The slide system was described by whose presentation style inspired it. That attribution is obsolete, and the repo already said so: skills/slide-design/SKILL.md records that the decks it described are retired and superseded by branded-content-base.html. The name outlived the thing it named.

3 files, +9 −9.

Both spellings, which is the part worth reading

The sweep covers the English Hormozi-style and the Spanish estilo Hormozi in README.md.

That second one is the interesting failure: a grep for the English form returns clean while the concept is still there in another language. Same idea, two spellings, only one of them findable by the obvious search.

What replaces it

Not a different name — the principles themselves, standing on their own merit: extreme clarity, zero decoration, surgical use of colour, one idea per slide.

The 35-40% image-density rule kept its number and lost its justification-by-authority. This is the Hormozi industry standard became the actual reason: pure text decks read as corporate training. A rule that cites a person is only as durable as that person's relevance; a rule that cites its consequence survives.

Deliberately not touched

_research/ material naming Hormozi as a person whose reasoning style is worth studying, and any citation of $100M Offers as a source work. Those attribute a published book and a person. Only the visual-style attribution is retired — the companion PR in dojo-academy (DOJ-6144) draws the same line over 10 book citations in learner-facing content.

Closes DOJ-6143

Created by Claude Code on behalf of @lapc506

The slide system is no longer described by whose presentation style inspired
it. `skills/slide-design/SKILL.md` already records that the decks it replaced
are retired and superseded by `branded-content-base.html`, so the attribution
had outlived the thing it attributed.

Scope is the slide-style attribution ONLY. Both spellings were swept: the
English `Hormozi-style` and the Spanish `estilo Hormozi` in README.md — the
second is the one a grep for the English form silently misses.

The principles the system actually runs on are kept and now stand on their own
merit rather than on a name: extreme clarity, zero decoration, surgical use of
colour, one idea per slide. The "industry standard" appeal to authority behind
the 35-40% image-density rule is replaced by its actual reason (pure text decks
read as corporate training).

Deliberately NOT touched: `_research/` references naming Hormozi as a person to
study, and any citation of "$100M Offers" as a source work. Those are
attribution of a published book, not of a visual style.

Summary of Review

This PR successfully removes obsolete references to 'Hormozi' / 'Hormozi-style' from the slide design system documentation, replacing authority-based justification with the core design principles themselves (e.g., extreme clarity, minimal decoration, and pacing rules).

Reviewed Areas & Files:

  • README.md: Verified command and skill descriptions.
  • commands/slides-generate.md: Reviewed HTML generation prompts and mapping rules.
  • skills/slide-design/SKILL.md: Checked slide design philosophy and image density guidelines.

Safety Rationale:
This is a purely documentation/markdown-based update that does not alter any code or logic, making it completely safe to merge.

Verdict:
Approved — 0 blockers, 2 P3.

Walkthrough

⚠️ Governance Warning: This PR targets the main branch directly. Under the repo's GitFlow process, branches should normally target develop before migrating to main. This warning is informational only.

Walkthrough

This PR removes obsolete references and attributions to Alex Hormozi's visual style from the slide design system across README.md, commands/slides-generate.md, and skills/slide-design/SKILL.md. The core design rules (such as the 35–40% image density rule) are kept intact but justified on their own pedagogical and stylistic merits.

Reviewed Files

  • README.md: Verified the complete deletion of "estilo Hormozi" in Spanish prose.
  • commands/slides-generate.md: Audited the updated instructions for the /slides-generate command.
  • skills/slide-design/SKILL.md: Audited the core slide-design principles and rules.

Safety Rationale

This is a safe, documentation-only and prompt-only change with zero impact on executable code or Layer 1 invariants.

Verdict

Approved — 0 blockers, 2 P3.

🔵 P3 — Minor

  • commands/slides-generate.md:148 — 🔵 P3 (minor) — The word 'standard' on the next line is an orphan left over from the previous phrasing ('this is the Hormozi industry standard'). Leaving it in place results in an ungrammatical and confusing sentence: 'pure text decks read as corporate training standard.'

[pass 1]

  • commands/slides-generate.md:284 — 🔵 P3 (minor) — A duplicate word 'the' has been introduced due to the line break ('enforce the' at the end of line 283 and 'the mapping rules' on line 284).
