* feat(skills): add html-artifact skill, fold in sketch + architecture-diagram + concept-diagrams
Adds a unified `html-artifact` creative skill that produces self-contained,
single-file HTML artifacts — concept explainers, implementation plans,
status/incident reports, code-review walkthroughs, technical + educational
SVG diagrams, multi-variant design comparisons, and throwaway editors that
export their state back to the clipboard. Grounded in Anthropic's
html-effectiveness gallery (MIT); the house style (token block, serif/sans/
mono split, hand-rolled diffs, inline-SVG diagrams, graceful degradation) is
distilled from reading all 20 reference files.
Supersedes and removes three overlapping skills, folding their unique value in:
- sketch -> the fidelity dial (throwaway vs presentation) + the
multi-variant comparison layouts + the browser-vision
verify loop (references/fidelity-and-verify.md)
- architecture-diagram-> the dark "infra" token variant + double-rect masking +
semantic component palette (references/dark-tech.md,
templates/diagram.html infra mode)
- concept-diagrams -> the 9-ramp educational color system + the concept
archetype library (references/concept-archetypes.md,
the light design system in templates/diagram.html)
Structure:
- SKILL.md (description exactly 60 chars), 6 references, 3 templates
- templates verified by headless-Chrome render + vision inspection
- editor export logic (file://-safe clipboard, Promise-normalized) verified in node
Cross-references updated in claude-design (new disambiguation table row drawing
the design-taste vs information-artifact boundary), design-md, pretext, spike,
and kanban-video-orchestrator. Website skill docs + catalogs regenerated;
stale EN/zh-Hans per-skill pages pruned and i18n cross-refs fixed.
Not folded (intentionally orthogonal): excalidraw (.excalidraw JSON), p5js
(generative canvas), claude-design / popular-web-designs / design-md (visual
design taste / brand vocab / token spec).
* feat(skills): ship html-effectiveness gallery as fetched reference examples
Add scripts/fetch-examples.sh (idempotent clone/pull of Anthropic's MIT
html-effectiveness gallery) + references/examples.md mapping each of the 20
example files to a mode so the agent reads the right worked example. The clone
lands in references/examples/ and is gitignored (it's a 384KB upstream repo,
not vendored). SKILL.md workflow + reference list now point at it; falls back to
the distilled pattern references when offline.
* feat(skills): make reading a gallery example a required authoring step
Reading the matching html-effectiveness example is now workflow step 2 (was an
optional aside in step 3): fetch the gallery, read_file the file for your mode,
mirror its structure. Models skip optional steps; the examples are the ground
truth, so consulting one is mandatory. Added an 'Example' column to the
mode->build quick-reference table and a 'don't skip the example' pitfall.
Also dogfooded the skill: read 03-code-review-pr.html and 13-flowchart-diagram.html
raw and reconciled the distilled references against source — aligned diff-row tint
opacity to the source's 0.15 (was 0.18) and added the .ctx/.hunk rows in
house-style.md + base.html so they match 03-code-review-pr.html verbatim.
* docs(skills): explain the consolidation + bundled-vs-optional rationale
The supersession note only stated *what* was folded, not *why* the prune is
sound. Expand SKILL.md's intro into a 'Why this skill exists' section: the three
former skills emitted the same artifact and overlapped, so consolidating removes
which-one-do-I-load ambiguity; and the optional->bundled promotion of
concept-diagrams is footprint-safe because this skill has zero deps (only cost is
the 60-char description; everything else is progressive-disclosure). States the
bundling dividing line explicitly: zero install cost + broadly useful gets
bundled, real install cost (hyperframes: Node+FFmpeg+Chromium) stays optional.
Regenerated website per-skill page to match.
Completes the Windows-gating coverage for the built-in skills/ tree. Every
bundled SKILL.md now carries an explicit platforms: declaration so the
loader (agent.skill_utils.skill_matches_platform) can skip-load skills
that don't fit the current OS.

5 skills gated from Windows (platforms: [linux, macos]):
mlops/inference/vllm (serving-llms-vllm)
vLLM is officially Linux-only; Windows requires WSL.
mlops/training/axolotl
Axolotl's flash-attn + deepspeed + bitsandbytes stack is Linux-first.
mlops/training/unsloth
Requires Triton + xformers + flash-attn — Linux only in practice.
mlops/models/audiocraft (audiocraft-audio-generation)
torchaudio ffmpeg backend + encodec dependencies are Linux-first.
mlops/inference/obliteratus
Research abliteration workflow; relies on Linux-focused pytorch
kernels and MLX — no first-class Windows path.
Same strict-over-lenient policy as the optional-skills sweep: when the
underlying tool's Windows support is rough, missing, or WSL-only, gate the
skill. Easier to un-gate after verified Windows support lands than to leak
partial support that manifests as mid-task failures.
Combined with prior commits in this branch, every bundled SKILL.md
(skills/ + optional-skills/) now has a platforms: declaration.
Capture the reusable layout and animation lessons from the advanced Pretext demo so the skill teaches measured obstacle fields, morphing geometry, and polished browser examples.
Adds a 'pretext' skill under skills/creative/ for building cool browser
demos with @chenglou/pretext — the 15KB DOM-free text-layout library by
Cheng Lou.
The skill documents pretext as a creative primitive (not plumbing): text
flowing around obstacles, text-as-geometry games, proportional ASCII
surfaces, shatter/particle typography, editorial multi-column, kinetic
type, and multiline shrink-wrap. Each pattern pairs with copy-pasteable
snippets in references/patterns.md.
Two single-file HTML templates, both verified in a browser:
templates/hello-orb-flow.html
Minimal starter: long paragraph flows around a mouse-tracked orb
using layoutNextLineRange + a per-row corridor-width function.
templates/donut-orbit.html
Full 3D Sloane torus with orbit controls (drag to rotate, scroll to
zoom, idle auto-rotate). Each 'luminance pixel' is a real grapheme
sampled in reading order from a prose corpus via pretext's
prepareWithSegments + layoutWithLines + Intl.Segmenter. Amber-on-
black CRT aesthetic, z-buffer keyed by screen cell, 60fps.
Related skills: p5js, claude-design, excalidraw, architecture-diagram.
