Quick Reference

Default Workflow

Create

1. Gather vibe — Ask about mood, era, references, inspiration
2. Define colors — Primary (2+), accent, neutrals with hex values and roles
3. Set typography — Display, body, caption families + weight/style rules
4. Layout & motion — Grid system, transitions, pacing
5. Generate — Output complete

   visual-style.md

   using references/templates/minimal.visual-style.md or references/templates/full.visual-style.md
6. Preview — Show a small HTML swatch or describe the visual result
7. Optionally apply — Ask if user wants to use it with a connector

1. What's the vibe? (mood keywords, era, references)
2. Any specific colors? (or derive from the vibe?)
3. Typography preference? (clean, editorial, technical, playful?)
4. What tool will you use this with? (HeyGen, slides, paper.design, Figma?)

Extract

1. Receive source — URL, image, video, or PDF
2. Load extractor — Read the appropriate extractor reference file
3. Analyze — Identify colors, typography, layout, motion, mood
4. Generate — Output complete

   visual-style.md

   with

   source_url

   set
5. Validate — Ensure all required fields are present

Apply

1. Read the style — Load the

   visual-style.md

   file
2. Ask which connector — Or detect from context
3. Load connector — Read the appropriate connector reference file
4. Transform — Map style fields to tool-specific format
5. Generate output — Produce tool-ready instructions or code

Gallery

1. List styles — Show available styles from references/gallery/
2. Preview — Describe the selected style's visual character
3. Load — Read the full

   visual-style.md

4. Apply — Use with a connector

Best Practices

1. style_prompt_full

   is king — Always usable as a standalone generation prompt
2. One style, one file — No multi-style bundling
3. Assets are URLs — Never embed binary data
4. Show, don't tell — Generate previews when creating styles
5. Opinionated defaults, flexible extensions — Core schema is fixed;
