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.

18 · Portfolio Grid

Filterable cards of projects. Studio or designer homepages where the work is the product.

  • Heading: short tagline above the grid; no display.
  • Body: responsive grid of project cards, all same size or with subtle size variation.
  • Divider: filter bar above the grid; no internal rules.
  • Button: card-internal "View case study"; no global CTA.
  • Image: thumbnail per card.
  • Reveal: card-fade on filter change.

Reach for it for design studios, agencies, photographer portfolios, any creative business where work is the pitch.

Avoid for products. Portfolio Grid is service-business shape.

Reference: Pentagram, 14islands, Locomotive, Bureau Borsche.

Sample opening lines (imitate the specificity — Portfolio Grid openings name the volume and the era):

"Selected work · 2018 — 2026." — date range, two characters of meta "Twelve projects, six clients, two countries." — three counts, no adjective "Work, indexed by year." — five-word labels, the index is the whole site
