## CSS Generation Guidelines

### Base Styles

Start with a solid foundation:

```css
/* Reset and base styles */
* {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

:root {
    /* Color palette */
    --color-primary: [from brand guide or #2563eb];
    --color-secondary: [from brand guide or #7c3aed];
    --color-text: #1f2937;
    --color-text-light: #6b7280;
    --color-background: #ffffff;
    --color-surface: #f9fafb;
    --color-border: #e5e7eb;

    /* Typography */
    --font-primary: [from brand guide or -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', ...];
    --font-mono: 'SF Mono', Monaco, 'Cascadia Code', monospace;

    /* Spacing */
    --spacing-xs: 0.25rem;
    --spacing-sm: 0.5rem;
    --spacing-md: 1rem;
    --spacing-lg: 1.5rem;
    --spacing-xl: 2rem;
    --spacing-2xl: 3rem;

    /* Layout */
    --max-width: 1200px;
    --border-radius: 0.5rem;
}

body {
    font-family: var(--font-primary);
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 1.6;
    color: var(--color-text);
    background-color: var(--color-background);
}
```

### Typography Scale

Create a clear typographic hierarchy:

```css
h1 {
    font-size: 2.5rem;
    font-weight: 700;
    line-height: 1.2;
    margin-bottom: var(--spacing-lg);
}

h2 {
    font-size: 2rem;
    font-weight: 600;
    line-height: 1.3;
    margin-bottom: var(--spacing-md);
    margin-top: var(--spacing-xl);
}

h3 {
    font-size: 1.5rem;
    font-weight: 600;
    line-height: 1.4;
    margin-bottom: var(--spacing-md);
    margin-top: var(--spacing-lg);
}

h4 {
    font-size: 1.25rem;
    font-weight: 600;
    line-height: 1.4;
    margin-bottom: var(--spacing-sm);
}

p {
    margin-bottom: var(--spacing-md);
}

strong {
    font-weight: 600;
    color: var(--color-primary);
}

mark {
    background-color: #fef3c7;
    padding: 0.125rem 0.25rem;
    border-radius: 0.25rem;
}
```

### Navigation Styles

Create sticky, accessible navigation:

```css
nav {
    position: sticky;
    top: 0;
    background-color: var(--color-background);
    border-bottom: 2px solid var(--color-border);
    z-index: 100;
    box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}

.nav-container {
    max-width: var(--max-width);
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: var(--spacing-md) var(--spacing-lg);
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    align-items: center;
}

.presentation-title {
    font-size: 1.25rem;
    font-weight: 600;
}

.nav-links {
    list-style: none;
    display: flex;
    gap: var(--spacing-md);
}

.nav-links a {
    color: var(--color-text-light);
    text-decoration: none;
    padding: var(--spacing-sm) var(--spacing-md);
    border-radius: var(--border-radius);
    transition: all 0.2s;
}

.nav-links a:hover {
    color: var(--color-primary);
    background-color: var(--color-surface);
}
```

### Section Styles

Style presentation sections:

```css
main {
    max-width: var(--max-width);
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: var(--spacing-2xl) var(--spacing-lg);
}

.presentation-section {
    margin-bottom: var(--spacing-2xl);
    padding: var(--spacing-xl);
    background-color: var(--color-surface);
    border-radius: var(--border-radius);
    box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
}

.section-subtitle {
    font-size: 1.125rem;

### Colors

- Primary font family
- Heading font (if different)
- Font weights used
- Line height preferences

### Visual Style
- Border radius preferences (sharp vs rounded)

## Quality Standards

Your CSS should:

- Be well-organized with clear sections
- Use CSS custom properties (variables)
- Include responsive breakpoints
