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.

hallmark audit

Read the file(s) the user pointed at. For each finding, return:

  • Tell — the named anti-pattern from anti-patterns.md.
  • Where — file path and line range.
  • Severity — critical (ships as slop), major (looks AI-generated), minor (small taste issue).
  • Fix — one-line concrete correction.

Group by severity. Do not edit. Do not redesign. End with a count: N critical · M major · K minor.

Audit also checks structural fingerprint: if the page uses the AI template (centered hero, 3 equal feature cards, CTA, footer, with no asymmetry or surprise), flag it as a critical structural finding even if the visual treatment is fine.

Stamp-vs-page check. If the audited file contains a /* Hallmark · macrostructure: <name> · ... */ stamp, verify the page actually matches that name. If the stamp says Bento Grid but the page is a centered single-column hero with a CTA, flag it as a critical structural finding: stamp lies — the stamp must reflect what shipped or be removed. This catches drift where a previous Hallmark run stamped one thing and a later edit pulled the page back toward the AI template.

Genre-aware audit. If the audited file's stamp names a genre (e.g. genre: atmospheric), apply the genre-scoped overrides from slop-test.md when grading. A radial-gradient background is a critical tell for editorial — but allowed for atmospheric. A pure-white paper is a tell for editorial — but allowed for modern-minimal. The audit verb must respect the genre the page declared.

design.md audit. If the project root has a design.md (or DESIGN.md), read it before grading. Then check every audited page against the system:

  • Theme drift. Page uses tokens / fonts / accent that don't match design.md's declared system → flag as critical: design-system drift. Per-page theme picks are slop on a system-managed project even if each page is internally fine.
  • Macrostructure family violation. design.md says marketing pages use Marquee Hero or Stat-Led — the audited page is a Letter format → flag as major: outside design.md family.
  • Stamp mismatch. The page's CSS stamp says designed-as-app but reads design-system: design.md and the page actually drifts from design.md → flag as critical: stamp lies. The stamp claims compliance the code doesn't deliver.
  • No stamp at all on a system-managed project → flag as major: missing system reference. Every page on a design.md project must stamp its allegiance to the system.

Inversely, on a project without design.md, the standard diversification rule applies — flag pages that share macrostructure / theme with a previous Hallmark output as minor: variety drift.
