The insert path puts the block's opener line right after the anchor's
indent (e.g. six spaces plus </body>), which transfers the indent
onto the opener line and leaves the anchor unindented in the injected
file. The remove path consumed the block's trailing newline but left
the pre-block indent behind, producing two bugs in one:
Before insert: ` </body>`
After remove: ` \n</body>` (orphan indent + unindented anchor)
Fix: capture `([ \t]*)` immediately before each marker and replace the
whole block (including its trailing newline and any trailing spaces on
the ender line) with just the captured indent. The indent now hands
itself back to the anchor line that follows — the file round-trips
byte-for-byte.
New tests/live-inject.test.mjs with four round-trip cases:
- HTML file with indented </body>
- JSX layout with indented </body> (EAC shape)
- Multi-file batch
- Column-0 </body> (no indent — already worked; regression baseline)
All four pass after the fix. Full suite clean via `bun run test`.

Three related extraction bugs surfaced in the EAC session all rooted
in the line-based state machine:
1. `<style ... />` (JSX self-closing) had no separate `</style>` for
the "skip until close" mode to exit on, so the state machine stuck
and every `data-impeccable-variant` marker after it got missed.
Accept reported `handled: false, error: "Variant N not found"`.
2. A variant whose entire `<div ...>...</div>` sits on one line had
its body silently discarded — the marker line was `continue`d past,
and the extractor started capturing from the next line, which
usually belonged to a different variant or the wrapper close.
3. `extractCss` kept scanning for `</style>` after a self-closing
opener, greedily swallowing every subsequent variant div as "CSS".
Result: a mangled carbonize block stuffed with HTML and a duplicate
variant rendered below.
## Fix
Replaced the line-based state machine with a string-based flow:
- `stripStyleAndJoin(lines, block)` returns the wrapper text with
`<style>` elements fully removed. Handles self-closing, same-line
open+close, and multi-line open/close. Markers inside CSS strings
(e.g. `@scope ([data-impeccable-variant="1"])`) are gone by the
time extraction runs — no false positives.
- `extractInnerByAttr(text, attrMatch)` is a balanced-tag matcher that
walks the joined text finding `<TAG ...attrMatch...>…</TAG>` with
proper depth tracking for nested same-tag elements. Handles
single-line, multi-line, and deeply nested variants.
- `extractOriginal` and `extractVariant` are thin wrappers over the
above.
- `extractCss` gets explicit same-line handling: returns null for
self-closing (nothing to carbonize), extracts inner content via
regex for same-line `<style>…</style>`, falls through to the
existing multi-line path otherwise.
## Tests
New tests/live-accept.test.mjs with four cases — all failing before,
all passing after:
- Self-closing `<style />` with dangerouslySetInnerHTML
- Single-line `<style>…</style>`
- Multi-line `<style>...</style>` (regression baseline)
- Discard restores the original element after self-closing style
Wired into `bun run test`. Full suite passes.

Five related bugs that surfaced in a real Next.js App Router project
(EAC) all rooted in live-wrap.mjs treating source as line-anchored HTML:
1. findElement matched on raw substring anywhere, so it landed on a
className continuation line of a multi-line JSX tag whose class
happened to collide with a later target. The wrong tag got wrapped
(really, its attribute line got wrapped, producing broken JSX).
2. findClosingLine's opener regex required whitespace or `>` after the
tag name, so a bare `<section\n className="..."\n>` opener was
unrecognised; it returned `start` silently, capturing only one line.
3. buildSearchQueries only emitted `class="..."`, missing React's
`className="..."`. The full-combo query never fired in JSX, so
search silently degraded to single-class substring matching.
4. Wrapper output used `style="display: contents"` unconditionally,
which is invalid JSX (type error in strict setups, parser hazard
in production transforms).
5. --tag was ignored during the primary class search. Ambiguous class
hits inside the wrong element type weren't filtered out.
## Fixes
- New OPENER_RE `/<([A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]*)(?=[\s/>]|$)/` recognises
tag openers at end-of-line too.
- New findOpenerLine(lines, matchLine, tag): walks up to 10 lines
backward to the enclosing opener when the match lands on a
continuation line. Aborts the walk if it hits a different tag.
- findElement now iterates all matches (not just the first), takes
a tag parameter, and routes through findOpenerLine; wrapCli passes
--tag through.
- buildSearchQueries emits both `class="..."` and `className="..."`
for multi-class queries, and both `<tag class="..."` /
`<tag className="..."` for tag+class combos.
- Wrapper builder emits `style={{ display: "contents" }}` when
commentSyntax is JSX and `style="display: contents"` otherwise.
- findClosingLine uses the same OPENER_RE so its tag-name extraction
works on multi-line openers too.
## Tests
Five new regression tests in tests/live-wrap.test.mjs, all failing
before the fix, all passing after:
- wraps the correct <section> when a class collides with a multi-line
tag elsewhere
- emits JSX-safe style attribute ({{ }}) in .tsx files
- finds elements via className= (React) when the exact class combo is
unique there
- respects --tag to reject matches inside the wrong element type
- findClosingLine recognises an opener line where the tag sits at
end-of-line (multi-line JSX)
31/31 in tests/live-wrap.test.mjs and 54/54 in
tests/framework-fixtures.test.mjs pass.

The content heuristic for deciding whether a deprecated skill dir belongs
to us returned false for harden and optimize (their v2.x SKILL.md never
said "impeccable"), while lock-entry cleanup used the authoritative
source field. Result: lock entries purged, dirs orphaned.
Layer three signals now: lock source (authoritative), word heuristic,
then per-skill description fingerprints for the two stock v2.x skills
that predate the self-identification convention.

Shape names renamed to describe the patch mechanism (what the agent does)
rather than the origin (where the CSP lives). One template now covers
multiple frameworks.
## Shape rename
- shared-helper → append-arrays
- inline-headers → append-string
append-arrays applies wherever CSP is a structured directive array.
append-string applies wherever CSP is a literal value string.
## New detection coverage
- SvelteKit kit.csp.directives in svelte.config.js → append-arrays
- Nuxt routeRules / nitro.routeRules CSP header → append-string
- Nuxt-security module's contentSecurityPolicy → append-arrays
## New fixtures
- sveltekit-csp/: SvelteKit config with kit.csp.directives. Includes
expected-after-patch.js showing the array spread.
- nuxt-csp/: Nuxt 3 config with routeRules CSP. Includes
expected-after-patch.ts showing the string splice.
## Skill docs
Single append-arrays template covers Next monorepo, SvelteKit, and
Nuxt-security. Single append-string template covers inline Next
headers() and Nuxt routeRules. Per-framework specifics listed as
sub-bullets under each shape.
54 tests across 9 fixtures, all passing. Clean fixtures (plain vite,
nextjs-app, astro, sveltekit, multipage-with-generator) still classify
as shape: null.
Astro and Vue (non-Nuxt) left unhandled by design: Astro has no
first-party CSP mechanism; Vue without Nuxt is covered by the existing
Vite fixture. Plain Svelte has no framework CSP primitive and inherits
from its bundler (Vite/Rollup).

Real-world tests (EAC Next turborepo) confirmed that CSP is the common
blocker for live mode. Adds setup-time detection with a one-time user
consent flow — the patch becomes a permanent, dev-guarded entry in the
user's own config, not a transient add/remove.
## Changes
- New detect-csp.mjs helper: grep-based classifier returning
{ shape, signals }. Shape is one of:
- "shared-helper" (monorepo CSP helper with additional*Src arrays)
- "inline-headers" (literal CSP string in headers())
- "middleware" (response.headers.set in middleware.ts; detect-only v1)
- "meta-tag" (<meta http-equiv>; detect-only v1)
- null (no CSP)
Max depth 6, skips node_modules / build / cache dirs, 64KB per file.
- cspChecked boolean on config.json. First-run setup runs detection;
subsequent runs skip. Users re-trigger by deleting the flag.
Validator accepts it.
- Skill live.md gains:
- CSP detection step in first-time setup (gated by cspChecked)
- Consent-prompt template (so every agent phrases it the same way)
- Shape 1 patch template: append `...__impeccableLiveDev` to
additionalScriptSrc/additionalConnectSrc in the app's config
- Shape 2 patch template: two-point edit — declare a dev-only
variable, interpolate into script-src and connect-src in the
CSP literal string
- Troubleshooting note for "said no but now live doesn't work"
## Fixtures
- nextjs-turborepo/: Turborepo shape (shared CSP helper with
additionalScriptSrc options). Sanitized from a real monorepo so the
patch mechanics get tested against realistic layering. Includes
expected-after-patch.ts for human/agent review.
- nextjs-inline-csp/: app-level next.config.js with a literal CSP
string. Includes expected-after-patch.js showing the Shape 2 edit.
## Tests
Framework-fixture harness extended with a detect-csp shape-classification
assertion per fixture. 42 tests across 7 fixtures pass. Clean fixtures
(vite-react, nextjs-app, astro, sveltekit, multipage-with-generator)
correctly return shape: null.
## Deliberately not doing
- No patches[] array, no marker-based rollback, no add/remove lifecycle.
The patch is a permanent dev-guarded config line — the same kind of
edit a user would make themselves.
- No base URL rewriting or proxy mechanism. Script tag still points at
localhost:8400; CSP permits it once patched. No browser-side changes.

Top-level .gitignore excludes dist/ broadly, which silently dropped the
multipage-with-generator fixture's files/dist/*.html from the previous
commit. The fixture tests need those files on disk to copy into the
tmp repo and assert is-generated behavior — without them, the test
suite fails on a fresh clone.
Added a negation pattern that re-includes tests/framework-fixtures/**/dist/
paths. The real dist/ output directories elsewhere in the repo remain
ignored.

Five representative project shapes under tests/framework-fixtures/ that
stage into fresh tmp git repos and drive the live scripts against each:
- vite-react: tracked index.html shell + src/App.jsx
- nextjs-app: app/layout.tsx as JSX inject target
- astro: src/layouts/Layout.astro
- sveltekit: src/app.html shell + src/routes/+page.svelte
- multipage-with-generator: src/ tracked, dist/ gitignored (our own
repo's shape); exercises the is-generated guard and
element_not_in_source fallback
Each fixture declares its config, expected source/generated paths, and
wrap cases in fixture.json. The harness copies into tmpdir, applies
gitignore, commits, then asserts:
- inject --port lands the script tag at the correct anchor across all
configured files
- inject --remove strips it cleanly
- is-generated classifies source vs generated paths correctly
- wrap routes to the expected source file or emits the expected
fallback error
Plumbing + bug caught while building out the matrix:
- IMPECCABLE_LIVE_CONFIG env var so tests can point live-inject at a
fixture-specific config.json without clobbering the harness copy.
Backwards-compatible.
- live-wrap.mjs no longer hardcodes dist/build in its directory skip
list. Only node_modules and .git remain universal skips; the
isGeneratedFile check is now the sole guard for generated paths. This
lets the includeGenerated second pass find elements in dist/ and
report generatedMatch, which is what the multipage-with-generator
fixture needs to exercise.
Wired into bun run test. 25 tests, 5 suites.

Adds a full annotation pipeline to /impeccable live. On Go, the browser
captures the selected element as a PNG (with annotations composed in),
uploads it to the live helper, and sends the generate event with the
screenshot path so the agent reads user intent visually instead of from
HTML alone.
Annotation tools (while an element is picked):
- Click inside the outline to drop a magenta comment pin with a text input
- Drag to paint a magenta SVG stroke (5 px click-vs-drag threshold)
- Click a pin to edit; double-click to delete; drag a pin to reposition
- Click a stroke to delete it (wider invisible hit path)
- Clear chip top-right wipes everything; hidden when no annotations
Capture pipeline:
- modern-screenshot vendored as an IIFE (scripts/modern-screenshot.umd.js)
and lazy-loaded from the live helper
- Font fix: cross-origin @font-face rules are fetched and fonts are inlined
as base64 data URIs before being handed to modern-screenshot via
font.cssText, since SVGs rasterized via canvas can't fetch external
resources (fix for "Impeccable" rendering bold-serif and items wrapping
wrong in the capture)
- Annotations are temporarily attached to the live element (not only the
clone) so computed styles resolve during the embed pass
- Session screenshots live in .impeccable-live/annotations/session-*/ in
the project root (gitignored) so the agent's Read tool doesn't trip a
per-path permission prompt
Loading shader (activates during GENERATING):
- WebGL overlay rendering the captured PNG as a halftone — cells with
luma-driven dot radius, rendered on paper-cream underneath a magenta
roller that sweeps top-to-bottom with a 3.4s cycle and clean overshoot
- Fixed asymmetric bandAt() using one-sided smoothsteps (previous reversed
smoothstep was undefined on d>0, giving "trail=1 everywhere below")
- Graceful <img> fallback when WebGL is unavailable; prefers-reduced-motion
freezes the band at t=0
Server:
- POST /annotation endpoint (raw image/png body, token + eventId query),
session-scoped tmpdir cleaned up on shutdown
- GET /modern-screenshot.js serves the vendored UMD with aggressive caching
- Optional screenshotPath / comments / strokes fields on generate events
- Fixed pre-existing /source crash on ENOENT (writeHead called twice)
Agent side:
- reference/live.md step 0 tells the agent to Read the screenshot first,
with four rules for interpreting annotations: comments are position-
anchored and scoped to the sub-element under their {x,y}; strokes are
gestures (loop=focus, arrow=direction, cross=delete); comments and
strokes are independent unless adjacent; don't silently guess on
ambiguous strokes
Also:
- Generating bar no longer claims "Generating 1 of 3..." (variants arrive
atomically) — now says "Generating N variants..."
- tests/live-server.test.mjs fixed to read the PID file from project root,
matching the server; adds coverage for the new endpoints and validator
fields
- .impeccable-live/ added to .gitignore

os.tmpdir() returns /var/folders/.../T/ on macOS, not /tmp/. The skill
reference was telling the agent to cat /tmp/impeccable-live.json which
didn't exist. Moving the PID file to the project root makes it
predictable across platforms and project-scoped (multiple projects can
run independent live sessions).
Changed in: live-server.mjs, live-poll.mjs, live.md reference.
Added .impeccable-live.json to .gitignore.

Tests:
- tests/live-wrap.test.mjs (26 tests): unit tests for buildSearchQueries,
findElement, findClosingLine, detectCommentSyntax (20 pure function
tests) + integration tests for the full wrapCli on HTML and JSX
fixtures with temp dirs (6 tests covering wrapping, ID/class lookup,
error handling, content preservation).
- tests/live-server.test.mjs (15 tests): integration tests that start a
real server on port 8499, then test /health, /live.js, /detect.js,
/poll (timeout + auth), /events POST (validation + auth), browser→agent
event flow (POST event → poll receives it), agent→browser SSE flow
(POST reply → SSE stream delivers it), /source (read, path traversal
rejection, auth, 404).
Also:
- Added auto-execute guards to live-wrap.mjs and live-poll.mjs so they
work when run directly with `node live-wrap.mjs ...` (needed for both
skill instructions and integration tests).
- Exported buildSearchQueries, findElement, findClosingLine,
detectCommentSyntax from live-wrap.mjs for unit testing.
- Updated package.json test script to include the new test files.

- Bump skills plugin version 2.1.1 -> 3.0.0 (plugin.json, marketplace.json,
harness SKILL.md files). CLI and Chrome extension unchanged.
- Remove prefixed universal zip bundle and all related code:
factory.js prefix/outputSuffix options, zip.js variant pass, utils.js
prefixSkillReferences, the "universal-prefixed" entry in
download-providers.js, and the matching test suite in utils.test.js.
- Redesign Get Started step 1 "Install the skill and CLI": two terminal
rows (npx skills + npm i -g impeccable) with paired notes, drop the
Recommended badge.
- Collapse "Other install methods" back into a <details> element so the
primary install path is the first thing users see.
- Simplify step 3 to "Add the Chrome extension": remove the CLI tool
block (now in step 1), use standard .btn .btn-primary for the CTA so
it matches other primary buttons (square corners, accent slide-up
hover), and lay out the preview screenshot next to the button instead
of stacked so the screenshot no longer dominates vertical space.
- CLAUDE.md: rewrite with v3.0 architecture, the "no em dash also means
no --" rule, the harness-dirs-are-tracked gotcha, the named-export
test-spy warning, and the evals inline-skill.ts sync note.
- AGENTS.md, DEVELOP.md: drop prefixed variant references.

Biggest change in a while. Users previously had 18 standalone skill
entries cluttering their /menu; now they have one entry (/impeccable)
that routes to 20 specialized commands via argument dispatch. The pin
mechanism (/impeccable pin audit) restores standalone shortcuts on
demand for commands users hit all the time.
## Architecture
- Single /impeccable skill with command router section in SKILL.md
- 20 commands served via reference files under source/skills/impeccable/reference/
- /impeccable pin <command> creates a lightweight redirect shim so users
who prefer /audit, /polish, etc. can still have them
- Context gathering (teach) auto-runs on first use
- command-metadata.json is the single source of truth for command
descriptions, argument hints, and relationships
## Site rewrite
- Docs URL: /skills renamed to /docs (with /skills permanent redirects)
- Homepage hero frames Impeccable as "one skill with 20 commands"
- "Get Started" split into 50/50 install + how-to-use with editorial
numbered steps, /impeccable shown as the home command with three modes
- New /docs overview: home command hero card + dense category rows
matching the old cheatsheet density, with leads-to/pairs-with/
combines-with relationship metadata served from a shared source
- Cheatsheet merged into /docs, /cheatsheet redirects
- Magazine spread and mobile cards show /impeccable as a stacked
namespace label above the command name at full display size
- Periodic table updated with craft/teach/extract as first-class cells
- Skill detail pages generate from reference files, with an editorial
wrapper per command for tagline + body
- Tutorials and anti-patterns pages updated to use /impeccable <cmd>
## Build system
- Dead code removed (scripts/lib/transformers/shared.js)
- Build log wording fixed ("1 skill" not "1 skills (1 user-invocable)")
- generateApiData fallback branch removed (throws loudly if metadata
missing instead of silently degrading)
- Commands API includes editorial tagline alongside the long description;
UI surfaces prefer tagline for human display, description for auto-
trigger keyword matching
## Gitignore
- Added .claude/scheduled_tasks.lock, .claude/settings.local.json to
ignore list (local Claude Code state that should not be tracked).
- Harness skill directories (.claude/skills/, .agents/skills/, etc.)
remain tracked by design: npx skills reads them from this repo at
install time and they enable clean submodule use.

generateYamlFrontmatter only re-quoted values starting with `[` or `{`,
but parseFrontmatter strips surrounding quotes on input. Descriptions
containing `: ` (e.g. "Also handles: critique...") round-tripped into

check covering colon-space, space-hash, YAML indicator chars, reserved
keywords, and number-like strings, plus regression tests.

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).

Bundled as source/skills/impeccable/scripts/cleanup-deprecated.mjs,
runs via the self-deleting <post-update-cleanup> section in the skill.
The script:
- Finds all harness skill dirs (.claude, .cursor, .agents, etc.)
- Deletes deprecated skill directories (arrange, normalize, onboard,
extract, frontend-design, teach-impeccable) and i-prefixed variants
- Verifies each file contains "impeccable" before deleting to avoid
touching unrelated user skills with the same name
- Handles both symlinks and regular directories
- Removes matching entries from skills-lock.json (only if source is
pbakaus/impeccable)

jsdom's CSSOM silently drops any border shorthand containing var(),
leaving the computed style empty — which hid the canonical real-world
side-tab pattern (border-left: Npx solid var(--brand)) from the Node
detector path. Real browsers resolve var() natively, so this only
affected the jsdom path.
Add a pre-pass that walks the stylesheets, reads border shorthands off
rule.style (jsdom preserves them there even when it drops them from
cssText), resolves var() against :root custom properties via the
documentElement's computed style, and attaches the result to a per-
element override map. checkElementBorders consults the map whenever
jsdom returned an empty width, or substitutes a resolved color when
jsdom kept a literal var() string. Hex and named colors are normalized
to rgb() so isNeutralColor can classify them correctly — without that,
--line:#e5e7eb slipped through as non-neutral.
Adds four flag cases and three pass cases to modern-color-borders.html
covering shorthand, mixed neutral+colored, border-right, card-shaped
label, neutral-resolving var, thin var, and uniform all-sides var.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix isNeutralColor to handle oklch, oklab, lch, lab, hsl, and hwb
with format-specific chroma/saturation thresholds. jsdom returns
these formats literally, so the previous rgb-only regex caused every
modern-format border color to be silently treated as neutral and
skipped by checkBorders.
- Flip the unknown-format fallback from neutral to colored, so
unrecognized color strings err on the side of detection.
- Introduce a narrower BORDER_SAFE_TAGS set (SAFE_TAGS minus 'label')
used only by the border checks. Card-shaped clickable labels with
thick colored side borders are now detected, while colors, motion,
and nested-card checks continue to skip labels to avoid false
positives on real form labels.
- Add tests/fixtures/antipatterns/modern-color-borders.html with 8
flag cases (oklch x3, oklab, lch, lab, plus 2 label cards) and
10 pass cases (neutrals across formats, plain inline labels,
thin/neutral-bordered labels, colored-on-all-sides).
Reproducer (preop-portal demo): side-tab findings rise from 0 to 12.
Emojis render as multicolor glyphs regardless of CSS \`color\`, so the
text color is irrelevant for contrast calculations. The detector was
flagging emoji icons as low-contrast whenever the surrounding bg/text
colors were close (e.g. an emoji card with text-color set to match
the bg). Adds an isEmojiOnlyText() helper that returns true when the
direct text consists entirely of emoji characters (and zero-width
joiners, variation selectors, skin-tone modifiers, regional
indicators), and skips both gray-on-color and low-contrast checks
when it's true.
Same insight fixes a missed icon-tile-stack detection: many AI-
generated cards use \`<div class="card-icon">⚡</div>\` where the
tile contains the emoji directly as text, not an <svg>/<i> child.
The detector now also recognizes these "inline emoji icon" tiles.
Both fixes are TDD'd: new test cases in color.html (two emoji cards
with matching text/bg colors) and icon-tile-stack.html (the inline
emoji tile pattern). The test suite went from green → red → green
across both rules.

The old rule used a fixed 8px floor on minPad, which produced false
positives on small inline pills (like the homepage's .detection-cmd
at 6px vertical / 14px horizontal on 13px font) and false negatives
on large text (a 24px heading with 8px padding all around passed
the floor but is genuinely too tight for the text size).
The new rule uses two independent axis thresholds that scale with
font-size:
vertical: max(4px, fontSize × 0.3)
horizontal: max(8px, fontSize × 0.5)
The asymmetry reflects typographic reality: line-height already
provides built-in vertical breathing room (the line box is taller
than the cap height), so vertical padding can be tighter than
horizontal. Both thresholds scale with font-size — bigger text
demands proportionally more padding.
Behavior changes
- Small inline pills with line-height-aware padding now pass
(.detection-cmd: V 6 ≥ 4, H 14 ≥ 8). The homepage CSS is unchanged.
- Cramped large text now flags (24px heading with 8px padding fails
H 8 < 12). The old rule missed this entirely.
- All original 8px-floor flag cases still flag — 4px on 14px text
is still 4 < 4.2 vertical, 2px is still cramped, etc.
- Snippet now indicates which axis failed and the specific threshold
for the font-size: "6px vertical padding (need ≥4.8px for 16px text)"
instead of the old "6px padding (need >=8px)".
Fixture
- tests/fixtures/antipatterns/cramped-padding.html is a new
comprehensive side-by-side fixture with 8 flag cases and 12 pass
cases spanning small pills, cards, code blocks, interactive
elements, and big text. Replaces the prior 3-case version.
Test
- tests/detect-antipatterns-browser.test.mjs asserts exactly 8
cramped-padding findings with detailed comments listing each
expected case and which axis fails.

The quality detection rules (line-length, cramped-padding, tight-leading,
tiny-text, justified-text, all-caps-body, wide-tracking, skipped-heading)
were originally added as browser-only and wired only into the overlay
loop. The CLI's jsdom path silently skipped all of them.
Two of the eight rules genuinely need real browser layout
(line-length reads rect.width for chars-per-line; cramped-padding reads
rect.width/height to filter small badges). The other six only need
computed CSS values and pure DOM walks — they can run in jsdom too.
Refactor
- Extract a pure checkQuality(opts) from checkElementQualityDOM, taking
pre-resolved lineHeightPx and letterSpacingPx so each adapter handles
its own unit resolution.
- Add resolveFontSizePx(el, win) — walks the parent chain to compute
effective font-size in pixels, handling px / rem / em / % through
inheritance. Browsers do this automatically in getComputedStyle, but
jsdom returns "0.875rem" verbatim, which broke naive parseFloat math.
- Add resolveLengthPx(value, fontSizePx) — generic CSS length → px
helper used for line-height and letter-spacing in the Node adapter.
- Extract checkPageQualityFromDoc(doc) and add a Node call site so
skipped-heading fires from the CLI too.
- Add checkElementQuality(el, style, tag, window) Node adapter and wire
it into detectHtml's element loop.
Tests
- New tests/detect-antipatterns-browser.test.mjs — Puppeteer-backed
runner that spins up a temporary static server (port 8765, mirrors
the dev server's /fixtures/* and /js/* routes) and uses detectUrl()
to load fixtures in headless Chrome. Asserts the two browser-only
rules (cramped-padding, line-length) that need real layout.
- New tests/fixtures/antipatterns/cramped-padding.html — focused
side-by-side fixture for the cramped-padding rule. Pass column
includes a faithful replica of .detection-cmd from the homepage
(the disputed "small inline pill" case the user is deciding what
to do with). Test asserts 3 findings: 2 from the obvious flag
column + 1 from the disputed pill.
- New tests/fixtures/antipatterns/quality.html — merged side-by-side
replacement for the orphaned quality-should-flag/pass.html files.
Covers all 7 typography-quality rules. The 6 jsdom-compatible rules
are asserted in the jsdom test; line-length stays in the Puppeteer
test.
- Delete the orphaned quality-should-flag.html / quality-should-pass.html.
- Wire the new browser test into bun run test (~2.6s overhead).
Coverage win: the CLI now catches tight-leading, tiny-text,
justified-text, all-caps-body, wide-tracking, and skipped-heading on
real projects, where it previously missed all six.

Each problem-space fixture is now a single file with two columns: left
for cases that should flag, right for cases that should not. Matches the
icon-tile-stack convention and makes browser-based visual review easier.
The pass column proves that no false positives leak from look-alike
patterns next to the real anti-patterns.
Merged (4 pairs → 4 files)
- color-should-{flag,pass}.html → color.html
- motion-should-{flag,pass}.html → motion.html
- glow-should-{flag,pass}.html → glow.html
- layout-should-{flag,pass}.html → layout.html
Left untouched
- should-{flag,pass}.html — used by the CLI smoke tests in
detect-antipatterns.test.js, which need a known-clean fixture for the
exit-code-0 path.
- typography-should-{flag,pass}.html — all three typography rules
(overused-font, single-font, flat-type-hierarchy) are page-level and
fundamentally can't share a page with their pass cases. Loading two
font stacks suppresses single-font; varied sizes suppress flat-type-
hierarchy. Documented in the test file.
Test calibration
- Hardcoded the jsdom finding counts (motion: 2 bounce + 2 layout-
transition; glow: 1 dark-glow). Real browser sees more because
jsdom doesn't fully apply class-based styles, but the pass-column
count is reliably 0. Browser-verified all 4 fixtures show expected
flag counts and zero pass-column false positives.
Fixture chrome fixes
- Sub-section labels (.col h3) now use #64748b instead of #94a3b8 so
the fixture's own UI doesn't trigger low-contrast. glow.html got a
CSS restructure into card-dark/card-light/card-medium variants so
every text/background pairing meets WCAG AA. layout.html's "card
with image" gradient changed from blue→purple to amber→rose so it
doesn't trip ai-color-palette.

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.

Previously checkColors bailed out whenever an ancestor used a gradient
background, since resolveBackground returned null. As a result, gray or
low-contrast text inside any gradient container was completely invisible
to both rules — e.g. the gray heading on bad-contrast.html.
Add a resolveGradientStops fallback that walks parents for gradient
stops and runs contrast against the worst-case stop, plus gray-on-color
when every stop is chromatic. parseGradientColors now also accepts hex
so jsdom fixtures with raw inline gradients work too. Extended the
color-should-flag fixture and tests to cover the gradient case.

Merges the impeccable-detect CLI repo (pbakaus/impeccable-cli@831a6cc)
into this repo. The BSL-1.1 license that motivated the split is gone;
everything is now Apache 2.0.
- Add bin/, src/, detection tests and fixtures from CLI repo
- Merge package.json: name → "impeccable", add bin/exports/files fields
- Internal refs now read from local src/ instead of node_modules/
- Update SPDX headers, NOTICE.md, CLAUDE.md, FAQ, npm README
- Add prepack/postpack scripts for CLI-focused README on npm
- Remove terminal license labels (no longer needed)

Tier 1: Add Vue/Svelte <style> block extraction and CSS-in-JS template literal
detection (styled-components, emotion) so anti-patterns inside framework-specific
syntax are caught. Enable multi-line context for CSS files so cross-line patterns
like gradient-text are detected.
Tier 2: Build a lightweight import graph when scanning directories. Findings are
annotated with importedBy context (e.g. "imported by App.tsx") in both human and
JSON output.
Tier 3: Detect framework config files (Next.js, Vite, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Astro,
Angular, Remix), probe the dev server port with HTTP fingerprinting to distinguish
the expected framework from unrelated services, and suggest URL-based scanning for
more accurate results.
Adds realistic Next.js project fixtures (Tailwind, CSS Modules, styled-components)
plus Vue, Svelte, JSX, and CSS-in-JS unit fixtures. 158 tests, 356 assertions.

Major skill consolidation for v2.0:
- Rename source/skills/frontend-design/ to source/skills/impeccable/
with user-invocable: true and argument-hint: "[teach]"
- Fold teach-impeccable body into impeccable as "Teach Mode" section,
activated via /impeccable teach
- Create deprecation shims:
- frontend-design: redirects to /impeccable
- teach-impeccable: redirects to /impeccable teach
- Update all 16 skill cross-references from {{command_prefix}}frontend-design
to {{command_prefix}}impeccable and {{command_prefix}}teach-impeccable to
{{command_prefix}}impeccable teach
- Update CLI sentinel detection to use 'impeccable' (with teach-impeccable
as legacy fallback)
- Update build system readPatterns() path and EXCLUDED_FROM_SUGGESTIONS
- Update all public files (data.js, cheatsheet, index, viz, demos)
- Update all documentation (README, NOTICE, AGENTS, plugin.json)
- Update all test expectations

Tests the full prefix lifecycle: detecting 'i-' from i-teach-impeccable,
undoing prefix (rename folders + strip from SKILL.md cross-references),
and re-applying prefix after update. Covers the scenario where
npx skills update needs unprefixed names from its lock file.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
E2e tests covering: already-installed detection, prefix rename with
cross-reference updates, direct-download update fallback, and full
npx-skills install flow (skipped if npx skills unavailable).
Fixed prefix rename to handle npx-skills symlink layout: real dirs
in .agents/ are renamed and content-prefixed, then symlinks in
.claude/ are recreated to point to the renamed targets. Uses
unlinkSync (not rmSync) for symlinks to directories.
Added -y/--yes flag for non-interactive CI mode, --prefix= flag
for headless prefix selection.

Overlays for elements inside position:fixed contexts now use
position:fixed with viewport-relative coords, so they stay pinned
on scroll. Extracted shared positionOverlay() helper for consistent
coordinate handling across highlight, reposition, and IO callbacks.
Updated fixture with a real fixed footer scenario.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Overlays are now created hidden and revealed by an IntersectionObserver
(rootMargin: 99999px), so they automatically show/hide when their target
becomes visible or invisible -- handles closed <details>, display:none,
hidden modals, overflow:hidden clipping, etc. without polling.
Adds overlay-positioning.html test fixture with 9 scenario groups
covering transforms, closed details, sticky, overflow, position offsets,
flex/grid, containing-block creators, and combinations.

Merges 54 commits from main including factory-based build system, Trae support,
improved skill descriptions, and security hardening. Consolidates the critique
skill to combine v2.0's sub-agent architecture and automated anti-pattern
detection with main's Nielsen heuristics scoring, cognitive load assessment,
persona-based testing, and structured follow-up workflow. Fixes browser detector
build to create target directory after skill sync.

Merge main (factory refactor) and adapt Trae to use the config-driven
transformer system instead of a standalone trae.js file. Two provider
entries (trae-cn, trae) replace the custom dual-directory logic.
Also adds placeholderProvider support to the factory for providers that
share placeholder configs but need separate output directories.

Research each harness's official documentation to verify and correct
provider frontmatter configs. Remove Codex/Gemini body transforms that
targeted their commands systems, not skills.
- Add compatibility + metadata to Cursor and Agents (Copilot)
- Add allowed-tools to Pi
- Remove Codex $ARGNAME and Gemini {{args}} body transforms
- Add HARNESSES.md as source of truth for harness capabilities

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)

PR #50 fixed the output SKILL.md files but the source files, build
scripts, tests, docs, and server code still used the wrong spelling.
Claude Code expects `user-invocable` (with c) for slash command
autocomplete to work.

New detections (browser-only, DOM-based):
- line-length: text wider than ~85 chars per line
- cramped-padding: <8px padding in bordered/bg containers (2+ borders)
- tight-leading: line-height < 1.3x on body text
- small-target: interactive elements < 44x44px
- skipped-heading: heading levels that skip (h1 then h3)
- justified-text: text-align: justify without hyphens: auto
- tiny-text: font-size < 12px on body text (>20 chars)
- all-caps-body: text-transform: uppercase on >30 chars of body text
- wide-tracking: letter-spacing > 0.05em on non-uppercase body text
Browser overlay improvements:
- Hover swaps label for detail tooltip (CSS-based, not JS events)
- Border goes transparent on hover to reveal element underneath
- Fixtures: quality-should-flag.html and quality-should-pass.html
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Detection improvements:
- Remove SAFE_TAGS from glow check (buttons/links with glows are valid)
- Add gradient color parsing (parseGradientColors) for AI palette
detection on gradient backgrounds including buttons
- Detect cyan neon text on dark backgrounds as AI palette
- Resolve gradient backgrounds as dark for glow detection
- Fix pure-black false positive on semi-transparent overlays (a >= 0.9)
- Skip low-contrast/gray-on-color when background is a gradient
- Fix "Only font:" double-colon in browser labels
Test performance:
- Split jsdom fixture tests to Node's test runner (bun + jsdom hangs
after ~13 instances due to resource leak)
- bun test for unit/regex/CLI tests (94 tests, 4s)
- node --test for jsdom fixtures (15 tests, 1.3s)
- Total: 109 tests in ~5s (was 280s+)

New detections:
- bounce-easing: flags bounce/elastic animation names, animate-bounce
(Tailwind), and cubic-bezier curves with overshoot (y values outside
[0, 1])
- layout-transition: flags explicit transition of width, height, padding,
margin, and max-height/min-width variants; skips transition: all
- dark-glow: flags colored box-shadow with blur > 4px on dark backgrounds
(luminance < 0.1); skips gray shadows, focus rings (no blur), and
non-dark backgrounds
Includes 48 new tests across unit, regex, and jsdom fixture tests with
dedicated should-flag and should-pass HTML fixtures for both categories.

The skill sync wipes .claude/skills/ and re-copies from dist, deleting
the generated browser script. Moved build-browser-detector.js to run
AFTER the sync. Dev server's /js/* route now falls through to
.claude/skills/critique/scripts/ for built artifacts. All fixture HTML
references use /js/detect-antipatterns-browser.js (clean URL).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The generated browser detector now lives alongside the CLI script in
.claude/skills/critique/scripts/ — clearly a build artifact, not a
hand-maintained source file in public/js/.
- build-browser-detector.js outputs to .claude/ instead of public/js/
- Dev server serves .claude/skills/* for local testing
- All fixture and antipattern-example HTML files updated to new path
- Puppeteer detectUrl reads browser script from same directory
- Browser parity test server updated to serve from .claude/
- Deleted public/js/detect-antipatterns-browser.js
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Major cleanup:
- detectUrl() now injects the browser script via page.evaluate() and
calls window.impeccableScan() instead of reimplementing all detection
logic inline. Removes ~80 lines of triple-duplicated code.
- Removed dead isPureBlackOrWhite function.
- CLI reduced from 1286 to 1212 lines.
New: Puppeteer-powered browser parity tests (detect-antipatterns-browser.test.js):
- Starts a local HTTP server for fixtures
- Loads fixture pages in headless Chrome
- Runs the browser detection script via impeccableScan()
- Verifies findings match expectations for all fixture categories:
borders, colors, layout, typography, partials
8 new browser tests catch desync between CLI and browser script
(like the WeakSet iteration bugs we hit earlier).
puppeteer added as devDependency.

Three fixes:
- Only flag innermost nested cards: if L1>L2>L3, only L3 gets flagged
(not L2). Uses ancestor-filtering after collection pass.
- Lower text threshold from 20 to 10 chars to catch short card content
like "Inner card via CSS."
- isCardLike now also checks raw inline style attribute for box-shadow
and border-radius (jsdom doesn't resolve CSS shorthands). Tightened
heuristic: shadow or border is mandatory (not optional).
Fixes false positive on layout-should-pass where a tinted subsection
(rounded + bg, no shadow) inside a card was incorrectly flagged.
