Fashion Sketch

Apparel Tech Pack

Create professional apparel technical specification packages following a structured, visually refined document format with a dark navy cover page, coral accent system, and clean table-driven content layout.

Reference & Output Policy

When the user does not specify an output format, produce DOCX. Produce PDF when the user requests a finalized non-editable document. Produce PPTX only when the user explicitly requests a slide-presentation format.

Quick Workflow

1. Gather collection data from the user (styles, measurements, materials, BOM)
2. Read references/style_contract.md for visual styling rules
3. Read references/structure_contract.md for document section hierarchy and field definitions
4. Generate the document in the requested output format
5. Apply the style contract consistently across all pages

Style Summary

The tech pack follows a modern minimal aesthetic:

• Cover: Dark navy (#2A2D3E) full-bleed background with decorative ring outlines, centered collection metadata, coral accent underline on title
• Typography: Montserrat family for headings (Bold -> SemiBold -> Medium hierarchy), Open Sans for body text, Noto Serif for occasional accents; geometric sans-serif character throughout
• Accent color: Coral red (#C94F56) used for H1 underlines, style codes, "Table X" labels, and callout box left borders
• Tables: Light-gray header rows, alternating body rows, horizontal borders only; BOM tables use a dark navy header (#2D3142) with white text for stronger hierarchy
• Callout boxes: Light gray background with thick coral left border for notes and special instructions
• Layout: Generous margins, single-column content, page numbers centered at bottom
• Section dividers: Clean divider pages with H1 title + coral underline + brief description only, before major sections

For full details read references/style_contract.md.

Document Structure

The tech pack contains these sections in order:

1. Cover Page -- season, collection title, metadata (code, SKU count, size range, date, version)
2. Table of Contents -- two-level hierarchy with dotted leaders and right-aligned page numbers
3. Collection Overview -- style summary cards + standard size chart
4. Style Specifications -- one 2-page spread per style (metadata bar, flat sketch, construction table, measurement chart, colorways)
5. Fabric & Trim Library -- fabric swatch photo grid + specifications, hardware tables, trims, labels
6. Bill of Materials (BOM) -- per-style material breakdown with category groupings
7. Packaging & Labeling -- individual packaging, carton specs, labeling requirements
8. Quality Standards -- AQL table, defect categories, testing requirements, inspection checklist
9. Approval & Sign-Off -- signature blocks, revision history, confidentiality notice (part of Section 6, not a separate top-level section)

For full section definitions, field lists, and numbering rules read references/structure_contract.md.

Typography & Font Handling

Reference Fonts (TrueType)

• Headings: Montserrat (Bold 700 for H1, SemiBold 600 for H2, Medium 500 for H3)
• Body: Open Sans (Regular 400, Medium 500, SemiBold 600)
• Serif accent: Noto Serif (Regular 400) for occasional accent use

Critical Font Requirements

Use TrueType fonts only -- Montserrat, Open Sans, and Noto Serif. Do not use generic Type3 or bitmap fonts. These fonts must be embedded in the output document for professional text rendering.

CJK / Mixed-Script Strategy

When content includes Chinese or other CJK text, substitute:

• Headings: Noto Sans CJK SC (Heavy/Bold for H1, Bold for H2, Medium for H3)
• Body: Noto Sans CJK SC (Regular 400, Medium 500)

Maintain the same type scale, weight hierarchy, and visual density regardless of script. Use one CJK-capable font family consistently across the entire document.

Illustration & Image Requirements

Flat Sketches (CRITICAL)

Each style specification page must include front and back flat sketch illustrations. Do not use placeholder boxes or generic icons.

• Use the image generation tool to create technical flat sketches for each style
• Prompt pattern: "Technical fashion flat sketch, front and back view of a [garment type], clean line drawing, white background, professional garment technical illustration style"
• Place side-by-side (front left, back right) centered on the page
• Caption below: "Figure N: [Style Code] Front & Back Flat Sketch"

Fabric Swatches (CRITICAL)

The Fabric Swatches section must include actual fabric texture photographs, not solid color rectangles.

• Use the image generation tool to create fabric swatch textures
• Prompt pattern: "Close-up fabric swatch texture photo, [material type] fabric, showing weave/pattern detail, professional product photography, soft even lighting"
• Display in a 2x4 grid with code labels and available colors beneath each swatch

Adaptation Guidelines

When adapting this template for different product categories:

Multi-Format Consistency

When producing output in different formats:

• DOCX: Preserve full editability. Use native heading styles, tables, and page breaks. Apply the coral accent color system through styles. Include headers/footers with page numbers. Embed TrueType fonts (Montserrat, Open Sans).
• PDF: Render as finalized document. Preserve all visual styling from the style contract including cover page background, decorative elements, color system, and embedded TrueType fonts.
• PPTX: Convert each section to a slide. Cover page becomes title slide. Each style spec becomes 1-2 content slides. Tables maintain styling. Sign-off becomes final slide.

Page Density Guidelines

To match the reference document's information density (33 pages for 10 styles):

• Each style spec spans exactly 2 pages
• Combine tolerance notes, secondary measurements, and colorways on the second page of each style
• Avoid near-empty pages -- consolidate content to eliminate pages with only a few lines
• Section divider pages contain only the H1 title + coral underline + one-line description
• Fabric swatches and Fabric Specifications table share the same page

Required User Inputs

To generate a complete tech pack, the user must provide (or the agent must infer from context):

• Collection season and year
• Collection name and code
• List of styles with codes, names, categories, and price tiers
• For each style: fabric details, construction specifications, graded measurements, colorways
• Fabric library (materials, weights, origins, care instructions)
• Hardware and trims specifications
• BOM data (materials, quantities, suppliers per style)
• Packaging specifications
• Quality standards and testing requirements

If the user provides incomplete data, generate the document structure with placeholder content clearly marked for completion.
