# Origami Paper Craft

Create complete 16:9 Japanese slide images in the Origami Paper Craft 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 washi ground with paper fiber grain and soft cast shadows everywhere; folded corner triangles in indigo, coral and sage at the four corners; paper plane, paper crane, yellow paper star and a peeling paper curl; huge Japanese gothic headline built from folded paper strips with crease lines and facet shading, indigo leading characters, charcoal body and coral tail; cream paper subline band with sage folded ribbon ends; raised cream paper panels with folded corner tabs holding cut-paper numerals; layered paper cut-out illustrations with visible edge thickness and low-poly facets; folded ribbon banners in indigo, sage and coral with cream cut-paper Japanese lettering; creased paper chevron arrows; wide indigo paper takeaway band with a folded highlight edge. 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: Origami Paper Craft — a folded-paper diorama photographed flat, rendered as a Japanese 16:9 slide. Design DNA: warm ivory washi ground with visible paper fiber grain and a gentle vignette, everything sitting on it as physically folded and cut paper casting soft directional drop shadows; large folded corner triangles in indigo, coral and sage green fill the four corners, with a small pale-yellow paper plane at the top-left, a folded paper crane in sage at the top-right, a yellow paper star at the bottom-left and a peeling paper curl at the bottom-right; the headline is a huge Japanese gothic built entirely from folded paper strips, every stroke showing crease lines, facet shading and its own cast shadow — leading roman characters in indigo paper, body characters in charcoal paper, final characters in coral paper; below it a cream paper band spans the width with sage-green folded ribbon ends notched into arrow tails, holding the subline as charcoal cut-paper lettering; the body is ONE dominant three-panel craft board laid on slightly raised cream paper sheets, each opened by a folded corner tab in indigo, sage or coral bearing a cut-paper numeral 1, 2 or 3, and holding illustrations assembled from layered paper cut-outs — clipboards, boxes, pie wedges, laptops, potted plants, lightbulbs, magnifiers and bar columns, all faceted with low-poly folds and visible edge thickness; each panel closes with a folded paper ribbon banner in indigo, sage or coral with notched ends carrying cream cut-paper Japanese lettering; arrows are folded paper chevrons with a crease down the middle and a darker underside; the bottom is one wide indigo paper band with cream cut-paper takeaway lettering and a pale-yellow emphasis run, its edge folded so a thin highlight catches along the top; overall tactile, handmade, quiet Japanese craft warmth, matte paper texture everywhere and no glossy or digital surfaces.

Make every metaphor paper and folding, never generic: blockers become jams in a folding sequence — buckled grain, misaligned crease, torn edge; change becomes a crumpled ball opening into two clean modular folds; steps become consecutive folding stages of mark, fold and press; improvement becomes a modular origami ring of interlocking units; checks become a paper checklist sheet with folded ticks tucked into slits; roadmaps become an accordion strip whose mountain folds are milestone peaks ending at a finished crane; priority becomes a square sheet creased into four quadrants with one folded up and raised; daily use becomes a paper strip creased into hour segments with standing markers; recap becomes a raised display card holding folded action tags. 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: Origami Paper Craft.
Design DNA: warm ivory washi ground with fiber grain and soft directional shadows; folded corner triangles in indigo, coral and sage plus a paper crane, paper plane, yellow star and peeling curl; huge Japanese gothic headline built entirely from folded paper strips with crease lines, indigo, charcoal and coral runs; cream paper subline band with sage folded ribbon ends; one dominant three-panel craft board on raised cream sheets with folded corner tabs bearing cut-paper numerals; exactly three folded ribbon banners in indigo, sage and coral with cream cut-paper Japanese lettering; layered paper cut-out illustrations with faceted low-poly folds; creased paper chevron arrows; wide indigo paper takeaway band with pale-yellow emphasis and a folded highlight edge
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.
