# Monochrome solar system lesson

> A solar system lesson with Sun statistics, a planet lineup, outer-planet comparisons, an orbital diagram and a quiz, in monochrome geometric illustration and bold type. Claude Opus 5.5 built it through the Slides.com MCP server from one prompt.

## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Recreating this deck

This is a visual reference. No original creator prompt is available. The following brief was written by Reference after inspecting the work.

Use oversized cropped geometric illustrations as both subject imagery and containers for major statistics, as seen in the Sun slide. Alternate dark diagram-led slides with pale, ruled comparison layouts to create rhythm while retaining the same typography and fine-line vocabulary. Finish with a contrasting sidebar and a spacious numbered question grid. For a new subject, replace the planets, orbital geometry, facts, and questions with equally simplified subject-specific diagrams and verified content.

1. Open the live work or source and inspect the frame images below.
2. Adapt its layout, hierarchy, palette, and interaction patterns to the user's own content and brand.
3. Compare the result against the reference. Use your own assets and credit the original creator.

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the recording frames, not by the creator.

A minimalist solar-system lesson deck pairing concise astronomy facts with clean planetary diagrams and quiz questions.

- Color: Black and white with pale mint or off-white backgrounds and restrained gray accents.
- Type: Large, bold sans-serif headings with smaller, clean sans-serif labels and explanatory text.
- Framing: Sparse layouts balance prominent titles and fact panels with simple orbit diagrams, planet illustrations, and ordered lists.
- Structure: The presentation introduces the solar system, explains facts about the Sun and planets, compares planetary scale, covers the icy outer regions, and concludes with a knowledge check.

## How it was made, per the creator

- Notes: 'asked it to build a deck via our MCP server. one prompt, no follow up'. Self-reply: the MCP tool definitions guide structure and 'we have a slide screenshot tool so it can iterate visually'. Creator is co-founder of Slides.com and author of reveal.js.
