The symptom is a deck that looks roughly on-brand but will not update when the theme changes, because every fill is a fixed hex value pasted in by hand. Run this in Stage 2, after the structure is clean, so that the later palette and re-theme work has something to act on. ## What it does It rebinds fills, lines, and text colors to the theme's named color slots (text and background, the six accents, and the hyperlink colors), so the deck is wired to the theme. After this skill, changing the theme color set recolors the deck correctly, and the Brand Palette Guard and Reskin-to-Template Converter skills can do their job. ## Method A PowerPoint theme defines twelve color slots: Text 1, Text 2, Background 1, Background 2, Accent 1 through Accent 6, Hyperlink, and Followed Hyperlink.
