tone, vocabulary)

2. Layer 2 - Content Type Guide (from plugin references/)

   • Read references/presentations-guide.md for presentations
   • Read references/carousels-guide.md for carousels

3. Layer 3 - Template (from project templates/)

   • Load template's canvas-philosophy.md for visual design rules
   • Follow template's structure for slide/card sequence

Underlying Skills

Use these skills during content generation:

The visual-content skill is bundled with this plugin. For HTML-to-Drupal conversion, use the design-system-converter plugin.

Online Dev-Guides (Design Systems)

For design system recognition and analysis methodology, use the dev-guides-navigator plugin:

Invoke /dev-guides-navigator with keywords like "design system recognition", "Bootstrap mapping", or "component analysis". The navigator handles caching and disambiguation — never fetch dev-guides URLs directly.
