# Collage Cut Paper

Create complete 16:9 Japanese slide images in the Collage Cut Paper 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 ivory paper ground with fiber grain; hand-torn and scissor-cut scraps in muted teal, rust, mustard, pale blue plus polka-dot and graph-paper scraps; enormous black slab-gothic Japanese headline cut from paper with ragged edges and hard offset shadow; rust-red emphasis word; teal torn subline strip with mustard brush underline; ivory paper cards with deckled edges and hand-cut black polygon number badges; chunky black cut-paper block arrows; three torn label bands in teal, rust and mustard; flat cut-paper icon assemblies; washi tape tabs, halftone dot fields, hand-inked burst strokes, mustard paper star; black torn-paper bottom strip with teal underlined 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: Collage Cut Paper — editorial torn-paper collage Japanese business slide. Design DNA: warm ivory paper ground with a visible fiber-and-grain texture, overlaid with hand-cut and hand-torn colored paper scraps in muted teal, rust orange, mustard yellow, pale blue and a rust scrap printed with white polka dots, plus one graph-paper scrap in a corner; headline is enormous heavy black slab-gothic Japanese lettering physically cut out of paper, ragged fibrous edges and a hard offset shadow, with the emphasis word cut from rust red paper, all resting on a torn ivory banner strip; the subline sits in white on a muted-teal torn strip with a mustard hand-brushed underline; the main body is ONE dominant diagram built from ivory paper cards with deckled and ripped edges, each stamped with a hand-cut black polygon number badge, and joined by chunky black cut-paper block arrows; exactly three label bands torn from teal, rust and mustard paper carry white bold Japanese text; icons and figures are flat cut-paper illustration (clipboards, folder boxes, donut and bar charts, potted plants, magnifiers, lightbulbs) assembled from stacked colored shapes with tiny paper shadows; decoration is sparse and physical — a mustard cut-paper star, small hand-inked burst strokes, halftone dot fields, faint fold creases; the bottom is one black torn-paper strip with white text and one phrase in teal underlined in mustard; overall look is printed-zine, handmade, tactile, deliberately imperfect; crisp vector-collage illustration, no photo, no realistic people.

Make every metaphor physical paper: blockers become crumpled wads taped onto a paper route; change becomes a stapled heap re-cut into two clean taped lanes; steps become overlapping pasted cards joined by cut-paper arrows; improvement becomes a paper ring split into three arcs; checks become one taped-down deckled sheet of check rows; roadmaps become a perforated tear-line with paper flags pushed in; priority becomes four butted paper squares with one peeled winning corner; daily use becomes a scrapbook strip of taped photo scraps; recap becomes one central card fanned over colored scraps holding torn action chips. 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: Collage Cut Paper.
Design DNA: ivory paper ground with visible fiber texture; layered hand-torn scraps in muted teal, rust, mustard and pale blue with polka-dot and graph-paper accents; enormous black slab-gothic Japanese headline cut from paper with ragged edges, rust-red emphasis word and hard offset shadow; teal torn subline strip with mustard brush underline; one dominant diagram of ivory deckled-edge paper cards with black polygon number badges; chunky black cut-paper arrows; exactly three torn label bands in teal, rust and mustard; flat cut-paper icons; washi tape, halftone dots, inked burst strokes; black torn-paper bottom strip with one teal underlined phrase
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.
