Paul BakausandClaude Opus 4.6 473dbd52ef Trim SKILL.md plumbing; extract context + pin protocols to references
Before: 422 lines. After: 386 lines. The cut is conservative because
evals/AGENT.md revealed that most of what looked like bloat is actually
load-bearing: the font_selection_procedure with its 23-font ban list
(lesson 6), the theme_selection with audience examples (lesson 9), and
the absolute_bans with literal CSS patterns (lesson 7) all drive
measurable eval improvements and must stay inline.

What moved out of SKILL.md:
- Context Gathering Protocol (52 → ~18 lines). The full protocol — cache
  semantics, dispatch tree, teach/document/live exceptions, why-it-matters
  — moved to reference/context.md. SKILL.md keeps only the compact hook:
  load command, "never infer from codebase" warning, and pointer.
- Pin/Unpin (14 → 6 lines). Details moved to reference/pin.md.
- Spatial principles: dropped 4pt-vs-8pt rationale, gap-vs-margins CSS
  technicality, and container-queries-vs-viewport explanation (not
  load-bearing in the main skill). Kept all load-bearing rules
  including the 80-char body-text line (detector-backed).

What did NOT move (load-bearing per evals):
- <font_selection_procedure> with the 23-font ban list
- <theme_selection> with the 8 audience examples
- <absolute_bans> with literal CSS patterns
- All XML tag structure (lesson 8: XML works better than markdown
  for reasoning models, especially OpenAI)

Also added:
- reference/context.md (new) — full context protocol
- reference/pin.md (new) — full pin/unpin docs
- "Never infer brand, audience, or tone from the codebase" warning
  restored to SKILL.md (was dropped in an earlier refactor)

Fixed:
- reference/colorize.md had "Accent borders: Add colored left/top
  borders to cards or sections" which directly contradicted
  SKILL.md's absolute_ban on border-left/right > 1px. Rewrote the
  accent-border advice to use hairline borders, surface tints, or
  leading glyphs instead, with an explicit reference to the ban.

Pin / Unpin

Commands that create or remove standalone slash-command shortcuts for frequently-used sub-commands.

What it does

Pin creates a lightweight standalone skill so {{command_prefix}}<command> invokes {{command_prefix}}impeccable <command> directly. Example: {{command_prefix}}impeccable pin audit creates {{command_prefix}}audit as a shortcut for {{command_prefix}}impeccable audit.

Unpin removes a previously pinned shortcut.

The pinned skill is a thin redirect — it doesn't duplicate the sub-command reference, it just forwards to the impeccable router.

Usage

node {{scripts_path}}/pin.mjs pin <command>
node {{scripts_path}}/pin.mjs unpin <command>

The script writes to every harness directory present in the project (.claude/, .cursor/, .codex/, .agents/, .gemini/, etc.) so pinned shortcuts work across every AI coding tool the user has installed.

Valid commands

Any impeccable sub-command name is a valid pin target: craft, shape, teach, document, extract, critique, audit, polish, bolder, quieter, distill, harden, onboard, animate, colorize, typeset, layout, delight, overdrive, clarify, adapt, optimize, live.

Reporting back

After running the script, report what happened:

  • Pin success: confirm the new shortcut (e.g. "Pinned. You can now use {{command_prefix}}audit as a shortcut for {{command_prefix}}impeccable audit.").
  • Unpin success: confirm removal.
  • Errors: relay the script's stderr verbatim — usually the command name was invalid or the pin already/doesn't exist.
