01Why this is Part II
Without a brand file, every deck is a new personality. DESIGN.md (or equivalent brand markdown) is the small contract the agent must load before layout. Open Design is built around design systems; even a one-page markdown file is enough to start.
02Minimum DESIGN.md (copy and fill)
# DESIGN.md — [Brand / project name] ## Color - bg: #... - surface: #... - text: #... - accent: #... - Rules: accent only for CTAs and key numbers; never for body text. ## Type - Display: [family] — titles - Body: [family] — paragraphs - Mono: [family] — code / labels - Sizes: H1 / H2 / body / caption (name them; avoid random sizes) ## Logo - Path: brand/logo.svg (or note “wordmark only”) - Clear space: [...] - Do not stretch; do not recolor off-palette. ## Voice Do: - [...] - [...] - [...] Don't: - hype adjectives (revolutionary, seamless, leverage) - [...] - [...] ## Slide components - Title slide: [layout rules] - Body slide: max [N] bullets; prefer one diagram - Quote slide: [rules] ## Forbidden - Stock-photo clichés you hate: [...] - Fonts not listed above

If the agent ignores DESIGN.md, your prompt did not force the path. Quote the absolute path and “refuse styles not in the file.”
Proof of completion
brand/DESIGN.md exists; you regenerated one slide with only “follow DESIGN.md”; changelog notes what matched and what still failed.
