Youssef a0a02cae7f Study · drop the refuse-competitor-pages clause
Remove the "refuses competitor pages" policy from the study verb.
Touches the verb summary in README and SKILL.md, both refusal tables
in study.md, the URL refuse list, the schema's refusal enum, the
emission-attestation parenthetical, and the worked examples plus the
test fixtures.

Paid-template refusal and the signature-work soft-refusal stay —
those carry real copyright weight.

hallmark study — input

The user pasted a screenshot of a design studio's portfolio site they admire. Below is the description the skill works from. (In real use, the skill reads the actual image; here, we describe it for the test artifact.)

What the screenshot shows

A New York editorial design studio's portfolio homepage. Above-the-fold composition, screen ratio 16:10, captured at desktop width.

Top-left: a large italic-serif word — the studio name "Aperture" — set at approximately 56 rem, ink-black, low-contrast against a warm-cream paper. The display face has high optical size, a soft axis, and italic-only weights.

Body of the page: a single column of project rows. Each row has a left-margin number (01, 02, 03 …, set in small-caps geometric sans, hairline weight) followed by the project name (set in the same italic-serif as the studio mark, but smaller — ~1.5 rem) and a one-line description (set in geometric sans, body weight). Rows are separated by a single 1 px hairline rule.

The third row from the top uses a soft warm-orange accent on its number label — the only colour in the entire viewport apart from the cream paper and ink-black type. The implication: the project is the "active" or "featured" pick.

Right margin: wide. The text occupies the left two-thirds of the viewport; the right third is blank cream.

Vertical rhythm: generous. Large vertical padding between rows — at least 45 rem.

Footer (just visible at the bottom of the viewport): a single thin line — studio name, year, contact, three small links — set in small-caps geometric sans.

Notable: a hover-state on one of the number labels shows a slow ease-in-out 800 ms colour fade. Footer text is set at approximately 11 px with 0.06 em tracking.

What the user said

"I want my portfolio to feel like this. I'm a small product-design studio called Coelho — three people, mostly working with early-stage Lisbon companies. I have six projects to show. Use this design's DNA."
