The CLI command `npx impeccable detect src/` was promoted in the
"New!" callout but it scans static source files — that's a separate
feature, not visual mode. Replaces it with a "Get the Chrome
extension" CTA which is the actual way users get visual mode in
their browser.
Also updates the lead text to drop the /critique-specific framing
and reframes the second feature blurb to mention all three usage
modes (Chrome extension, /critique embed, npx impeccable live).
The .detection-cmd class is restyled from a code-block-with-arrow
to a proper link/button with hover state, since it's now a CTA
rather than a shell prompt.

The previous footer split into two tiers with four different
interactive styles (plain underlined links, accent inline links,
round icon buttons, and pill CTAs with arrows). The hierarchy was
inverted — the loudest elements (Blog and Newsletter pills) were
secondary author plugs, while the actual primary nav was buried
as quiet underlined text.
Collapse to a single horizontal row with three groups:
- Impeccable wordmark anchored left
- 6 nav links centered in the middle column (auto / 1fr / auto grid)
- "Created by Paul Bakaus" + X + LinkedIn icons anchored right
Removed:
- Blog and Newsletter pill buttons
- Two vertical dividers between author elements
- Horizontal divider between the two former tiers
- The 36×36 round social-button background fill on hover
- Persistent underlines on all footer links
Interactive styles consolidated from 4 down to 2: plain text links
(nav + author credit) and inline icon links (socials). Both use the
same color → accent hover transition.
Mobile breakpoint reworked to stack the three groups in a single
centered column at 900px and below.

- Hero demo card no longer uses <h3> for its title, fixing the
h1 → h3 skip in the document outline. The "after" card now uses
<p class="impeccable-title"> matching the structure of the
corresponding "before" slop-card (which already used a <div>).
- Constrains .changelog-items and .faq-answer to max-width: 70ch so
long bullet points and FAQ paragraphs don't exceed comfortable
reading length (was hitting ~135 chars/line).
- Bumps the destructive-action warning text in the /clarify command
demo from #a16207 to #854d0e on #fef3c7, lifting the contrast from
4.4:1 (just below WCAG AA) to ~6.4:1.

A new icon-tile-stack detection (the canonical AI feature-card with a
small rounded-square icon container above a heading), backed by a
two-column TDD fixture, plus a single-source-of-truth design that ties
the engine to the impeccable skill so they can no longer drift silently.
Detection
- New icon-tile-stack rule (slop): heading's previousElementSibling is
a 32–128px rounded-square element with a non-transparent background
or border, contains an svg/icon-i child, and sits above (not next to)
the heading. Excludes round avatars, wide thumbnails, side-by-side
layouts, tiny icons, and hero images.
- Two-column fixture convention: a single icon-tile-stack.html with a
flag column (4 cases) and pass column (6 cases), with snippet-text
matching used by the fixture test.
Single source of truth
- Each ANTIPATTERNS entry can now declare skillSection + skillGuideline.
18 of 25 rules carry these fields; the build's new
validateAntipatternRules() in scripts/build.js fails if any declared
skillGuideline isn't found verbatim in the right SKILL.md section.
- scripts/build-extension.js now includes the description field in
extension/detector/antipatterns.json (it was previously dropped).
- The existing count validator was promoted from warn to error so
command count drift fails the build the same way detection drift does.
Impeccable skill DON'Ts
- Added 4 new top-level DON'Ts that target real default AI behavior:
single-font, flat-type-hierarchy, all-caps-body, line-length.
- Cut 7 new DON'Ts I had drafted (tight-leading, tiny-text, wide-tracking,
justified-text, low-contrast, cramped-padding, skipped-heading) because
they teach things every model already knows from CSS/a11y basics. The
detector still catches all of them.
Stale count cleanup
- 22 commands → 21 across 17 references in HTML, README, NOTICE, AGENTS,
plugin.json, marketplace.json (left over from the validate skill removal).
- Dropped the hand-coded "212 design guidelines" marketing copy on the
homepage, which never mapped to any real count.
Sub-agent
- New private .claude/agents/anti-patterns.md captures the full TDD
recipe, schema, plug-in points, jsdom constraints, and pre-commit
checklist so future sessions can add rules end-to-end without
re-investigating the wiring.

- Remove @impeccable/detect dependency, add impeccable dependency
- Set package.json to private (no longer published to npm)
- Update all references from @impeccable/detect to impeccable
- Update CLAUDE.md, NOTICE.md, FAQ, and changelog
- Rebuild all provider skill distributions

Build system now computes authoritative counts from source (22 commands,
24 detection rules) and warns about mismatches in HTML, README, plugin
configs. Generates public/js/generated/counts.js for frontend use.
Fixed 15 stale references across index.html, cheatsheet.html, README.md,
NOTICE.md, AGENTS.md, plugin.json, and marketplace.json. Changed all
"20 commands" to "22", "25 rules" to "24". Fixed v1.6.0 changelog date
(was March 24, after v2.0.0's March 20; now March 18).
Changelog entries are excluded from validation since historical counts
were correct at time of release.

Replace the sliding accordion with a 3D card stack for Gallery of Shame
(bottom-right deck offset with scroll/button nav). Patterns now use clean
pill tabs with single-column Don't/Do layout in a white container.
Also scaffolds two new skills: /validate (fast visual validation after UI
changes) and /craft (guided feature design through user interview).
Fixes detection count from 25 to 24, changes badge from "Deterministic"
to "New!".

Replace the detector summary card and badge system with a simple
inline note below the tabbed Do/Don't patterns: "/critique catches

- Anti-pattern detector script (source/skills/critique/scripts/detect-antipatterns.mjs):
CLI tool that scans files/dirs for UI anti-patterns via regex. Detects side-tab
accent borders and border-accent-on-rounded patterns across Tailwind, CSS, JSX.
Context-aware: skips safe elements (blockquotes, nav, inputs, code), neutral
colors, and adjusts thresholds based on border-radius co-occurrence.
- Browser visualizer (public/js/detect-antipatterns-browser.js):
Drop-in script that highlights anti-patterns directly in the browser with
labeled overlays. Two modes: "static" (regex, matches CLI) and "computed"
(getComputedStyle, catches CSS cascade). Scans both inline styles and
<style> blocks.
- Gallery of Shame (public/gallery.html):
Standalone page showcasing 11 AI anti-pattern examples with thumbnails
and links. Anti-pattern example pages updated from 1080x1080 Twitter
format to responsive layouts, labels removed, screenshots retaken at 16:10.
- Critique skill updated to run detector before manual review.
- Build system: skills now support scripts/ directories alongside reference/.
All 8 provider transformers refactored to use shared.js (DRY).
- 58 new tests covering detection logic, fixtures, CLI integration.

bleeding-edge browser APIs: WebGPU shaders, scroll-driven animations,
View Transitions, generative art, spring physics, and more.
Key design decisions:
