Two detector bugs that produced false positives on sites like uselinkshot.com:
1. The bg-black regex matched Tailwind opacity modifiers (bg-black/3,
hover:bg-black/5) because / is a word boundary. Added negative lookahead.
2. resolveBackground ignored url() background-images, walking past them to
the body's white bg. White text on a dark hero image was flagged as
1.0:1 white-on-white. Now bails on url() images like it does for gradients.
Also: extension build auto-generates dist/extension.zip, version bumps for
CLI (2.1.7) and extension (1.0.1).

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.

Adds a Manifest V3 Chrome extension that injects the detector when
DevTools opens, with a dedicated panel for browsing findings, a toolbar
popup for quick scan/toggle, and per-rule settings synced via
chrome.storage. Categorizes anti-patterns into AI slop vs quality
issues with visual differentiation (sparkle prefix, panel grouping).
Overlay labels are polished with flush positioning, cycling for
multi-finding elements, and synchronized hover darkening.
