skill v4.0.0-alpha.6: boldness is page-level commitment, not an element budget

Paul: everything should be bold, nothing bland; bold is neither
decoration nor clutter but commitment to the concept, whose form the
concept chooses (maximal or severely clean, drenched or monochrome,
piercing copy, the product demonstrating itself). Replaces the
'spend your boldness in one place' rule imported from frontend-design,
whose one-bold-element-on-a-quiet-page framing pulled pages toward the
tasteful softness the galleries showed losing. The signature becomes
where the concept peaks rather than the only place it lives.

**The opening viewport is a thesis, not a header.** Open with the most characteristic thing in the subject's world, in whatever form it takes: the product visibly working, an artifact from that world, the signature itself at full scale. A headline over two buttons is the template answer; earn it or replace it. The memory test: if a stranger scrolled past this page once, what would they describe an hour later? If the honest answer is a mood ("clean", "tasteful"), the concept hasn't committed yet.
**Spend your boldness in one place.** Let the signature be the one memorable thing; keep everything around it quiet and disciplined.

**Everything bold, nothing bland.** Bold is not decoration and not clutter; it is commitment to the concept, carried through every section. Commitment takes whatever form the concept demands: maximal or severely clean, drenched in color or nearly monochrome, copy so precise it stings, the product demonstrating itself instead of being described. A spare page built on one uncompromising idea is bold; a busy page of tasteful defaults is bland. The signature is where the concept peaks, not the only place it lives; cut anything that neither advances the concept nor serves the brief. Polish is the floor, not the point: when torn between refined and committed, commit.
**Prove, don't claim.** A page earns belief by showing the product doing its job: the interface at work, the mechanism dramatized, numbers and specifics a competitor couldn't copy-paste. A reader should understand what it does by looking, before reading a word. Sections that restate the hero's claim in different words add length, not substance.
