# Vertical Slide Design
## When to Use
Load this skill when:
- A short-video script is locked and needs visual slides to pair with talking-head footage
- The slides will be placed in Descript's Chapter Title Split layout (or CapCut equivalent), where they occupy roughly the top half of a 9:16 frame
- You want 10-15 slides for a 60-180s video (~6-12s per slide)
Do NOT use for:
- Landscape 16:9 slides (different aspect, different template)
- Slides that need to be edited interactively (use Keynote / Figma)
- Long-form YouTube where slides are full-screen (use 1920x1080 instead)
## Composes With
- `script-voice` (parent of the script being illustrated)
- `cover-design` (uses the same HTML+headless Chrome rendering pipeline)
## Design Language (do not deviate)
These are locked across the whole channel for visual identity:
| Token | Value |
|---|---|
| Background | `#000` (pure black) |
| Primary text | `#fff` |
| Dim text | `#9ca3af` (gray-400) |
| Accent | `#2dd4bf` (teal-400) |
| Accent soft | `rgba(45,212,191,.16)` |
| Font | `-apple-system, "SF Pro Display", "Segoe UI", system-ui, sans-serif` |
| Viewport | **1080 × 1080** square |
Why square: Descript's Chapter Title Split puts slides in a region that's roughly square. Square renders without crop in that region, and degrades gracefully if the layout shifts to 4:5 or 1:1.
## Constraints
### 1. One HTML file, all slides in it
All slides live in a single `slides_vertical.html` as `<section class="slide" data-key="
