Monospace is fine when used intentionally - the issue is lazy "dev tool"
defaults, not the typeface itself.

- Restored DO/DON'T format in individual sections (required for website)
- Added new "Visual Details" section for glassmorphism, sparklines, etc.
- Added new AI slop patterns: gradient text, dark mode with glowing accents,
hero metric layout, identical card grids, thick colored border on one side
- Added "The AI Slop Test" section for commands to reference
- Commands now reference "DON'T guidelines" (one source of truth)
- Build now shows 16 pattern categories (was 0)

- Removed scattered DON'Ts from individual Frontend Aesthetics sections
- Created ONE "Anti-Patterns (CRITICAL)" section with two sub-sections:
- AI Slop Tells: cyan-on-dark, gradient text, glassmorphism, hero metrics, etc.
- Design Anti-Patterns: gray on color, nested cards, bounce easing, etc.
- Added new pattern: "Rounded element with thick colored border on one side"
- Commands now reference the skill's Anti-Patterns section instead of duplicating
- Easier to maintain: one place to update

Critical addition: Both commands now check for AI-generated aesthetic tells:
- Cyan-on-dark, purple-to-blue gradients, neon accents
- Gradient text, glassmorphism, hero metric layouts
- Monospace typography, sparklines as decoration
- Identical card grids, generic fonts, rounded rectangles
Reports now start with "AI Slop Verdict" - pass/fail on distinctiveness.
This is the most important quality signal for shipping work that doesn't
look like every other AI-generated interface.

Users can now toggle "Prefix commands with /i-" in the download section
to get bundles with all commands prefixed (e.g., /i-audit instead of /audit).
This helps avoid conflicts with existing custom commands.
Build system changes:
- Transformers now accept optional prefix/outputSuffix parameters
- Build generates both unprefixed and i-prefixed variants
- ZIP bundles created for both variants
UI changes:
- Add toggle switch to download section
- Toggle controls which bundle variant gets downloaded
- Styled to match existing design language
