# Y2K Gloss Internet

Create complete 16:9 Japanese slide images in the Y2K Gloss Internet 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 violet-to-cyan gradient sky over a pale cyan wireframe grid floor with lens sparkles and four-point stars; the whole slide framed as a glossy OS window with a gradient title bar and beveled window buttons; fat chrome-beveled bubble headline letterforms in cyan and magenta gradients with black keylines and white specular highlights; rounded glossy capsule subline bars with chrome cursor arrows and pixel hourglasses; left toolbar palette of pastel pixel icons; glossy sub-windows with their own title bars and circled number badges; glossy gradient label buttons with chrome cursors; chrome gradient arrows; a right STATUS panel with segmented meters, pixel stars and hearts; a glossy dark blue bottom bar with LOADING and COMPLETE mini windows. 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: Y2K Gloss Internet — early-web Japanese slide staged as a glossy desktop screen. Design DNA: a holographic backdrop where a violet-to-cyan gradient sky sits above a pale cyan wireframe grid floor, dusted with lens sparkles and four-point stars; the entire slide is framed as one glossy operating-system window with a gradient title bar and small beveled minimize, maximize and close buttons at the top-right; the headline is set in fat bubble letterforms with a liquid-chrome bevel, part filled with a cyan-to-blue gradient and part with a hot magenta gradient, each glyph carrying a black keyline and a white specular highlight; the subline rides inside a rounded glossy blue-violet capsule bar with a chrome cursor arrow at its left and a pixel hourglass at its right; a vertical toolbar palette of pastel pixel icons — globe, envelope, ringed planet, folder, smiley — runs down the left edge; the main body is ONE dominant row of glossy sub-windows, each with its own gradient title bar and beveled window buttons, opened by a circled number badge (1 blue, 2 violet, 3 magenta) and filled with bright flat illustration; exactly three glossy gradient buttons sit at the foot of the sub-windows carrying the labels in white with a white chrome cursor pointing at them; chrome gradient arrows sit in the gaps; a right-hand STATUS panel stacks a pixel star, segmented progress meters and a pixel heart; the bottom is a glossy dark blue bar with the takeaway and a magenta emphasis phrase, flanked by a small LOADING window with a pixel progress bar and a COMPLETE window with pixel stars; palette chrome silver, cyan, magenta and violet; everything beveled, glossy and over-lit; flat vector illustration, no photo, no realistic people.

Make every metaphor functional: blockers become magenta error dialogs popped over one stalled progress bar; change becomes a cluttered region of overlapping gray dialogs facing two clean stacked sub-windows across a chrome seam; steps become glossy sub-windows joined by chrome gradient arrows; improvement becomes four windows circling a chrome refresh ring with a percentage meter; checks become one glossy dialog of oversized beveled checkboxes; roadmaps become a glossy progress rail with beveled milestone nodes and a segmented meter; priority becomes four beveled tiles where only the winning tile is lit with a magenta glow; daily use becomes a desktop strip under a chrome timeline rail tracked by the STATUS panel; recap becomes one glossy dialog of stacked action rows with a COMPLETE stamp. 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: Y2K Gloss Internet.
Design DNA: violet-to-cyan gradient sky over a cyan wireframe grid floor with sparkles; whole slide framed as a glossy OS window with gradient title bar and beveled buttons; fat chrome-beveled bubble headline in cyan and magenta gradients with black keylines; glossy capsule subline bar with chrome cursor and pixel hourglass; left pixel-icon toolbar; one dominant row of glossy sub-windows with circled number badges; exactly three glossy gradient label buttons with white chrome cursors; chrome gradient arrows; right STATUS panel with segmented meters and pixel stars; glossy dark blue bottom bar with LOADING and COMPLETE mini windows
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.
