Design Principles (enforced automatically)

  • No decorative stripe accents (AI-generated tell)

  • No cream/beige defaults

  • No accent underlines under titles

  • Cards use shadow + tint, never edge borders

  • Safe font stack (Calibri, Cambria, Bookman Old Style)

  • Minimum 0.5" margins throughout

  • Every layout has a visual element — no text-only slides
