Youssef aedca8cb03 Refactor · move SKILL.md + references/ to repo root so 'npx skills add nutlope/hallmark' works
The published install command in the README — npx skills add nutlope/hallmark — was failing for users because the skills CLI looks for SKILL.md at the repo root, not at skill/SKILL.md where Hallmark kept it. The clone succeeded but the CLI reported "No skills found." Manual cp was the only working install path.

Flattened the layout:
- skill/SKILL.md            → SKILL.md
- skill/references/         → references/
- (skill/ directory removed; was empty after moves)

git mv preserved rename history for all 76+ files (SKILL.md + 28 reference files + 21 macrostructures + 46 components + 7 verb/genre subfolders).

Updated every cross-reference (36 occurrences across 9 files):
- README.md — 4 links (SKILL.md + references/ + the install snippet still reads the same)
- ROADMAP.md — 4 links to reference files
- package.json — "files" field + "skill" entry/references paths
- site/js/main.js — 3 source comments
- references/design-md.md — one broken link (was pointing skill/references/export-formats.md from inside references/ — now just export-formats.md as a sibling)
- site/_tests/verbs/study/notes.md, diagnosis.md and verbs/audit/audit-report.md, custom/README.md — test-artifact relative paths shortened by one segment (e.g. ../../../skill/SKILL.md → ../../../SKILL.md)

No skill content changes. After this lands, 'npx skills add nutlope/hallmark' should clone + install correctly without any manual cp fallback.

04 · Stat-Led

The hero is a giant number — a metric, a count, a percentage. Everything that follows supports or qualifies it. Data is the narrative.

  • Heading: numeric display (812 rem), tabular figures, small qualifier line below.
  • Body: sections each anchored by a supporting stat or chart.
  • Divider: hairline rules between stat blocks; tabular-nums everywhere.
  • Button: outlined chip aligned beneath the qualifier.
  • Image: charts and small data-viz; no photography.
  • Reveal: number-tick on the hero figure — counter from 0 to target over ~500 ms.

Reach for it when the brief is "we have proof in numbers" — enterprise/B2B, fundraising platforms, climate or impact pages.

Avoid for products without a defensible single metric. A fake big number is worse than no number.

Reference: Ahrefs, Stripe Sessions stat blocks, climate-impact dashboards, venture firm portfolio pages.

Sample opening lines (imitate the specificity, not the wording — the number does the work):

"+47% · faster · decide late." — italicised number, three-word qualifier "4 seconds. From the alert link to the slow span." — pairs the number with what it bought "434 total posts. New CSS you feel like you could use today." — adam argyle, nerdy.dev — the count grounds the page in real volume
