skill: strip example patterns from copy rules, strengthen gemini block

Browse Source 
v3.2 rerun validation surfaced two issues:

1. Copy-slop detector fires more on Gemini under v3.2 (48% → 84%) than
   under no-skill baseline. Root cause: the anti-aphoristic-cadence rule
   printed the literal "X. No Y." / "X. Just Y." patterns as examples,
   and Gemini imitated them as the recommended voice. Same recipe-becomes-
   bias trap we hit with brand.md:116's "Enormous display type, unexpected
   italic cuts, mixed cases, hand-drawn headlines" enumeration. Fix:
   describe the cadence as a rhythm ("serious statement, then punchy
   short negation") without printing literal patterns. Buzzword list
   trimmed to a single inline phrase family rather than quoted strings.

2. Gemini image:hover transform Gemini-tell hadn't dropped (31% off →
   32% v3.2). Strengthen the <gemini> block: explicit "Never animate
   <img> elements on hover", call out the Tailwind group-hover:scale /
   group-hover:rotate / group-hover:translate parent-hover patterns by
   name (Gemini was reaching for these via Tailwind even though the
   prior text talked about :hover on the image directly).

**Gemini-specific defect.** Adding superfluous `:hover` transforms to images (`transform: scale(1.02-1.05)` or `rotate(N deg)` on `<img>` elements) is your most common motion tell. Hover effects on images add no real information; the image isn't an action target. Don't add image-hover transforms by reflex. If a card containing an image needs hover feedback, animate the card chrome (subtle elevation, border treatment), not the image inside it.
**Gemini-specific defect — hard ban.** Never animate `<img>` elements on hover. This includes any `transform` on `:hover` of an image, AND `.group:hover .group-hover\:scale` / `.group:hover .group-hover\:rotate` / `.group:hover .group-hover\:translate` patterns from Tailwind that animate a child image via a parent hover. This is your single most common motion tell — it adds no information (the image isn't an action target) and reads as "AI animated this because it could". If a card needs hover feedback, animate the card's background, border, or shadow. Never the image, never via the image's parent.
