Locked token sheet (do not deviate)

nexu-io/open-design
A family history told through five decades of home movies — the opening question, the eras, and what the footage reveals. Built as a decision-grade story deck for family, close friends.

Quality breakdown
Based on traceable docs and repository signals; stars are not treated as quality.
A locked single-theme deck plugin: the retro-tv skin from the upstream
MIT-licensed lewislulu/html-ppt-skill
(36 themes × 31 layouts), shipped as one self-contained seed — example.html —
that carries the full token sheet, the broadcast decor devices, the slide
scaffold, and the keyboard runtime.
Start from example.html. Replace content only. Never rewrite the design
system or the runtime script. Never introduce colors or fonts outside this
spec.
Positioning vs. sibling retro-skeuomorphic plugins: this is the light
warm-cream picture-tube device — scanlines on a cream canvas, not on a black
screen. retro-windows is Win95 grey window chrome (title bars, bevels);
hermes is dark-background green-phosphor terminal CRT. The three device
systems are mutually exclusive — no dark backgrounds, no terminal language,
no window chrome here. Do not mix.

tokens only — never hard-code a color in slide markup.

Shadows are always the chunky tube pair — a hard 0 Npx 0 offset plus a
soft warm blur together. Never a plain flat or pure-black shadow.
Fonts come from Google Fonts @import only (Playfair Display, Inter,
Noto Sans SC, JetBrains Mono). No other external resource of any kind.
