What Sakura Chroma does

Sakura Chroma is a specialized HTML deck designed for creating visually striking travel photo essays, particularly those themed around cherry blossom season in Kyoto. This skill provides a cohesive design system that includes typography, color palettes, and decorative elements, all inspired by vintage Japanese cassette packaging. Users can expect a low-formality, medium-density presentation style that evokes a nostalgic aesthetic, making it suitable for personal stories, travel narratives, and creative presentations.

The skill is built around a single, self-contained HTML deck that emphasizes the importance of maintaining its unique design language. Users are guided to clone the provided example file, replace placeholder content with their own, and adhere strictly to the established design rules. This ensures that the final output retains the intended visual identity, which features bold typography and a vibrant color scheme reminiscent of retro product catalogs.

Ideal for indie brands, music labels, and creative studios, Sakura Chroma is perfect for anyone looking to present their stories with a playful yet polished touch. The skill is particularly effective for projects that benefit from a tactile, printed-product personality, making it an excellent choice for zine pitches, product launches, and annual reports. However, it is not suitable for more restrained or corporate presentations, as its design elements are intentionally loud and eye-catching.

Users should be aware that while the skill allows for some customization in terms of content and slide length, it requires strict adherence to the original design system. This includes not altering fonts, colors, or layout structures, ensuring that the final product remains true to its intended aesthetic and functional purpose.

Sakura Chroma

Vintage Japanese cassette-package aesthetic: cream paper, diagonal rainbow ribbons, condensed bold type, JIS-style spec checkboxes.

A single self-contained HTML deck — typography, palette, decorative system, and slide vocabulary are all tuned together. Mixing layouts across templates breaks the system; stay inside this one.

At a glance

  • Scheme: light
  • Formality: low
  • Density: medium
  • Slides in demo: 8

Best for

Anything that should feel like a vintage Japanese cassette package or a TDK / Sony / Sakura Color product catalogue: indie hardware brand decks, music-label release schedules, analog studio retrospectives, zine and magazine pitches, kawaii-tech product launches, creative-studio annual reports. Equally good for any deck wanting bold colour, condensed display type, and a tactile printed-product personality.

Avoid for

Decks that need restrained, corporate, or quiet typography — the bold condensed lockups, ribbon stripes, and primary-colour palette are intentionally loud and product-page-y.

Workflow

  1. Clone example.html into the user's workspace as the working file.
  2. Replace placeholder content with the user's real headlines, body copy, numbers, names, dates, and section labels. Match existing dimensions when swapping image placeholders.
  3. Preserve the design system. Never substitute fonts, recolor the palette, restructure the layout grid, or strip decorative elements (corner brackets, paper grain, geometric shapes, illustrated SVGs). They are part of the identity.
  4. Adjust deck length by duplicating layouts. If the user has more content than the demo holds, duplicate an existing slide of the most appropriate layout. If less, drop slides from the bottom. Update page-number labels.
  5. Designing missing layouts: if a slide needs a layout the template doesn't have, design it from scratch using the same fonts, palette, decorative vocabulary, spacing rhythm, and component grammar — never bail to a different template.
  6. Keep the navigation runtime as shipped. If the deck ships an assets/deck-stage.js or inline keyboard handler, leave it intact.
