910 words to 682, same 35 rule markers, no guidance dropped.
- Two sections instead of three. "Absolute bans" and "detector-blind
reflexes" split the same list by whether our scanner happens to catch
it, which is a fact about our tooling and tells the model nothing about
the design. Merged into one Refuse list, grouped as page scaffolds and
surface habits, which is a distinction the model can act on.
- Folded three duplicates: text-overflow was already in the Type check,
the uniform section reveal was the other half of the Motion check, and
card-everything was already inside the card-grid ban.
- Cut explanation the model does not need. It knows what gradient text
is and what group-hover does; it needs the refusal, not the mechanism.
The gemini block goes from four sentences to three short ones, and the
motion palette line drops the CSS tutorial for "reach past transform
and opacity."
- The authority note moves to the header so no item has to hedge.

The detector-blind slop review existed because the AI-tell rules had been
stripped out of SKILL.md and nothing carried them. The floor is a better
home: it loads after concept ideation and immediately before editing UI,
which is the placement that made stripping them necessary in the first
place. Models tread lightly when a ban list is present during ideation;
by the time the floor loads, the direction is already committed.
- Rename build-floor.md to craft-floor.md and restore the absolute bans
(side-stripes, gradient text, glassmorphism, hero-metric, identical card
grids, eyebrow-on-every-section, numbered markers, text overflow), the
codex and gemini defect lists, and the reflexes no scanner catches.
Rule ids match the ones the ablation catalog already knows.
- Delete lib/slop-review.mjs and both injections. The Stop hook is now
purely a mechanical pass and stays silent with nothing to report.
- context.mjs replaces AI_SLOP_REVIEW_REQUIRED with the narrower
MANUAL_DETECTOR_REQUIRED, emitted only when a session has no hook at
all. A per-edit hook already covers the mechanical gap, and the floor
covers the judgment one either way.
