## 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.

Requirements reported by the source: PPT Master skill (github.com/hugohe3/ppt-master); Agent that can run Python scripts; AI image generation for the illustrations.

## 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 a limited poster palette and pair expressive serif headlines with oversized sans-serif statistics. Carry subject-specific motifs into the information graphics: here, parallel rules resemble tracks, repeated train icons encode counts, and ticket-shaped labels support a historical milestone. Alternate illustrated moments with tables and charts to create rhythm, reserving red for the latest value or key contrast. For a new subject, replace the railway imagery, pictograms and historical figures while preserving the hierarchy and consistent accent logic.

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 captured walkthrough frames, not by the creator.

Retro Showa-inspired Shinkansen anniversary deck blending a poster-like title illustration with concise historical and data-focused slides.

- Color: Warm cream backgrounds with deep navy and cobalt blue, accented by muted yellow, orange, and occasional red.
- Type: Bold Japanese sans-serif headlines and large numerals, supported by smaller explanatory labels and captions.
- Framing: Clean editorial layouts with strong headline-and-statistic hierarchy; simple charts, tables, timeline elements, and a flat illustration of a Shinkansen train.
- Structure: Opens with an illustrated 60th-anniversary title, then presents key figures and historical comparisons, including service times, speeds, train frequency, and ridership, before closing on broader demographic context.

## How it was made, per the creator

- Notes: A fifteen-page Japanese public-lecture deck on the sixtieth anniversary of the Tokaido Shinkansen — the first Japanese example in the collection. The only input was the topic: facts came through topic research from JR Central's 2026 fact sheets, news releases from 2012, 2017 and 2024, the N700S vehicle page and a 2017 Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers article, several fetched as PDF URLs and converted by source_to_md, with every figure carrying its source and reference year and the speed / frequency / punctuality / safety framing marked as compiled. Free design in a Showa commemorative-poster look set in Yu Mincho and Yu Gothic; two native charts (Tokyo–Osaka travel time, passenger-km by fiscal year), one native rolling-stock table, twenty-one preset shapes, two Morph pairs with hero entrances, four AI illustrations from one batch (arched cover, rounded 1964 window, a duotone derivative behind the safety chapter, a circular crop on the next-sixty-years page), nine native source hyperlinks, and Japanese speaker notes throughout.
