# Claymorphism Soft Shapes

Create complete 16:9 Japanese slide images in the Claymorphism Soft Shapes style. Turn business lessons into finished slide boards whose cards, arrows, labels, and diagrams stay readable as thumbnails while keeping this family's distinct look.

Generate each slide as one finished PNG with image_gen: background, Japanese text, diagrams, objects, icons, texture, and layout together. Do not rebuild the design with PPTX shapes, HTML/CSS, SVG, or local text overlays.

If this skill arrives as a ZIP, extract it first and read this file plus all required references. Do not infer the style from the ZIP name or cover alone.

## Required Reading

Read these before generating:

1. references/input-workflow.md
2. references/visual-system.md
3. references/slide-recipes.md
4. references/quality-bar.md

Inspect assets/reference-slides/style-reference.png, samples/contact_sheet.png, and all ten sample slides. Treat the ten samples as authoritative finished examples. Preserve the whole family's warm cream clay slab background; matte plasticine everything with thick rounded edges, soft ambient shadows and no gloss; enormous extruded clay Japanese gothic headline in sky blue, deep navy and coral; fully rounded cream clay subline pill with coral dash marks; raised cream squircle clay panels with circled clay number chips; pastel clay-modeled objects and one friendly clay figure with a simple modeled face; fat sky-blue clay block arrows; three fully rounded capsule label bars in sky blue, lavender and mint; lavender and coral background blobs, mustard clay star, small clay balls, rolled squiggle worms, clay lightbulb; wide cream clay bottom band with a coral phrase. Do not copy only the cover layout.

## Non-Negotiable Workflow

1. Parse numbered user text into an ordered slide plan.
2. Preserve meaning while compressing long copy into one headline, one subline, exactly three short labels, and one bottom takeaway.
3. Choose one role from references/slide-recipes.md.
4. Generate exactly one complete 16:9 Japanese slide image at a time with image_gen.
5. Save as slide_01.png, slide_02.png, and so on.
6. Compare each result with the bundled contact sheet and quality bar.
7. Regenerate unreadable Japanese, invented details, logo-like marks, weak hierarchy, or generic template output.
8. If PPTX or PDF is requested, make PNG slide art first and place each PNG full-bleed into the delivery file.

## Design DNA

Style: Claymorphism Soft Shapes — matte modeling-clay 3D Japanese business slide. Design DNA: warm cream clay slab as the background, everything on it sculpted from soft matte plasticine with thick rounded edges, gentle ambient-occlusion shadows and zero gloss or specular highlight; headline is enormous extruded clay Japanese gothic lettering with pillow-round corners, one word pressed in sky blue clay, the body in deep navy clay and the emphasis word in coral clay, each stroke slightly puffed like squeezed dough; a long fully rounded cream clay pill holds the subline in navy clay text, flanked by tiny coral dash marks; the main body is ONE dominant diagram made of raised cream clay panels with squircle corners and soft inner shadow, each stamped with a small circled clay number chip in blue, lavender or mint; contents are clay-modeled objects — clipboards, folder boxes, potted plants, laptops, donut charts, bar charts, magnifiers, speech bubbles and a friendly clay figure with a simple modeled face — all in pastel matte clay; connectors are short fat sky-blue clay block arrows; exactly three fully rounded capsule label bars pressed in sky blue, lavender and mint clay carry white text; decoration is scattered clay props: lavender and coral background blobs, a mustard clay star, small clay balls in mint, coral and blue, thin squiggle worms of rolled clay, and a clay lightbulb; the bottom is a wide cream clay band with navy text and one phrase in coral, with a clay dartboard-and-dart at one end and a small coral heart button at the other; overall soft, tactile, toy-like and reassuring; matte 3D clay render, no photo, no realistic people.

Make every metaphor sculpted: blockers become a clay tube pinched shut by gray lumps; change becomes an unshaped mound rerolled into two even clay ribbons; steps become three raised squircle panels joined by fat clay arrows; improvement becomes a donut ring rolled from three colored coils; checks become pressed grooves stamped with clay check marks; roadmaps become rising clay stepping stones with rolled-stick flags; priority becomes a 2x2 clay tray with one well built up higher; daily use becomes clay balls threaded on a rolled rail; recap becomes one raised panel of stacked clay chips inside coral ripple rings. Do not reduce the family to three equal cards with the right colors.

## Prompt Contract

Use this structure for every image:

Create exactly one complete 16:9 Japanese slide image.
Style: Claymorphism Soft Shapes.
Design DNA: warm cream clay slab background; matte plasticine forms with thick rounded edges, soft ambient occlusion and no specular gloss; enormous extruded clay Japanese gothic headline with a sky blue word, deep navy body and coral emphasis word; fully rounded cream clay subline pill with coral dash marks; one dominant diagram of raised cream squircle clay panels with circled clay number chips; pastel clay-modeled objects; fat sky-blue clay block arrows; exactly three fully rounded capsule label bars in sky blue, lavender and mint with white text; lavender and coral blobs, mustard clay star, clay balls and squiggle worms; wide cream clay bottom band with one coral phrase, a clay dartboard and a coral heart button
Required Japanese text:
- Headline: [short headline]
- Subline: [short subline]
- Labels: [exactly 3 short labels]
- Bottom takeaway: [one concise sentence]
Slide role: [cover / problem / before-after / three-step / loop / checklist / roadmap / matrix / case / recap]
Composition: follow the matching recipe and inspect samples/contact_sheet.png. Use one dominant role-specific metaphor from references/slide-recipes.md instead of a generic card grid.
Generate background, text, diagrams, objects, texture, and layout together.
Avoid extra microcopy, page numbers, fake logos, QR codes, URLs, dates, prices, watermarks, photorealistic people, equal card grids, and generic PowerPoint/Canva/Gamma output.

## Output Defaults

- One 16:9 PNG per slide, Japanese text only, thumbnail-readable.
- File names slide_01.png through slide_NN.png in content order.
- Keep the family look consistent across every slide in a deck.
