NotebookLM Slide Styles Skill

This skill enables an AI assistant to translate visual identity and design documents into a standardized YAML format optimized for NotebookLM slide generation.

When to Trigger

• The user provides an image or a set of images and asks for the "style" or "design system".
• The user uploads a PDF or PPT and wants to replicate its layout/aesthetic for new slides.
• The user describes a theme (e.g., "Cyberpunk", "Eco-minimalism") and needs a design definition.
• The user explicitly mentions "NotebookLM slide YAML" or "Slide deck styles".

Workflow

1. Analyze Style Inputs

When visual or document inputs are provided, analyze the following aspects:

• Typography: Identify primary fonts (headings) and secondary/body fonts. Note the weights, letter spacing, and casing.
• Color Palette: Identify primary, secondary, and accent colors. Look for HEX codes or descriptive names. Identify background styles (solid, gradient, patterns).
• Key Visual Elements: Patterns, photography styles (e.g., minimalist, high contrast, warm lighting), icon styles, and layout characteristics (e.g., asymmetrical, grid-based).

2. Map to Slide Templates

Standardize the design across these common slide types:

• Cover: Main title, subtitle, background.
• Split Layouts: 50/50 or 40/60 image-text distributions.
• Lists & Processes: How headers and list items are visually organized.
• Timeline/Roadmap: Horizontal or grid-based flows.
• Profiles: Team/Founder introductions.
• Closings: Engaging final visuals.

3. Generate Image Prompts

Create a dedicated section for image generation AI (like Midjourney, DALL-E) or stock searches:

• Style Guidelines: Keywords for lighting, texture, and overall vibe.
• Themes: Specific prompts for abstract backgrounds, accent objects, and portraits.

4. Output Format

ALWAYS produce a valid YAML following this exact structure:

design_system:
  global_style:
    theme: "[Detailed description of the vibe]"
    typography: 
      primary_heading: "[Font name and style]"
      secondary_heading: "[Font name and style]"
      body_text: "[Font name and style]"
    color_palette:
      primary_color: "[HEX or Name]"
      background: "[HEX or pattern description]"
      text_main: "[HEX or Name]"
    key_visual_elements: 
      - "[Element 1 description]"
      - "[Element 2 description]"
 
  image_generation_prompts:
    style_guidelines: "[General AI photography/art guidance]"
    themes:
      - target: "[Target name, e.g., Abstract Background]"
        prompt_elements: "[Specific keywords for AI prompt]"
 
slide_layout_templates:
  - type: "[TemplateName]"
    usage: "[When to use it]"
    components:
      - "[Component 1 description]"
      - "[Component 2 description]"
