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.
- Kill double underlines on nav items and brand: scope '.site-header a
{ text-decoration: none }' more specifically so the page-level 'a'
rule in main.css can't bleed through
- Add an inline SVG logo mark next to the 'Impeccable' wordmark (reuses
the favicon.svg glyph, inlined so Bun's HTML loader doesn't try to
bundle '/favicon.svg' from a non-relative path)
- Add a subtle GitHub star pill (icon + 17k + small star) at the far
right of the header; replaces the bare 'GitHub' nav text link
- Remove the duplicate .github-link floater from the hero on the landing
page; the header pill is the single place for the stars signal now
- Mobile: stop nav items from wrapping mid-word; lower the breakpoint
to 820px; enable horizontal scroll with a mask fade on the right;
hide the 'Home' link on mobile (the brand is already the home link);
hide the brand wordmark below 480px (logo glyph alone); hide the 17k
label inside the github pill on mobile (keep the icon + star)
Groundwork for new /skills, /anti-patterns, /tutorials sections.
No user-visible changes yet — this is pure plumbing.
- Split main.css into tokens.css (design tokens + reset, ~100 lines) and
main.css (everything else, imports tokens.css). Lets sub-pages import
only tokens without pulling in the landing-page component CSS.
- Add marked as a dependency.
- Add scripts/lib/render-markdown.js: marked wrapper with a custom link
resolver (skill slugs, reference/*.md anchors, external rel=noopener),
stable heading slugger, and terminal-style code blocks.
- Add scripts/lib/render-page.js: page shell wrapper that injects the
shared site header partial with aria-current marking.
- Add content/site/partials/header.html: shared site header with nav
(Home / Skills / Anti-Patterns / Tutorials / Gallery / GitHub).
- Add public/css/sub-pages.css: shared styles for generated pages, with
.site-header styling (sticky, backdrop blur, accent-underlined active
nav item) and mobile collapse.
Build still produces the same 104 KB landing-page CSS chunk; tests pass.
