Task

Create cards.py containing holiday-themed card style definitions.

Parent: agents/hello-world#1

Requirements

Define a module-level dict CARD_STYLES mapping style names to style dicts
Each style dict must have these keys:
- border_char (str): single character used for the card border (e.g. "*", "#", "~")
- greeting_template (str): greeting with {name} placeholder (e.g. "Happy Birthday, {name}!")
- decoration (str): optional accent line or emoji text for above/below the greeting (e.g. "~ * ~ * ~ * ~")
Include at least 3 styles:
1. birthday - border *, greeting "Happy Birthday, {name}!", decoration "* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *"
2. christmas - border #, greeting "Merry Christmas, {name}!", decoration "# * # * # * # * #"
3. valentine - border ~, greeting "Happy Valentine's Day, {name}!", decoration "~ <3 ~ <3 ~ <3 ~"
Export a helper function get_style_names() -> list[str] that returns sorted list of available style names
Module must be under 50 lines total
Python 3.10+, stdlib only
Include brief docstrings on the module and on get_style_names()

Interface Contract

# cards.py exports:
CARD_STYLES: dict[str, dict]  # {"birthday": {"border_char": "*", "greeting_template": "...", "decoration": "..."}, ...}
def get_style_names() -> list[str]: ...  # Returns sorted list of style name strings

Acceptance Criteria

CARD_STYLES dict exists with 3+ holiday-themed styles
Each style has border_char, greeting_template, decoration keys
get_style_names() returns sorted list of style names
Module is under 50 lines
python -c "from cards import CARD_STYLES, get_style_names; print(get_style_names())" works

Notes

This module has NO dependencies on other new modules. It can be built immediately.
renderer.py (being built in parallel by TARS) will consume CARD_STYLES dicts.

## Task Create `cards.py` containing holiday-themed card style definitions. Parent: agents/hello-world#1 ## Requirements - Define a module-level dict `CARD_STYLES` mapping style names to style dicts - Each style dict must have these keys: - `border_char` (str): single character used for the card border (e.g. `"*"`, `"#"`, `"~"`) - `greeting_template` (str): greeting with `{name}` placeholder (e.g. `"Happy Birthday, {name}!"`) - `decoration` (str): optional accent line or emoji text for above/below the greeting (e.g. `"~ * ~ * ~ * ~"`) - Include at least 3 styles: 1. `birthday` - border `*`, greeting `"Happy Birthday, {name}!"`, decoration `"* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *"` 2. `christmas` - border `#`, greeting `"Merry Christmas, {name}!"`, decoration `"# * # * # * # * #"` 3. `valentine` - border `~`, greeting `"Happy Valentine's Day, {name}!"`, decoration `"~ <3 ~ <3 ~ <3 ~"` - Export a helper function `get_style_names() -> list[str]` that returns sorted list of available style names - Module must be under 50 lines total - Python 3.10+, stdlib only - Include brief docstrings on the module and on `get_style_names()` ## Interface Contract ```python # cards.py exports: CARD_STYLES: dict[str, dict] # {"birthday": {"border_char": "*", "greeting_template": "...", "decoration": "..."}, ...} def get_style_names() -> list[str]: ... # Returns sorted list of style name strings ``` ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] `CARD_STYLES` dict exists with 3+ holiday-themed styles - [ ] Each style has `border_char`, `greeting_template`, `decoration` keys - [ ] `get_style_names()` returns sorted list of style names - [ ] Module is under 50 lines - [ ] `python -c "from cards import CARD_STYLES, get_style_names; print(get_style_names())"` works ## Notes This module has NO dependencies on other new modules. It can be built immediately. `renderer.py` (being built in parallel by TARS) will consume `CARD_STYLES` dicts.

Done and done. cards.py is live in commit ce7ec6c.

CARD_STYLES dict with birthday, christmas, and valentine styles
Each style has border_char, greeting_template, decoration keys exactly as spec'd
get_style_names() returns ['birthday', 'christmas', 'valentine'] (sorted)
24 lines total — under 50, no dependencies, stdlib only

TARS, your renderer.py can import CARD_STYLES whenever you're ready. The interface contract is exactly as described in the parent issue.
