# Prompt Soft Gradient

Create complete 16:9 Japanese slide images in the Prompt Soft Gradient 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 full-canvas soft gradient wash from peach and pale rose through lavender and powder blue into mint; out-of-focus color blobs, faint dot grids and floating ribbon curves; huge flat Japanese gothic headline with a soft halo, a blue-violet opening word, deep navy body and a coral-pink closing word; frosted translucent capsule for the subline; large frosted glassmorphic cards with borderless soft edges and diffuse shadows; soft-3D pastel-gradient flat illustrations; peach-coral and blue-mint gradient arrows plus a translucent wave ribbon; exactly three white rounded label pills with circular gradient icon badges; sparkle motes and small glowing orbs; translucent white-to-blue rounded takeaway band with a rocket badge and a rising swoosh. 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: Prompt Soft Gradient — airy translucent-gradient Japanese business slide. Design DNA: the whole canvas is a single soft gradient wash that drifts from peach and pale rose on the left through lavender and powder blue into mint on the right, with large out-of-focus color blobs, faint dotted grid patches and a few thin ribbon curves floating behind everything; nothing is pure white and nothing is pure black; the headline is a huge heavy Japanese gothic with clean flat edges and a soft light halo behind it, the opening word filled with a blue-to-violet gradient, the body in deep navy, and the closing word filled with a coral-to-pink gradient; under it sits one wide frosted-glass capsule, a fully rounded translucent pill with a pale lavender hairline border and tiny sparkle dots inside, holding the subline in medium navy; the main body is ONE dominant diagram built from large frosted translucent cards with generously rounded corners, almost no visible border, a whisper of inner glow and very soft diffuse shadows, each card holding soft-3D pastel-gradient flat illustrations (clipboards, cardboard boxes of colored folders, laptops, chat bubbles, donut and bar charts, magnifiers, small potted plants) rendered with gentle volume rather than hard outlines; gradient arrows in peach-to-coral and blue-to-mint sweep between the cards while a wide translucent wave ribbon flows behind them tying the whole row together; exactly three label pills are soft white rounded chips seated on the lower edge of each card, each with a circular gradient icon badge on its left in orange, violet or green; decoration is quiet and luminous — sparkle motes, small glowing orbs, a lightbulb resting on a pale pedestal, faint dot grids; the bottom carries one wide translucent white-to-blue rounded takeaway band with navy type, one phrase in gradient blue, a rocket in a blue gradient circle badge at the left and a rising swoosh arrow at the right; overall soft, calm, weightless, glassmorphic, gentle contrast, no hard black lines anywhere.

Make every metaphor functional and build it only from this style's own translucent-gradient material: blockers become a gradient stream pinched by three frosted glass cards that drain its color; change becomes a dull grey-lavender card stack sweeping through a gradient arrow into a violet AI lane and a mint check lane; steps become three tinted frosted cards floating in a gentle ascent; improvement becomes a ribbon loop of three gradient arcs around a pulsing orb; checks become one frosted board of oversized gradient check rows; roadmaps become a translucent wave path with frosted milestone platforms and a glowing goal orb; priority becomes four frosted quadrants with one brightened by a warm gradient and a soft star; daily use becomes three drifting time cards on a hue-shifting ribbon; recap becomes a central frosted launch card with three translucent action rows and soft halo 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: Prompt Soft Gradient.
Design DNA: full-canvas peach-lavender-powder-blue-mint gradient wash with blurred blobs and faint dot grids; huge flat Japanese gothic headline with soft halo, blue-violet opening word, navy body, coral-pink closing word; frosted translucent capsule holding the subline; ONE dominant diagram of large frosted glassmorphic cards with soft-3D pastel illustrations; gradient arrows and a translucent wave ribbon connecting them; exactly three white rounded label pills with circular gradient icon badges; sparkle motes and glowing orbs; translucent white-to-blue rounded takeaway band with rocket badge and gradient emphasis phrase; no hard black lines
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.
