Docs sync · 4 verbs · 65 gates · stills replace videos
The README and SKILL.md had drifted out of sync with the current slop-test.md (now 65 gates) and the verb state (refine was removed; audit · redesign · study + default = four verbs total). - README: revert lingering "refine" references; verb count 5 → 4 - README: gate count 55/60 → 65 across body + side notes - README: section title "Eight pages, eight different shapes" → "Different briefs, different shapes" — the old phrasing implied the skill could only produce these eight specific sites - README: replace eight <video src=...mp4> tags with <img> stills (first-frame extracts via ffmpeg from the existing .mp4 files; no autoplay overhead, faster page render on the readme view) - SKILL.md: drop "refine" from the frontmatter trigger description; sync "55-gate" → "65-gate" across routing file + stamp examples No version bump — pure documentation drift catching up to the current rule-set state.

Skill trigger · narrow to explicit verbs only
Description was firing on broad catch-alls — "design a", "build a
landing page", "make a dashboard", and the universal trap "any
request that will produce HTML / CSS / JSX / Tailwind output". Net
effect: Hallmark hijacked generic UI prompts that should have gone
to frontend-design or whatever else is loaded.
Tightened to four conditions:
1. User explicitly names a verb — audit · refine · redesign · study
2. User says a UI "feels AI-generated" / "looks templated" / "looks
like every other AI page", or asks to "make it less AI-generated"
3. User attaches a screenshot of a design they admire (study verb)
4. User invokes by name — "use Hallmark" or /hallmark
Added an explicit DO-NOT list — "design a button", "build me a form",
"add a navbar" — pointing those at frontend-design or other UI skills.
Hallmark stays proactive (matches the peer-skill convention) but the
phrase list is on-purpose, not catch-all. Skill discoverability
preserved; default-builder behaviour removed.

Design-context gate · tighten the "always ask" rule
The previous wording said "almost always asks" with two carve-outs, and the "user already named all three" exception let the model skip the gate on five-word briefs by wishfully reading "podcast site" as audience+use+tone. Removed that exception. The only silent verbs are now audit / study / redesign --mood. Updated the prompt format to match the canonical 1-2-3 layout (Audience · Use case · Tone) with bolded labels. Added an explicit no-length-threshold clause: short briefs get the same gate, the user waves through with "go ahead". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Anti-pattern · eyebrow on every section
Default to no section eyebrow. Use one only when the section is genuinely ordinal (numbered manifesto, multi-step process, long document chapters) or when the section name is too short to read as a heading on its own. At most 1–2 per page. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

OG meta — use absolute image URL so Slack/Twitter unfurl
Slack and most OG scrapers silently drop relative og:image paths. Switched og:image + twitter:image to the deployed absolute URL, added og:url, og:site_name, image:type/width/height, and a secure_url twin so every scraper has what it needs to render a large-image card.

Cleanup — drop ~3.5 MB of orphan media + dead test pages
Orphan thumbs (referenced nowhere): 8 example PNGs, 5 hero JPGs, 4 verb-* PNGs, audit-slop.png, 2.2 MB crypto-example.mp4. Dead pages: refine verb test (verb removed earlier), v0 example specimens (_example-bakery, _example-cmdk), docs/img theme PNGs, skill/_tests/nav-footer-variety. Updated verbs/README and ROADMAP to drop the now-broken references. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Examples reorder · audit beautified · Before/After section · section labels stacked · display max tightened
· Examples-rail order: SaaS → wayfare → slow-pour → BananaStudio (moved
from 1st to 4th) → tracejam → anya-loop video (was static) → Najm-loop
(was Foundry static) → Soroe-loop (was Cohort static). Five videos +
three statics now. Five MP4s re-encoded to web (CRF 23–27, +faststart,
no audio).
· Audit demo: swapped the gradient slop placeholder for the new
audit-example.png. Caption removed (no longer reads as "actual slop").
· Redesign uractivation video: dropped data-hover-play so it autoplays
on every device (was hover-only on desktop).
· Footer: "Powered by" → "Made by" (re: the Together AI credit). Base
credit line now left-aligned across all viewports.
· Section labels: forced single-column section heads in every theme via
`.section__head, [data-theme] .section__head { grid-template-columns:
1fr !important }`. Linen + Almanac left-gutter overrides removed —
every section reads label-above-title now.
· Section pulls: deleted every `<a class="section__pull">` ("See the
verbs", "Read the rules", etc.) plus 67 lines of associated CSS. The
banner already provides Install + GitHub; no per-section nav needed.
· Per-theme demo captions ("Lap 1", "Plate I", "Frame 01", etc.)
removed — they appeared in the wrong section ("Lap 1" showed under
Study) and added clutter.
· Display max font sizes tightened across every theme token. Largest
caps were 13rem (Manifesto Anton) → 9rem; multiple 7.5–8rem caps
pulled down to 6.25–6.5rem. Skill-side typography.md now emits
`clamp(2.75rem, 5vw + 1rem, 5.25rem)` as the default --text-display.
· New section: Before / After Hallmark, after Foundations.
Same prompt ("/hallmark build a landing page for The Quiet Hour — a
weekly natural-wine dispatch from Lisbon") run two ways:
- Sonnet 4.6 alone → gradient AI slop (before-quiet-hour.png)
- Sonnet 4.6 + Hallmark → editorial dispatch (after-quiet-hour.png)
Hairline-framed panels with mono prompt at top, italic-serif captions.

Examples-section overhaul · audit static image · redesign uractivation diptych · hover-play videos · Specimen left-align
· Examples cards: dropped 01–08 numbers, dropped Banana Studio / Modern SaaS /
etc. titles + subheaders, dropped the 5-row hover trail popover. Each card
now shows a single mono line: "$ /hallmark build <prompt>". Removed the
"Open any card →" hint from the section intro.
· Replaced cards 03 (Maple) + 04 (Meridian) with the new wayfare-loop.mp4
+ slow-pour-loop.mp4 videos. Re-encoded all four MP4s for web (CRF 23,
+faststart, no audio). wayfare downscaled from 4K to 1080p (9.3 MB → 2 MB).
· Audit demo: swapped the inline CSS gradient slop card for a static
audit-slop.png (1024×640 capture of the same card). Cleaner DOM, same
visual. Caption "Specimen — actual AI slop, untouched" stays.
· Redesign demo: before = example-redesign-uractivation.png, after =
uractivation-after-loop.mp4 (looped video). Diptych CSS extended to
style <video> identically to <img>.
· Hover-play behaviour: videos with data-hover-play start paused on
hover-capable devices (desktop) and only play while hovered/focused.
On touch devices (no hover), the autoplay attribute keeps them
looping continuously — pages read as moving showcases on mobile.
· Specimen: section-pull CTAs ("Read the rules", "See named tells")
now flush left like every other CTA on that theme. Override only on
[data-theme="specimen"]; other themes keep right-aligned pulls.

Five fresh Hallmark test pages — varied macros + themes for launch examples
Each is a self-contained HTML, no shared CSS, no shared layout. Five different macrostructures, five different themes, no overlap with the existing 8 tests (01–08) or with each other. · 09 Slow Pour — Marquee Hero · Atelier (italic Cormorant + bean SVG) small-batch coffee subscription · warm, hand-set, editorial · 10 Owl Hours — Manifesto · Aurora (Geist + cyan accent on dark) late-night writing app · austere, after-dark · 11 Soroe — Long Document · Studio (italic Fraunces + 6 vessel SVGs) ceramics studio in Nara · quiet, handmade, archival · 12 Loafer — Bento Grid · Pastel (Geist + indigo on cream, leaf SVG) plant-care app · soft, friendly, restrained · 13 Alma — Quote-Led · Halo (Geist + amber on charcoal, pulsing dot) voice journal · atmospheric, intimate All five pass the pre-emit critique (P5+ across all 6 axes), use real metrics only (no fabricated stats), reference tokens by name, and have mobile breakpoints. None re-draw browser/phone chrome. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Pre-launch cleanup — drop dead footer/hero CSS, archived templates, unused fonts + MP4 originals
· Footer: stripped Ft1–Ft4 archetypes (.foot--masthead, .foot--inline, .foot--index, .foot--dense) + their helper classes (.foot__tagline, .foot__links, .foot__powered, .foot__col-head, .foot__wordmark-small, .foot__sep, .foot__credits) — every theme uses .foot--colophon now. · Hero: dropped H6 Photographic, H7 Clipped, H8 Specimen archetype blocks (404 lines of CSS) plus per-theme overrides on .hero__photo, .hero__photo-grid, .hero__mock, .hero--clipped — no theme references any of these archetypes after the recent reroutes. · Templates: removed `<template id="section-04-archive-without-with">`, `<template id="section-05-archive-foundations-tabs">` (revertibility archives — superseded), and the three dead hero templates. · Local fonts: deleted site/fonts/the-future-*.woff2 (8 files) and the empty site/fonts/ directory. Geist + Geist Mono cover all type roles. · Media: dropped the unprocessed BananaStudio-example.mp4, Podcast-example.mp4, SaaS-example.mp4 — only the -loop.mp4 versions are referenced. · main.js: removed buildDenseColophon() helper (dense colophon never rendered after the unified footer rework). Total: ~930 lines removed. No visual regression. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Footer rework · per-theme reverts · examples non-clickable · numbered dropdown
· Footer rewritten as an editorial colophon: massive Hallmark wordmark
on a baseline-aligned masthead row + 3-column meta grid (Currently In /
In the Catalog / Read or take a copy) + centered powered-by line.
Generous whitespace, hairline-divided stat rows, theme-aware via tokens.
Specificity bumped (.foot.foot--colophon) so the new grid layout beats
the legacy .foot { grid-template-columns: 1fr auto } from sections.css.
· Reverted hero moments per request: dropped the SPECIMEN ℋ glyph,
Garden leaf, Linen woven dot grid, Salon fleuron, Almanac date stamp,
and the Coral solid accent block + Violet alternating section tint.
· Brutal hero archetype: photographic → marquee. Removed the 6-image
gallery + the related photo-grid CSS overrides.
· Bloom hero: centered (text-align + margin-inline auto on display/lede,
justify-self center on CTA). Other Bloom sections stay left-aligned.
· Examples cards: <a href> → <div>, dropped the "Open ↗" labels +
ex-card__open CSS, removed hover-transform/scale rules. Cards are now
visual-only — the trail popover still appears on hover but no click.
· Theme dropdown: 22px colored squares replaced with 34px tiles that
show the theme's # in mono inside, theme accent stripe along bottom.
Re-ordered to match the THEMES object order (specimen=01,
midnight=02, brutal=03, … editorial=23) so the indicator's "N / 23"
matches the dropdown position.

Drop Roman numerals from skills section · perfect left-alignment
· Removed the 4 .skill-row__num spans (I/II/III/IV) from index.html. · Collapsed .skill-row__head from 4rem 1fr two-column grid to single column — section labels, verb headings, and body content all hang from the same left content edge now. · Dropped the 4rem padding-inline-start from .skill-row__body and .skill-row__body--full so demo content aligns with the verb title above it (was previously indented to clear the numeral gutter). · Removed the .skill-row__num base + per-theme override blocks from sections.css since the markup no longer exists.

Phase D — Hero rework · 12 per-theme right-side moments · archetype swaps · 11 per-theme polishes
D1 — hero__moment slot for marquee/letter/quote/stat archetypes. 12 themes
(specimen, terminal, manifesto, aurora, garden, linen, atelier, salon,
riso, midnight, almanac, sport) opt in via per-theme rules. Each gets
a small typographic or geometric moment in the right column:
· specimen — italic ℋ glyph in a hairline-bordered foundry plate
· terminal — phosphor "[ █ ]" prompt block
· manifesto — "NO\\nSLOP." in red Anton
· aurora — soft secondary radial accent
· garden — leaf SVG in coral accent
· linen — woven-texture 8×8 dot grid in a hairline frame
· atelier — italic Roman "I" in a card with "PLATE I" caption
· salon — fleuron + hairline + italic "À table" caption
· riso — two overlapping cyan/yellow circles, off-register duotone
· midnight — concentric rings + glowing centre dot
· almanac — date stamp box "MMVI · ed. 02 · no. 23"
· sport — three-bar lap chart in accent
D2 — Studio swaps photographic → letter (had duplicated Brutal); Pastel
swaps clipped → bloom (drops the AI-default dashboard mock).
D3 — Per-theme polishes:
· Brutal photo grid 6 → 2 imgs
· Quiet sign-up form replaced with single italic note + hairline
· Bloom paper inverted dark → light cream so warm wash reads bright;
ink/rule/accent re-balanced for the new lightness ladder
· Coral solid accent block bottom-left distinguishes from Bloom
· Violet alternating sections get faint accent tint
· Aurora bloom punctuates each section title (not just hero)
· Halo orbit grid 1fr/1fr → 1fr/0.7fr — orbit closer to copy
· Plume — feather glyph SVG in bottom-right of bloom hero
· Midnight stat "00" → "23, themes, dark-set first" — honest copy
· Editorial — giant "XXIII" Roman numeral in right column
· Manifesto — 6 oversized declarative phrases ("NO GRADIENTS.",
"TYPE FIRST.", etc.) cycled between sections via :nth-of-type

Phase C — Audit slop framing · Per-theme demo frames across 23 themes
· Audit slop card now wears a "Specimen — actual AI slop, untouched" caption above it (mono caps, theme-coloured) so the gradient reads as a quoted artifact, not a card competing with the page. · Dark / charged themes (midnight, manifesto, halo, aurora, riso, terminal, brutal) tint the slop card via filter saturate(0.55) brightness(0.82). The card still reads as AI slop — purpose retained — but no longer wins the visual contest. · .brief-output now responds to theme. Hard-edge group (brutal/manifesto/ terminal/newsprint/editorial) → 0 radius, heavier border. Slight-radius (sport/almanac/garden/halo/violet/studio) → 4–6px. Soft-card (quiet/ coral/aurora/pastel/plume/bloom) → 8–14px with optional accent shadow. Riso → duotone 3px-offset accent shadow. Midnight → inset glow ring. Halo → amber glow halo. Aurora → accent glow. · Editorial-register themes (atelier, salon, almanac, studio, sport) get a small label above each demo: "Plate I", "Specimen — i", "Fig. 01 — 2026 ed.", "Frame 01", "Lap 1". Same media, theme-aware foundry plate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

7949e060f7 |
Phase B — Banner per-theme shape/voice · Almanac §-heads · Terminal varied prefix · Linen hanging heading
· .banner__install + .banner__star + .banner__theme-indicator now react to theme. Hard-edge group (brutal, manifesto, terminal, newsprint, editorial) → 0 radius. Slight-radius group (sport, almanac) → 4px. Soft-card group (garden, halo, violet, studio) → 6px. Off-register stamp (riso) → 2px + duotone shadow. Editorial themes (atelier, salon) get italic serif install copy. Manifesto + Brutal use display font + 2px border. Terminal goes mono. Pastel keeps full pill but with a softer shadow. The banner now rebuilds when you switch theme. · Almanac claims to be indexed — section labels prepend § (red accent) so labels read "§ 02 ⁄ EXAMPLES". · Terminal cycles 4 prompt prefixes by section (>, //, #, --) instead of repeating the same character. · Linen section heads now hang the label in a 12rem left gutter with the title in the body column — reads like a printed manuscript margin note. Mobile collapses to single column. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Phase A — Roman numerals bigger, Sport honest stat, Garden contrast, Salon fleuron, Atelier dividers
· .skill-row__num bumped from text-2xl to clamp(3.5rem, 5vw + 0.5rem, 6rem), color from --color-rule-2 to --color-muted. Mono-override theme group scaled to clamp(3rem, 4.5vw + 0.4rem, 5rem). Numerals now read as proper chapter markers, not muted afterthoughts. · Sport stat fixture: invented "+47 %" / "FASTER · DECIDE LATE." replaced with honest "23" / "THEMES · TWO GENRES DEEP." — restores the no-fabricated- metrics discipline. · Garden tokens: bumped --color-ink, --color-ink-2, --color-muted, --color-rule set toward darker olive — body lede now reads against the pale-green paper. · Salon fleuron: 1.1rem opacity 0.65 → 1.7rem opacity 0.85 with a hairline divider rule above it. Reads as a divider, not a stray glyph. · Atelier section rhythm: sections now separated by --space-3xl negative space; section-pull arrow's top rule removed. Quiet register, no rules.

Drop The Future / The Future Mono · drop refine verb · Build/Study/Examples media
Replace The Future + The Future Mono everywhere with Geist + Geist Mono — both local fonts had a single-storey hooked "a" by design, not by faux italic. Strip the @font-face declarations + preload links. Halo dropdown z-index leak fixed. Editorial hero proof block strips down to just the CTA. Atelier + Salon now left-aligned. Skill-row / hero / examples ledes unified to roman serif (italic removed from every body / lede / intro role to kill the curly italic "a"). Refine verb removed everywhere: SKILL.md, README, landing site, references. Ask-questions discipline strengthened — Step 1 now always asks, optional answers. Build subsection wires Podcast loop video; Study uses Calendly screenshot with re-written DNA fields; Worked-examples 1+2 use Banana Studio + Modern SaaS loops in place of static thumbs. Landing-page rebrand reverted everywhere. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Drop IBM Plex Sans (the weird-a font) · Manifesto line-height · star button gold + tighter
The font I should have removed three asks ago is **IBM Plex Sans**. Distinctive double-storey lowercase "a" with a curly tail that the user keeps flagging as unreadable. Used in four themes — all replaced: newsprint label : "Inter", "The Future" manifesto body : "Inter", "Public Sans", "The Future" linen display : "Hanken Grotesk", "Inter" linen body : "Hanken Grotesk", "Inter" almanac display : "Hanken Grotesk", "Inter" almanac body : "Hanken Grotesk", "Inter", "The Future" Hanken Grotesk added to the Google Fonts stylesheet (was only in fallback chains, not actually loaded). Inter was already loaded. MANIFESTO HERO LINE-HEIGHT — Anton is a tall narrow condensed display face. At the default 1.02 tight line-height, "THE / DESIGN / SKILL." stacked with no breathing room. Bumped to 1.05 for the manifesto hero display only — gives the multi-line headline visual rhythm without going soft. GITHUB STAR BUTTON — three changes: · **Icon colour** → `#f5b300` (golden yellow, GitHub-star canon) instead of the active theme's accent. The star is a brand mark, theme-independent. Stays yellow on hover too. · **Default count** "0" instead of "—" placeholder. The fetch still runs in the background (cached 1h); on success the count updates. On failure the "0" stays put. · **Closer to Install** — `margin-inline-start: calc(-1 * var(--space-md) + 0.25rem)` pulls the star back against the banner's flex gap so the two read as a paired CTA. Other banner spacing untouched. Mobile: at <50rem the Install pill hides (existing rule); the star stays visible and takes the CTA role. At <36rem the star's internal padding tightens further. No layout shift. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Worked-examples first-card aligns with header · skill: N10 Floating-on-scroll nav
Two changes in one pass — site polish + skill expansion. SITE: Worked-examples rail's first card now aligns with the section header on initial paint. Was: rail used `padding-inline: var(--page-gutter)` (~20 px), so Tide started flush against the viewport's left gutter — out of column with the "02 / EXAMPLES" label and "Worked examples." title above it. Now uses `padding-inline: max(var(--page-gutter), calc((100vw - var(--page-max)) / 2 + var(--page-gutter)))` so the first card's left edge matches the page-content edge. As the user scrolls horizontally, cards traverse the full bleed (right edge unchanged — still extends to viewport). Trailing `::after` spacer also uses the new `--rail-edge` so the last card snaps to matching content edge. SKILL: Added N10 Floating-on-scroll morph to the nav archetype catalogue plus a dedicated `references/floating-nav.md` recipe. The pattern: one DOM with two layers — `.nav` (outer) owns the default bar visuals, `.nav__inner` (inner) owns the floating pill visuals — cross-faded on a single `.is-floating` class toggle past a scroll threshold. Documents the four laws Hallmark refuses to break: 1. Total nav height stays constant (compensate inner shrink with outer padding-block math), or content below jitters. 2. Visible offset uses `transform: translateY()`, never margin or padding (those trigger layout and break Law 1). 3. Cross-fade ownership of every shared visual property (background, border, backdrop-filter, box-shadow). Forget one and you get ghost effects. 4. Single timing curve across every transitioning property — `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)` at ~520 ms. Eight curves reads as eight animations. Plus the property morph table (10 properties, one curve), the scroll-handler script with passive listener + rAF throttle + boolean-flip guard, and an 8-item slop list (the AI-default mistakes Hallmark must not emit). N10's cookbook entry links to floating-nav.md and stays brief — the deep recipe lives in one focused reference file (~80 lines). Skill grew by ~95 lines; one new file, one updated entry.

Footer — top-align Hallmark wordmark, larger gap on desktop
Two small footer tweaks: · `.foot--colophon` switches `align-items: stretch` → `flex-start` so all three columns top-align. Before, the wordmark was centered vertically inside its column which read as a floating signature; now it sits at the same baseline as the prose's first line. · Inter-column `gap` bumped from `var(--space-2xl)` (4rem) to `var(--space-4xl)` (10rem). The wordmark now has real breathing room from the prose paragraphs on desktop. Mobile stack unaffected. · Explicit `align-self: flex-start` on the mark column belt-and- braces against any later flex `align-self` overrides per theme.

Three new hero archetypes — Specimen, Plume, Halo
The default Specimen and the two themes that previously used the
fake-browser-dashboard mockup (Plume + Halo) now each get a
distinctive hero composition that delivers a real "wow" moment.
· **Specimen → hero-specimen.** Two-column. Left keeps the copy
block (eyebrow, H1, lede, install). Right is a foundry-style
typographic plate: a giant italic Fraunces ℋ (Script Capital H,
U+210B) at clamp(12rem, 24vw, 22rem), positioned with intentional
asymmetric placement on a bordered card, with a "PLATE 01" label
top-left and a mono spec strip ("Fraunces · italic · 144pt /
display optical · ss01") at the bottom. Reads as a real foundry's
specimen sheet — the truest possible hero for an opinionated-
typography skill.
· **Plume → hero-bloom.** Two-column. Right is a layered painterly
composition: a soft warm-rose watercolor wash (inline SVG with a
radial gradient + organic path), an oversized italic "Hallmark."
in Newsreader at clamp(4rem, 9vw, 7.5rem) layered on top of the
wash, plus three small geometric accents (a thin vertical line, a
filled ink dot, an outlined circle). No SaaS chrome. Painterly +
editorial.
· **Halo → hero-orbit.** Two-column. Right is concentric rings + a
glowing centre dot. Five SVG circles of varying stroke width
(thinnest outer, thickest inner), centre dot in --color-accent
with a soft amber box-shadow glow, an accent tick mark on the
outermost ring's top, a thin rule + small spec strip
("HALO · WORKSHOP") at the bottom. The whole ring set rotates
via @keyframes orbit-spin 80s linear infinite — almost
imperceptible, gives the page life. Stops under
prefers-reduced-motion.
Theme remap (one file, three lines in main.js ARCHETYPES):
specimen: marquee → specimen
plume: clipped → bloom
halo: clipped → orbit
The original hero-marquee and hero-clipped templates are
untouched. Pastel still uses clipped. Reversion is one line per
theme — flip the ARCHETYPES entry back.
All three new heroes:
- 2-column at desktop, single-column stack at <60rem
- Pure CSS + inline SVG, no JS
- Theme-aware (currentColor, accent token, mono/serif fallbacks)
- ~270 LOC of CSS across all three, ~95 LOC of HTML templates

Polish — drop Bricolage, vertical section heads, edge-bleed examples, GitHub star button
Six items in one pass:
· **Bricolage Grotesque removed** entirely. Distinctive italic-a
forms (curl ear) read as "weird" at section-title scale across
several themes. Replaced per-theme with cleaner alternatives:
Sport → Inter Tight (italic). Riso → Space Grotesk. Almanac →
IBM Plex Sans. Plume → Geist. Manifesto's display fallback
chain swapped Bricolage out for Space Grotesk. Google Fonts
stylesheet URL updated — Bricolage dropped, Space Grotesk and
Anton (italic axis) added.
· **Section heads restructured.** Was: 10rem | 1fr two-column with
the section label ("04 / ANTI-PATTERNS") on the left and the
title on the right. Problem: at narrow widths (and on themes
that override to 6rem | 1fr like Sport), the label was forced
to wrap mid-word ("ANTI-/PATTERNS") and the title felt squeezed.
Now: single-column. Label stacks ABOVE the title with a small
gap. Label gets `white-space: nowrap` so it never breaks. Title
font-size grows from `clamp(2rem, 3vw + 1rem, 3rem)` to
`clamp(2rem, 4vw + 0.5rem, 3.5rem)` since it has full row width.
Sport's per-theme override (was 6rem | 1fr) now also 1fr.
· **Foundations card strokes — fixed.** The gap-as-border pattern
(gap: 0.5px, parent bg showing through) sub-pixel-rounded
inconsistently — col 2/3 boundaries dropped on some themes.
Replaced with explicit 1px right + bottom borders on each card,
plus left + top on the parent. Every divider now renders crisp
at every theme + viewport. Atelier/Salon use a dashed bottom
rule instead, no vertical dividers (matches their borderless
card aesthetic).
· **Worked examples — full bleed to viewport edges.** The rail had
`margin-inline: calc(-1 * var(--page-gutter))` which only
escaped the page gutter, not the page max-width. On wide
desktops the rail still capped at 76rem. Now uses
`width: 100vw; margin-inline: calc(50% - 50vw)` so cards extend
flush to the viewport edges no matter how wide the screen.
Internal scroll-padding still snaps the first/last card cleanly.
· **Study brief pill** — "Paste a design you admire." → "/hallmark
study this landing page". Reads as the actual command the user
would type, matches the Build row's brief style.
· **GitHub star button** added to the nav. Sits beside Install,
styled as an inverse pill (ink fill, accent star, paper text).
Live star count fetched from the GitHub API on first paint,
cached in localStorage for 1h to avoid rate-limit. Falls back
to "★" if the request fails. Counts ≥1000 render as "1.2k" etc.

Marketing site refinement — titles, footer, Section 03 + 05 reworks
Big polish pass after user feedback. Breakdown: CHAPTER RAIL — removed entirely. The sticky left-rail outline added last pass competed with content rather than helping. HTML, CSS, JS observer all stripped. Page reads cleaner without it. SECTION TITLES — shorter, declarative, fits every theme without two-line wraps: · 02: "Different briefs. Different bones." → "Worked examples." · 03: "Five things Hallmark does. One ruleset underneath." → "What it does." · 05: "Five things Hallmark holds the line on." → "Foundations." · 06: "One command. Works in every harness." → "Install." SECTION 03 — every row at the same density. Build: title now shows `Build (default)` with the `(default)` set in italic muted serif. Signals users don't actually type `build`. Study: was a 2-card study-grid (Tide + Tracejam, image + 10-row DNA each). Compacted to a Build-shaped layout — single example (brief pill → arrow → Tide thumb on left, 10-field DNA list on right). Mirrors Build's shape so the section reads at one rhythm instead of one row dominating. Audit: full rebuild. The verb-audit.png slop screenshot replaced with a CSS-only inline slop hero (purple-pink gradient, centered, Inter family, ✨ sparkle badge, gradient pill CTA) that visibly embodies every AI tell. Right side dropped the 4-row info panel for a 5-row checklist: ✗ <problem> → <fix>. Each row names a specific tell and its Hallmark answer. Reads as "what's wrong / what to do." Drops the now-redundant audit-flag overlay. Refine + Redesign: dropped the right-column structured info panel entirely. The diptych (before/after) now spans full skill-row body width, each thumbnail roughly doubled in size. New .skill-row__body--full modifier handles the layout. The Invocation/Preserves/Touches/Returns lines were redundant given the lede already says it. SECTION 05 — Foundations. Replaced the 5-radio-tab pattern with 8 compact cards in a 4×2 desktop grid. Each card: a hand-drawn SVG icon (~48px, monoline, currentColor stroke for theme-aware inheritance), a one-word title, a single-line description. The eight: Type (paired Aa serif + Aa sans), Colour (4 dots), Space (ruler tick marks), Motion (curve arrow), Voice (4 quote marks), Layout (2 asymmetric rectangles), Hierarchy (3 bars decreasing), Restraint (single dot in square). Responsive: 4×2 ≥60rem → 2×4 ≥36rem → 1×8 mobile. Old radio-tab markup preserved verbatim inside <template id="section-05-archive -foundations-tabs"> for one-tag revertibility (same pattern as Section 04's archived Without/With). FOOTER — was 64ch (~600px) max-width single column. Reads as a small floating block on a 1440px desktop. Replaced with a 3-column flex layout: wordmark left, prose centre (set / catalog / credit paragraphs), links + 2026 year stamp right. Spans full page width. Stacks single-column on mobile. `display: flex !important` because the parent .foot rule (display: grid) was winning the cascade and overriding even an equal-specificity later declaration. EASTER EGG — the "1.0× in 3.2s" counter line is gone (the user didn't actually count clicks, the line claimed false precision). Header reads `$ hallmark.observe()` (cleaner CLI feel). Punchlines expanded with new lines — "theme connoisseur." / "easy on the keys." / "speed-run noted." / "calm down, designer." / "showing off, are we?" Animation rebuilt — arrival fades + scales (1.015 → 1) over 420ms with cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1) curve, the underlying page slightly recedes (scale 0.985 + 2px blur) via a body.easter-open class so the easter feels like a brief teleport. Exit mirrors with a 360ms ease-in. Reduced-motion: opacity-only. FAVICON — unchanged from prior pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Phases C+D+E — pull-arrows, interlude, anti-patterns section, chapter rail
Three phases of editorial-spine moves landed together:
PHASE C — Pacing.
· End-of-section pull-arrows. Each major section now closes with a
small italic-serif arrow link pulling the eye to the next
section: "See the verbs →" (after Section 02), "See the named
tells →" (after 03), "Read the rules →" (after the new 04),
"Install in your editor →" (after 05). Hairline rule above each
arrow. Hover nudges the arrow forward, recolours to accent.
Theme-aware: editorial themes get italic serif; brutal /
manifesto / sport / terminal etc. switch to body sans uppercase.
· Mid-scroll typographic interlude between Sections III and IV.
Single declarative phrase set in the active theme's display
face on a contrasting paper band: "The page is the demo."
("The page" in italic accent, rest in roman ink). Full-bleed,
centred, generous padding. Pure type, zero motion. Resets
attention before the anti-patterns section.
PHASE D — Slop, by name.
· Replaced Section 04 (Without/With) with a new Anti-patterns
section. Five named tells, each shown as: a number (mono), the
tell's name in italic display with a strike-through (the slop,
visually struck), a description (italic serif muted), and then
the Hallmark fix in clean ink with an accent label. Side-by-
side typography so the contrast IS the design.
The five tells: purple-gradient hero, Inter-as-display, centred
everything, icon-tile feature card, the AI nav.
· Original Section 04 markup preserved verbatim inside a
<template id="section-04-archive-without-with"> wrapper. The
template element doesn't render but keeps the content in the
file for revertibility. To restore the original section: change
the opening <template> to <section class="section reveal"
style="--i:3" aria-labelledby="s4"> and the closing </template>
to </section>, then delete the new Anti-patterns section. (The
archived content uses the vs--notes / vs__panel--dash etc class
names which contain "--" sequences invalid inside HTML
comments, hence the template wrapper instead.)
PHASE E — Chapter rail.
· New <aside class="chapter-rail"> pinned to the left margin on
viewports ≥80rem (1280px). Lists II Examples · III Skills · IV
Anti-patterns · V Foundations · VI Install. Italic serif Roman
numeral + small-caps mono name. Hidden below 80rem so it never
competes with content on narrower screens.
· IntersectionObserver in main.js tracks the topmost visible
section and adds .is-current to the matching link. Active link
brightens to ink colour with accent numeral; inactive links
fade to rule-2 muted. Smooth (one CSS-token transition).
Net editorial gravity:
Banner → 01/23 indicator + dropdown (clean chrome)
Section 02 → "Different briefs. Different bones." + larger cards
Section 03 → unchanged (already strong)
Mid-scroll → "The page is the demo." interlude
Section 04 → Anti-patterns ("Slop, by name.") replacing W/W
Pull-arrows between every section
Chapter rail on wide screens
Footer → colophon (publisher's signature page)
Files changed: index.html (markup) · components.css (chapter rail
+ anti-patterns + interlude theme overrides) · sections.css
(anti-patterns layout + pull-arrow + interlude) · main.js
(chapter rail observer).

Phase B — banner indicator + dropdown, colophon footer
The 23-dot strip that occupied half the banner is gone. In its
place: a single text indicator reading "01 / 23 — Specimen" set
in the active theme's display face, with a small caret. Click to
open a compact 6×4 grid of color swatches (no theme names — the
dropdown is deliberately minimal). Outside-click and Escape
close. Theme selection closes and applies in one motion.
Banner before:
HALLMARK V1.0 | INSTALL | marquee · specimen · enrich-A
| (spacer) | Specimen · editorial | [• • • • • × 23 dots]
| shuffle | T
Banner after:
HALLMARK V1.0 | INSTALL | (spacer) | 01 / 23 — Specimen ▾
| shuffle | T
Mobile: ordinal hides at <44rem, theme name + caret remain.
Below 26rem the theme name itself collapses; the caret stays as
a control.
Footer — replaced four archetypes (masthead/inline/index/dense)
with a single colophon ("Ft5"). All 23 themes now use it. The
publisher's signature page traditionally doesn't change across
volumes; structural variety lives in the body, not in the
publisher's mark. Theme variation is now purely typographic
re-rendering.
Colophon block:
Hallmark · v1.0
Set in Fraunces (display), The Future (body), and The Future
Mono (label). Currently rendered in <Specimen>.
Twenty-three named themes across four genres. Twenty-one
macrostructures. Forty component archetypes. Sixty slop-test
gates plus a six-axis pre-emit critique.
Built v1.0 in 2026. Powered by Together AI. MIT licensed.
Source · Install · Top
Old footer templates and CSS are kept in place but no theme
references them — fully dormant. Easy to revert one or restore
specific archetypes later.

Phase A — drop nav stamp, add favicon, rework Section 02 cards
· Remove .banner__stamp ("marquee · specimen · enrich-A") from the
nav header. The live-stamp annotation was clutter — every visitor
saw it, almost none read it. Drop the markup, the CSS block, and
the JS query references. setPressed() is now leaner.
· Add favicon.svg — italic Fraunces "H" on warm-cream square,
inverted automatically under prefers-color-scheme: dark. Linked
in <head> via <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml">.
· Section 02 (Examples) — title "Eight briefs. Eight different
shapes." → "Different briefs. Different bones." Tighter, more
declarative, leans into the structural-variety claim. Card size
bumped from flex 0 0 32rem → clamp(32rem, 60vw, 44rem) on
desktop so each card carries more visual weight; mobile bumped
26rem and 84vw. examples-rail gets symmetric scroll-padding-
inline plus a flex 0 0 var(--page-gutter) ::after spacer so the
last card snaps clean to the gutter instead of being cropped by
the bleed margin on the right.

Smart placeholders + mobile-responsiveness gates (skill v1.x)
Two enhancements that surfaced from real use of v1.0: PLACEHOLDERS — imagery decisions are now explicit, not fuzzy. · hero-enrichment.md gains an "Image-need detection" table at the top. Brief signals map to image strategy: e-commerce / photography / food / team / travel / news → photographic placeholders; SaaS / manifesto / agency / editorial → kit-led imagery; API / docs / dev-tool / editorial-essay → no imagery; default → typography-only. Rules call out: never overwrite user-supplied assets; ask one short question on ambiguity; never invent stock photos as if they were the final design. · assets.md gains a "Placeholder strategy" section listing the source canon in order: Hallmark imagery kit > hand-built SVG > Picsum (deterministic seed) > Unsplash (keyword-anchored) > local public/placeholder fallback. Swappability rules are non-negotiable: TODO comments, single --placeholder-base constant, alt text describing intended subject not the placeholder. · imagery-kit.md is new. The skill ships a manifest pointing at curated abstract assets hosted on the marketing site (hallmark-murex.vercel.app/imagery/<category>/<file>) — six categories: watercolor washes, transparent abstract objects, editorial ornaments, texture/grain overlays, generic product silhouettes, pattern fields. The skill stays binary-free; the output references images by absolute URL with graceful fallback to hand-built SVG when the asset 404s. Includes CSS recipes for layered hero composition (transparent PNG, large, off-centre, z-index 0 behind text), section background wash, decoration, texture overlay, empty state. Anti-patterns: don't use kit as literal subject, don't layer 3+ pieces, don't apply same wash to multiple sections, don't use kit imagery in modern-minimal genre. · SKILL.md Step 4 wires the heuristic — "First, does the brief need imagery at all?" runs before tier selection, defaults to typography-only. MOBILE — the responsiveness pass is now codified as gates. · slop-test.md adds gates 61–65 covering the patterns the marketing-site responsiveness fix uncovered: image-bearing grid tracks must use minmax(0, 1fr) (61), root must have overflow-x: clip on html and body (62), display headers wrap inside long words via overflow-wrap: anywhere (63), per-theme section-head overrides include mobile collapse (64), CSS-only radio tab patterns must not scroll-jump (65). New stamp line: mobile: pass (36, 59, 61–65). · responsive.md grows a "Mobile — non-negotiable" section at the top that consolidates all seven mobile gates as a hard floor. Test at 320 / 375 / 414 / 768 px before marking complete. · SKILL.md Discipline 5 expanded — was just "clickable text never wraps" (gate 59), now broader "mobile responsiveness — every emit verified at 320/375/414/768" naming all seven gates. Skill total grew from 6633 → 6890 lines (+257, ~4%). The new imagery-kit.md is 170 lines, larger than the original ~55-line plan because it ships the actual CSS recipes for layered hero composition, section wash, texture overlay, and empty state — the implementation-grade detail required to hit the "professional frontend engineer" bar set in the plan.

Compact study card · hide second example on mobile (Section 03 Row II)
Two changes that lighten the vertical footprint of the Study row:
· On mobile (≤ 48 rem), only the first study example renders — the
second is hidden via .study-card + .study-card { display: none }
inside .skill-row__body--study. Two stacked DNA cards (image +
10-row key/value table each) was eating most of a phone screen
for one verb; one example carries the same point.
· Across all screens: image aspect-ratio 16/10 → 16/7 (shorter
media slot), DNA panel padding md/lg/lg → sm/md/md (one step
lighter), per-row padding-block sm → xs inside .study-card__dna
(tighter row rhythm). Skill-row list panels keep their existing
padding — only the study card gets the tightened density.

Mobile responsiveness pass — fix overflow, scroll-jump, section heads
Several mobile issues reported by user manifested across themes:
photographic hero overflowing viewport, hero text wrapping into the
next line incorrectly, tab clicks jumping the page, section titles
overlapping section labels on Sport (and any theme overriding the
default section-head grid).
Changes:
· site/css/components.css — .hero--photo: grid-template-columns is
now minmax(0, 1fr) so the column shrinks below the 1600 px image
natural width on narrow viewports. .hero__photo-grid switches to
2 cols × 3 rows at <= 40rem with 4/3 aspect-ratio (was 3 × 2 at
16/7 and forced page wider than viewport on phones). Studio's
redundant aspect-ratio: 16/7 override removed so the mobile rule
can apply.
· site/css/base.css — html, body now use overflow-x: clip (previously
body alone had overflow-x: hidden). `.hero__display`,
`.section__title`, `.skill-row__title` get overflow-wrap: anywhere
and min-width: 0 — long hyphenated words like "AI-generated" in
uppercase Inter Tight 900 (Brutal) no longer overflow with their
hyphen as the only break opportunity.
· site/css/sections.css — diptych breakpoint pushed 40rem → 48rem so
Refine + Redesign demos stack vertically at the Chrome-headless
500 px floor (and on real phones below 768 px). Added a final-block
mobile rule [data-theme] .section__head { grid-template-columns:
1fr; gap; align-items } at <= 48rem to win cascade specificity
against per-theme overrides (Sport, Atelier, Newsprint, Terminal,
Manifesto, Salon, Linen, Almanac, Brutal). Without this, Sport's
6rem 1fr override kept the section head 2-column on mobile and
the italic Anton title wrapped onto the "02 / EXAMPLES" label.
· site/js/main.js — tab scroll-jump fix. The CSS-only radio tab
pattern in Section 04 (without/with) and Section 05 (foundations)
positions the radio inputs at top:0 of their section. Clicking a
label focuses the input → browser scrolls the section's top into
view → page jumps upward on every tab click. Fix intercepts label
clicks, prevents default, manually toggles checked, dispatches
change, and focuses with preventScroll so keyboard navigation
still works without the unwanted scroll. Older browsers without
preventScroll fall back to scroll-position save/restore.
Verified across all 23 themes at 500 px headless (Chrome's mobile
floor — real-phone-equivalent rules also fire below 576 px). No
horizontal overflow, no overlapping titles, photographic-hero
themes (Studio, Brutal) now show 6 thumbnails in a 2 × 3 grid that
fits the viewport, all section titles collapse cleanly under their
section labels.

v1.0 — anti-slop hardening, Section 03 skills showcase, drop FAQ
Section 03 ships as the five-skills showcase (Build · Study · Audit · Refine · Redesign), each row with its own structurally-distinct demo. SKILL.md and references — new disciplines that hold across every verb: · Pre-emit self-critique on six axes (Philosophy · Hierarchy · Execution · Specificity · Restraint · Variety) — anything <3 triggers revision · Honest copy — no fabricated metrics, real numbers or labelled placeholder, never invent "+47% conversion" · Locked tokens — no mid-render colour or font-family improvisation · Re-drawn UI chrome forbidden — never hand-build fake browser bars, phone frames, code-block windows, IDE chrome · Clickable text never wraps to two lines on shrink Slop test grows from 55 to 60 gates (gates 56–60). Pre-emit critique block sits above the gate sweep. anti-patterns.md gains five new named entries; responsive.md gains "Clickable text — never wraps" with the 4-step fix order. Site: · Studio photographic hero — empty 3x3 placeholder grid replaced with a 3x2 showcase of six real Hallmark output thumbnails (Static Hour, NAJM, Tally hero, Nexus, Tracejam, Tally process) · Studio — strip "· selected work" suffix from section labels (::after rule removed) and from hero eyebrow COPY · FAQ section dropped from landing page · CSS removed · Install renumbered 07 → 06, footer reveal index 7 → 6 · Section 03 Row I (Build) demo swaps Tide → Static Hour · README — concise intro paragraph, hero showcase swapped to four new outputs (Static Hour, NAJM, Tally hero, Nexus) Version bumped to 1.0.0 across package.json, SKILL.md, banner, footer, JS captions, and the artifact stamp string.

Revert Section 03 Before/After gallery
Removed the gallery and all 5 before/after test fixtures + thumbnails. Hallmark's typography-only outputs read as visually quieter than Sonnet's defaults — by design (decoration must earn its place), but it makes for an unflattering side-by-side at first glance. Bad marketing surface even if the discipline is right. - Reverted site/index.html Section 03 → restored the Study section. - Reverted site/css/sections.css → removed the .ba__ block. - Deleted site/_tests/before-after/ entirely (5 briefs × 2 outputs + 10 thumbnails + capture script). |

Section 03 → Before · After gallery (real Claude Sonnet runs, with and without Hallmark)
Replaces the Study section with a 5-brief comparison gallery built on real headless
`claude -p` runs:
- 5 fresh briefs (Tide coffee · Streak habits · Lattice studio · Loom indie game · Anchor SaaS).
- BEFORE: Hallmark moved out of ~/.claude/skills/, ran `claude -p --model sonnet`.
- AFTER: Hallmark restored, same prompt prefixed with "Use the Hallmark skill at SKILL.md".
- Both sets of HTML committed under site/_tests/before-after/0X/{before,after}/index.html
so the source is browsable.
- 1280×800 thumbnails captured with headless Chrome (script: site/_tests/before-after/_capture.sh).
- Stripped preamble leaks where the model added commentary above <!doctype>.
Section 03 markup mirrors the W/W and Foundations radio+sibling pattern:
- 5 hidden radios, tab strip, side-by-side BEFORE | AFTER below.
- Brief text shown above each comparison.
- Each thumbnail links to the live HTML; Hallmark stamp summarised in caption meta.
- Mobile: tabs scroll horizontally, columns stack.
The five AFTER outputs span 5 different macrostructures (Long Document, Bento Grid,
Marquee Hero ×2, Stat-Led), 5 different themes (Linen, Pastel, Atelier, Bloom, Quiet),
3 different navs (N5, N7, N9), and 4 different footers (Ft5, Ft6, Ft7, Ft8) — actual
diversity, not faked.

Copy refresh — README + landing page stats reflect new nav/footer/hero archetypes
README: - "Latest" line names the 9-nav · 8-footer · 4-hero-polish additions, the 5 new slop-test gates, and the Terminal cursor constraint. - references/ blurb updated: 40 component archetypes (was 36), with the 9 nav · 8 footer breakdown called out. - site description gains "different nav archetype" alongside hero/footer. Landing page stat refresh (factual, not design): - index.html footer index card: 22 themes · 21 macros · 40 archetypes · 9 navs · 8 footers · 4 hero polish · 55 gates. - main.js Specimen proof block: 21 macros · 40 archetypes · 9 navs · 8 footers · 4 polish · 55-gate test. - main.js Almanac proof block: same refresh; "252" combinations bumped to 462 (21 × 22 — was using the old 12-theme count). - main.js Newsprint lede: "Twelve themes" → "Twenty-two themes"; "Thirty-two archetypes" → "Forty"; "50-gate" → "55-gate". - main.js dense colophon: same set of stat fixes. Skill: - SKILL.md component-cookbook description: 32 → 40 archetypes with the breakdown. - SKILL.md theme list: completed to all 22 themes (was truncated at 17 names). - custom-theme.md: 16 → 22 themes, list completed; "17th theme" → "23rd theme".

Hallmark skill — N5–N9 navs · Ft5–Ft8 footers · HP1–HP4 hero polish · Terminal cursor constraint · gates 51–55 (55 total)
Skill-only changes (no demo-site touches per user direction):
- component-cookbook.md: Navigation 4→9 (N5 Floating pill · N6 Newspaper masthead · N7 Brutal slab · N8 Terminal command · N9 Edge-aligned minimal) + Footers 4→8 (Ft5 Statement · Ft6 Letter close · Ft7 Newsletter-first · Ft8 Marquee scroll), each with code, real-world refs, anti-patterns, and routing tables per genre.
- hero-enrichment.md: HP1 Vertical-rail · HP2 Marquee-overflow · HP3 Cursor-spotlight · HP4 Decorative-numeral, plus a Hero space discipline subsection (footprint 70–90%, padding-block-end ≥ 1.3× start, no centred-everything, one polish pattern max).
- structure.md: theme fingerprint table extended to all 22 themes with Nav + Footer columns; Terminal "no standalone cursor" constraint codified.
- microinteractions.md: Caret blink rule rewritten — cursor allowed only INSIDE typed commands, never as standalone decoration.
- anti-patterns.md: "The AI nav" + "The AI footer" entries name the genre-blind fingerprints to refuse.
- slop-test.md: gates 51–55 (Nav fingerprint · Footer fingerprint · Hero centred-everything · Hero padding asymmetry · Decorative-without-purpose). Header 50→55.
- SKILL.md: Step 2 gains nav + footer pick + diversification rule; component-scope flow clarifies skip; gate count 50→55.
- 4 genre files: each gets a "Nav and footer voice" routing block.
- macrostructures.md: cross-references HP1–HP4 + nav/footer from component-cookbook.
Tests: skill/_tests/nav-footer-variety/{01..05} — 5 fresh briefs (podcast · CLI · atmospheric SaaS · photographer · B2B SaaS) demonstrating 5 different navs (N5–N9), 5 different footers, and 4 different hero polish patterns. The Terminal output places its caret only inside typed commands.

W/W gap fix · Foundations refactor · 4 theme polishes · component-scope flow · contrast gates (50 total)
Site: - Section 04 W/W gap fix: .section gets position:relative, .vs-toggle__input goes position:absolute (top:0, left:0). The hidden radio inputs no longer take grid slots — eliminates the ~36rem of phantom gap that was accumulating between section header and toggle, most visible on Specimen. - Section 05 Foundations refactor: 5 stacked cards → vertical list + active panel. Click a name (01 Type · 02 Colour · 03 Space · 04 Motion · 05 Voice), the right panel updates. Pure CSS via 5 radios + sibling selectors. Section now fits in ~720 px on desktop. Mobile collapses to accordion via grid `order:`. - Theme polish: - Pastel: cool tilt (paper oklch 96% 0.022 285 → 98% 0.008 240); lower-chroma indigo accent. Removes overlap with Plume's warm-cream. - Studio: portfolio rhythm — section-label gains "· selected work" suffix; hero photo crops 16/7; example-card names italicised; quote block bumped to 4.75rem display. - Atelier: sketchbook signals — italic optical-size 144 + soft 70 on display; old-style figures in body; "· plate" suffix on section-label; tabular nums on numerals only; "see plate" prefix on example-card open links. - Sport: scoreboard register — tabular numerals across stat / num / step / dna__v / vs-toggle__num; section-numeral becomes a leaderboard cell with thin top-border + accent tint; sharper sweep easing (cubic-bezier(0.86, 0, 0.07, 1)); hero qualifier set in mono uppercase. Skill: - New § "When the brief is a component, not a page" sits before Design flow in SKILL.md. Detects single-component briefs (button / input / card / modal / dropdown / etc.), runs a slimmed flow that keeps pre-flight + genre + theme + 2+1 fonts + state discipline + slop test, but skips macrostructure / enrichment / project-memory append. Outputs the component artifact PLUS an 8-state demo wrapper (.preview.html) so the user sees default · hover · focus · active · disabled · loading · error · success at a glance. Stamps with `component:` prefix to opt out of page diversification rules. - Contrast & readability gates 46–50 added to slop-test.md (universal, all genres): - 46 body text < 4.5:1 contrast - 47 large text / icons / focus rings < 3:1 contrast - 48 button text colour ≈ background fill (the black-on-black canary) - 49 --color-accent used as fill but --color-accent-ink missing - 50 dark surface inheriting the page-default ink colour (ink-on-ink in flipped sections) - New "Contrast discipline" subsection in interaction-and-states.md with APCA / WCAG computation rules + the surface-flip rule (any background override must also state color). - Slop-test count 45 → 50 across SKILL.md, slop-test.md, custom-theme.md, redesign.md, README, site copy fixtures.

Add 5 themes (Coral · Violet · Aurora · Halo · Plume) → 22 themes total · study tiles use <img>
Themes: - Coral (modern-minimal) — warm-grey paper, single coral accent, Geist + General Sans pair, pill CTAs. The "Stripe-not-Linear" register. - Violet (modern-minimal) — near-white + near-black, single quiet violet accent, tight Geist. The Linear voice without copying it. - Aurora (atmospheric) — dark cool canvas with two cool blooms (cyan top-right, teal-green bottom-left), Sentient body, single cyan accent. The dev-tool-after-dark register. - Halo (atmospheric) — neutral charcoal canvas with a single warm-amber bloom positioned ONLY around the hero (fixed-attached pseudo-element clipped to top 80vh). Below the hero the page is content-led — less Suno, more "tool you actually work in." - Plume (playful) — warm cream paper with alternating tinted bands on sections, soft rose accent, hover-lift on cards, friendly motion. Closer to actual playful than Pastel's post-Linear-soft. Catalog totals: editorial 12 · modern-minimal 3 · atmospheric 5 · playful 2 = 22 themes. Banner picker, THEMES, ARCHETYPES, COPY, and THEME_GENRES maps all updated. README cluster list reorganised by genre. Study gallery: - Replaced <video> with <img> in all 4 cards (videos deferred until production-ready). Existing test-page thumbnails serve as the visual; tiles 03 and 04 keep the data-user-content placeholder + DNA scaffold for the user to fill later. - CSS .study-card__video class kept alongside new .study-card__img selector so the future video swap is one-line. Theme-count refs (17 → 22) updated across SKILL.md, README, index.html, main.js, T-tooltip, easter-egg punchlines. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

v0.8 polish — Cohort fix · component exports · study gallery
Cohort: - Headline rewritten: "Live courses, sized for the class you actually have." (was a contorted "the size your roster actually is") - Stat shrunk: clamp(6rem, 22vw, 22rem) → clamp(5rem, 14vw, 13rem). Still heroic at 208px max but no longer dominates the page Component library exports: - skill/references/export-formats.md (NEW) — defines the canonical mapping from Hallmark tokens to four formats: tokens.css, Tailwind v4 @theme, DTCG tokens.json, shadcn/ui CSS variables. Includes worked examples for editorial + modern-minimal themes. - SKILL.md Step 6 — every build now ALWAYS emits a tokens.css alongside the page CSS. Page CSS imports it; never inlines token values. design.md projects additionally embed all four formats inline in the design.md Exports section. - redesign.md design.md template — added the Exports section showing all four code blocks. User copies whichever they need into the next project. - No new verb. Always-on, zero friction. Study gallery on marketing site: - New section 03 (between Examples and Without/With) demonstrating what `hallmark study` extracts. Four tiles, each pairing a video-shaped media slot (autoplay-muted-loop with poster fallback) with the structured 10-field DNA panel. - Tiles 01 + 02 filled in (Tide → Letter macrostructure / italic editorial serif; Tracejam → Workbench / soft geometric sans / cyan accent). - Tiles 03 + 04 are scaffolded with placeholders + data-user-content marker for the user to fill later. - Sections renumbered: Without/With 03 → 04, Foundations 04 → 05, FAQ 05 → 06, Install 06 → 07. --i reveal indices and section labels updated.

Polish + 2+1 fonts + input-state discipline (45-gate slop test)
Inputs: - Added an exhaustive "Input field states" section in interaction-and-states.md: state-by-state recipe (default · hover · focus · active · filled · disabled · error · success · loading), input-height = button-height, helper-text reserves min-height: 1lh, controls (textarea / select / checkbox / radio / range / file / combobox) each get their own override notes - The no-layout-shift rule: border-width is constant across every state; state changes go to background, outline, or box-shadow — never border-width - Focus ring is `outline: 2px`, never `border` — outline default reserved as transparent so the ring appears with no geometry shift Fonts: - 2+1 rule: max three font families per page (display + body + one outlier for wordmark / hero stat / pull quote). Mono counts as a family if used outside code. Same family at different weights = one family. - Expanded the catalog with 14 more free faces: Instrument Serif, Source Serif 4, DM Serif Display, Bodoni Moda, EB Garamond, Cardo, Spectral, General Sans, Switzer, Cabinet Grotesk, Sentient, Erode, Tanker, Tomorrow, Big Shoulders Display, Anton, Outfit, Commit Mono, Space Mono, IBM Plex Mono — sourced from Google Fonts and Fontshare. Tone-pairing tables now have an "Outlier" column. Slop-test gates (38 → 45): - 39: more than three font families on the page - 40: outlier face used in more than two slots - 41: input border-width changes between states - 42: input focus ring built from border instead of outline - 43: input height differs from adjacent button height - 44: helper-text container collapses when empty (causes vertical jump on validation) - 45: disabled input signalled by opacity alone (needs opacity + cursor + aria together) References to "38 gates / 38-gate / 29-question slop test" updated everywhere (SKILL.md, README, site, JS copy fixtures, redesign verb, custom-theme).

v0.8 — genres, design.md, lazier loading, two new themes, site rework
Skill: - Genres (editorial · modern-minimal · atmospheric · playful) as a top-level rule overlay; signal-based detection in Step 1, theme rotation now scoped to the genre's cluster - `redesign` on a directory or whole project now produces design.md first and locks every page to that system; diversification rule inverts on system-managed projects - SKILL.md slimmed 532 → ~440 lines: slop-test gates extracted to references/slop-test.md, per-verb sections to references/verbs/, output contract to references/contract.md, with explicit eager / per-build / conditional / end / verb-specific load buckets - Worked examples (recipes.md, study-examples.md) moved out of skill/references/ into docs/ — no longer auto-loaded - audit.md gained design.md drift checks (theme drift · macrostructure-family violation · stamp lies · missing system reference) Site: - Quiet theme refreshed to ElevenLabs-style polished minimal (Geist, pure white, pill CTAs, two-column hero) - New Bloom theme — Suno-style atmospheric dark with twin warm radial blooms, Geist display, single warm accent - Banner additions: sticky Install link, live stamp callout (hover-expands the CSS comment), genre label after the theme name - T-key onboarding tooltip after 5s idle (localStorage-flagged so it never returns) - Decision-trail popover on each example tile (600ms hover delay, pure CSS) - Foundations cut from 8 cards to 5 (Type · Colour · Space · Motion · Voice) - FAQ section added: 5 typographic Q/A pairs, editorial format, tightened spacing - Without/With grew from 1 pair to 4 — writing app · dashboard · pricing card · personal site — with a CSS-only tab toggle - Scroll-jump fix on the W/W tabs: radio inputs no longer position-absolute, so clicking a tab no longer yanks the page back to top - How-it-works section folded out, content absorbed by FAQ + Install - 17 themes (was 16); README and skill references updated everywhere Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Easter egg: trim copy + tighter timing · 15s re-trigger cooldown
- Removed the "16 themes" / "no theme 17" lines so the punchline lands fast - Three lines total now: command, count, punchline - EASTER_VISIBLE_MS 4200ms → 3400ms (less to read = less hold time needed) - Re-tuned line stagger delays for the trimmed timeline; cursor blink starts at 1.15s - Cooldown between triggers dropped from 30s to 15s so users can re-summon it sooner Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

vercel.json — point GitHub-triggered builds at site/
The previous push deployed an empty production build (404) because GitHub-triggered builds use the repo root, but index.html lives in site/. Manual `vercel --prod` runs from inside site/ worked, but the auto-deploy needs an explicit outputDirectory. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Section 03 + easter egg fixes — slop panel theme-adapts · easter actually fires
- Section 03 "Without Hallmark" panel no longer hardcodes #fff bg; uses var(--color-paper) so Manifesto / Midnight / Terminal / Brutal don't show a jarring white box mid-page (the AI-slop tells are still carried by the gradient title, Inter, centred layout, pill CTA) - Removed four dead per-theme .vs__col:first-child colour overrides (Manifesto / Sport / Brutal / Terminal) — they were painting the old CSS-mockup column, now clashing with the panel-based demo - Easter egg fix: previous version showed for one frame and was dismissed by the next autorepeat keydown. Now swallows every key while open, auto-dismisses after 4.2s with a fade-out, threshold lowered to 12 so it triggers reliably - Easter visual: solid #fff, system mono, #111 text, dark cursor — decoupled from theme so it reads as "the page steps in" not "another theme" - Random punchline picked from 6 lines ("chill, designer.", "sixteen is plenty.", etc.) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Site refresh — examples to #2 · plainer Foundations · install pane · easter egg
- Examples gallery promoted from section 07 to section 02 as a full-bleed scroll-snap rail - Without / With panels share the same eyebrow / H1 / sub / CTA copy; styling carries the difference - Foundations: 8 cards rewritten in plain English; new illustrations incl. live motion demo (F/04) and a real interactive states button (F/05); mosaic layout with feature + strip spans - Section 06 Install redesigned as one bordered "manual page" card (I · Run · II · In · III · Then), theme-adaptive - Hero H1 locked to one fixed string across all 16 themes; only the visual treatment swaps - Easter egg: spam T ≥14 times in 3.2s and a "chill, designer." overlay surfaces with live counts; any key dismisses, 30s cooldown - README: Credits section removed; voice-fixtures bullet rewritten to drop the named designer/site list Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

v0.7.0 — add custom theme route, clean landing footer
The big shift: a custom theme route alongside the 16-theme catalog. Catalog stays the default. Custom fires only when the brief signals creative or unique intent (named brand colour, multi-attribute vibe the catalog can't carry, explicit ask). Vanilla briefs route to catalog silently — no visible behaviour change. Custom builds an OKLCH palette + free-font pairing tuned to the brief, inline at :root, with the same 38 slop-test gates firing as catalog runs. The freedom is the combination, not the rules. - New `skill/references/custom-theme.md` — protocol with sections A-G: trigger signals, palette construction, font pairing, axis computation, stamp format, log.json shape, three worked examples (Coffeebox, Loop, Mossroot). - New `site/_tests/custom/` — three rendered worked examples matching custom-theme.md § G. - `SKILL.md` — Step 1 trigger detection, Step 2.6 dispatch, sample preview block for custom, version 0.6.0 → 0.7.0. - `study.md` — theme-canon references → theme-catalog (font canon references intentionally left unchanged). - Landing footer — drop competitor links (impeccable, kami, frontend-design); keep GitHub + a quick description. Footer Influences column removed; stats refreshed (16 themes, 38 gates). - Site banner v0.2 → v0.7. README adds a current-version line. - Dense colophon JS — drop influences block, refresh stats and build date. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |
