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.

Adds the three /impeccable usage modes (freeform, teach, craft) to the
command demo, with a clearer multi-pane layout. Also tightens the
commands grid spacing on the site and refreshes the framework viz and
glass terminal styles for consistency.

Refactors the extension for on-demand injection (no static content_scripts
entry — content script and detector are loaded only when the user actively
opens the Impeccable panel, sidebar pane, or popup). Adds a new "Auto-scan"
preference (default: scan when the Impeccable panel opens, opt-in: scan
when DevTools opens) plus configurable line length (strict/lax) and
highlight blur on/off settings. Adds an Elements panel sidebar that shows
findings for the currently selected element.
Includes substantial overlay UX work: page-pixel-perfect spotlight mask
via clip-path, refined hover/dim states, instant transitions for snappier
feel, copy buttons for findings, hover-from-panel highlighting, and a
brand-aware exception list so the font check no longer flags Roboto on
Google's own properties.
Robustness fixes for the MV3 service worker lifecycle: heartbeat keepalive
plus auto-reconnecting ports across panel/sidebar/devtools so transient
SW restarts don't break the panel UI, and immediate teardown on DevTools
close (replacing an unreliable setTimeout-based defer that didn't survive
SW termination).

- Switch staircase to grid at 1200px (was 1024px) to prevent tall
stairs from clipping at narrow desktop widths
- Add 2-col grid at 768px, compact horizontal cards at 520px
- Fix count crowding heading: use overflow hidden to gracefully
hide count when card is too narrow instead of wrapping or cramming

Each of the 7 dimension icons now has a continuous subtle animation
(breathing draws, pulsing circles, bobbing ball, blinking cursor,
toggle wobble) plus an enhanced hover effect. Responsive icon uses
transform-box: fill-box for a staggered desktop-to-mobile reflow.

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!".

- Shrink fisheye list to 400px and vertically center it so items align
with magazine spread content area
- Sharpen fisheye mask gradient for cleaner edge fade
- Prevent spread-flow ("leads to" etc.) from wrapping to multiple lines
- Sort fisheye/spread commands by category order instead of arbitrary
- Add beta badges to fisheye items
- Remove border-right on spread-identity and border-top on demo caption
- Add "Teach it your design" as step 2 in Get Started section
- Make spread-command-name nowrap, remove word-break/hyphens

Rewrote fisheye layout to use position:absolute items with accumulated
scaled heights. Active item always stays at vertical center by adding
scrollTop to the offset calculation. Spacing compresses naturally for
scaled-down items. Gentler opacity fade (0.3 floor) so size is the
primary visual cue. Tighter CSS mask edges.

Replace the old scrollspy + glass terminal layout with:
- Editorial magazine spread: one command at a time with big display
type name, category label, description, relationships, and
before/after demo
- Fisheye command list: vertical scrollable list with transform-based
scale effect (0.4x to 1.0x), smooth center detection, synced to
the active spread. Index-based math avoids layout oscillation.
- Removed deprecated commands (teach-impeccable, frontend-design)
from the browsable list
- Removed transition lock that blocked rapid scrolling updates
- Mobile layout preserved (existing carousel)

- Replace tabbed pattern viewer with animated horizontal disclosure
(inspired by jh3y/XJWNMOO): CSS Grid column transitions, hover to
expand, rotated vertical labels, icon anchored at bottom
- Don't/Do toggle in each panel (defaults to Don't)
- Gallery of Shame as 2-column thumbnail sidebar beside the disclosure
- Detection callout as horizontal strip below
- Responsive: stacks at 1060px, gallery becomes 3-col grid
- Remove all em dashes from anti-pattern text (AI slop tell)

Fixes#67: argument-hint values starting with [ were parsed as YAML flow
sequences. Replace structured args arrays in source files with pre-formatted
argument-hint strings, and quote values starting with [ or { in
generateYamlFrontmatter().
Also consolidates 8 nearly-identical transformer files into a single
config-driven createTransformer() factory. Adding a new provider now
requires only a config object in providers.js instead of a full file.
- Replace args source frontmatter with argument-hint strings
- Add YAML quoting for values starting with [ or {
- Add quote stripping to parseFrontmatter() for round-trip support
- Create factory.js + providers.js, delete 8 individual transformers
- Replace 16 explicit build.js calls with a loop over PROVIDERS
- Consolidate 8 test files into 2 (factory + providers)
