Builds on the /skills overview landing. Every skill detail page now lives
inside the same sticky-sidebar shell, with the active skill marked via
aria-current and pulled out of the list with a 2px accent border.
- scripts/build-sub-pages.js: detail pages now wrap the .skill-detail
body in wrapInDocsLayout() and pass currentSkillId into the sidebar
renderer so the active row is marked
- public/css/sub-pages.css sidebar pass:
- Narrow from 260px to 200px (was way too wide for the content)
- Drop the redundant "Skills" label at the top (it was visually
competing with the category titles); keep the node for a11y via
visually-hidden styling
- Group titles shrink to 0.625rem mono uppercase in --color-ash so
they read as quiet signposts, not headings
- Tighten item line-height to 1.5 and vertical padding to 3px
- Replace the box-shadow inset accent with a border-left accent on
the active item, leaving it visually pulled left
- Simplify .skill-detail sizing so it works inside .skills-main
without its own max-width / padding
- Ban em dashes in user-facing copy everywhere:
- Rewrite 9 copy lines in index.html, 2 title tags in gallery.html,
inline category descriptions, the /skills overview lede + how-to,
two skills-generator comments, one aria-label, and the page titles
for Skills and skill detail pages
- New validateNoEmDashes step in scripts/build.js scans content/site,
public/*.html, and the sub-page generator sources. Build fails on
any — or — in user-facing copy. Uses commas, colons, periods,
or parentheses instead
Build green: all 26 HTML entrypoints bundle cleanly, all four hand-authored
pages retain the shared site header, anti-pattern rules still match
SKILL.md, zero em dashes.
Ships the first new sub-page section. Every user-invocable skill now has
its own page at /skills/{id}, with the canonical SKILL.md body rendered
via marked. The index at /skills lists all 21 skills grouped by category.
Editorial wrappers are opt-in: if content/site/skills/{id}.md exists, it
renders above the canonical body (with a "The skill itself" divider).
All 21 pages currently ship with the auto-rendered body only; hand-written
wrappers land in the next few commits.
- scripts/lib/sub-pages-data.js: builds the data model. Reuses
readSourceFiles() from lib/utils.js for skill content; parses the
ANTIPATTERNS array out of src/detect-antipatterns.mjs; reads optional
editorial wrappers from content/site/skills/*.md; validates that every
user-invocable skill has a category entry (build fails loudly if not).
- scripts/build-sub-pages.js: orchestrator. Writes generated HTML into
public/skills/*.html (gitignored). Called from both scripts/build.js
(before buildStaticSite) and server/index.js (at module load) so dev
and prod share the same generation code path.
- scripts/lib/render-page.js: new assetDepth parameter so generated
pages one level deep under public/ use relative paths (../favicon.svg,
../css/sub-pages.css) that Bun's HTML loader can resolve on disk.
- scripts/build.js: pass generated files into Bun.build entrypoints;
post-process to flatten build/public/* → build/* (Bun preserves the
public/ prefix when entrypoints span multiple depths).
- server/index.js: generateSubPages() runs at module load; new routes
/skills, /skills/:id, /anti-patterns, /tutorials, /tutorials/:slug
serve the pre-generated files via Bun.file().
- public/css/sub-pages.css: adds sub-page layout shell, skills index
grouped-list styling, skill detail header/meta chips/divider, collapsed
<details> reference sections, and a .prose block for rendered markdown
with editorial typography, code blocks, and inline code.
Verified: bun run build produces 26 HTML files (4 hand-authored + 22
generated), all flat under build/. Dev server returns 200 on /skills,
/skills/polish, /skills/impeccable, /skills/critique. Tests pass.
