Marcos Paulo 580293867d refactor: retire the hand-written site
Deletes the pre-Astro pages, scripts, and stylesheets that the migration
replaced, and moves the ones it did not replace out of the way.

Deleted (32 files): app.js, responsive.css, landing.css, rules/app.js,
rules/styles.css, skills/app.js, the ten route index.html files, and the
root hands-on/ copy, which is byte-identical to public/hands-on/ -- the
one the build actually ships.

Moved to legacy/ (12 files): styles.css, full-guide/audit.css,
chapters.css, skills/styles.css, skills-review/styles.css,
skills-review/change-lens.css, and the skills-review/app.js module graph.
These are not dead. The Astro pages import them and the build fails
without them, which the plan had not accounted for. They go to legacy/
rather than src/ because check-tokens.mjs sweeps src, and these files are
full of raw hex and unnamed breakpoints: moving one into src/ should mean
migrating it to tokens in the same change, not adding a scan exclusion.
The prettier, stylelint, and eslint ignore lists that already named these
files at their old paths now name legacy/ instead.

verify.mjs no longer reads app.js. The 102 Portuguese strings were
extracted from its translations.pt object before deletion into
.agents/snapshots/full-guide-pt.json -- a legacy capture, not a snapshot
of the Astro build, so the assertion still compares against an
independent source. The brace-matching helper's assertion is replaced by
one that rejects an empty snapshot entry, without which trimming the
snapshot would make the presence check pass vacuously. Count stays at 84.

audit-ui.mjs reads the ten pages from dist/ and resolves Astro's
base-absolute hrefs against it.

Before deleting anything, rendered-text-diff was run across all ten
routes plus both Portuguese pages: every one at parity, 0 missing and 0
extra. That comparison is not repeatable once the legacy files are gone.
computed-style-diff on /full-guide/ stays at 32 differences, so the moves
are style-neutral.

Docs updated to match: README, AGENTS.md, GATES.md, the architecture
context, the operations guide's lab instructions, and the three skills
that told you to serve the vanilla site.

Publishing is not part of this commit.

# AI For Dummies
A lightweight, presentation-style field guide to AI-assisted engineering.
It explains how to combine a strong planning/review model with faster workers,
reusable skills, subagent handoffs, Git worktrees, and explicit verification. An
interactive field kit compares common behavior skills such as `ponytail-lite`,
`caveman`, `unlazy`, research, debugging, and review. The skill-forge workflow
covers discovery, triggers, package anatomy, progressive instructions,
structural validation, and behavioral iteration. The hands-on lab provides a
tiny starter project and copy-ready baseline and skill-enabled prompts for a
short side-by-side exercise. An interactive model gearbox separates capability
tier from reasoning effort across OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini, and every featured
skill links to a pinned source with an approval-first installation prompt.
## Run locally
This is an Astro static site. It builds to `dist/` and ships no runtime
dependencies.
```bash
pnpm install
pnpm run dev # http://localhost:4321/ai-for-dummies/
pnpm run build # writes dist/
pnpm run preview # serves the built output
```
Verify the content and interaction contracts with:
```bash
pnpm run verify # reads dist/, so build first
```
The full gate — `astro check`, `astro build`, `verify.mjs`, `audit-ui.mjs`,
`check-tokens.mjs`, and the assertion-count floor — runs as:
```bash
bash .agents/scripts/gate.sh
```
## Project structure
- `src/pages/` — one file per route: the landing route map, the complete
bilingual `full-guide`, the chapter pages, `rules`, `skills`, and
`skills-review`
- `src/components/` — blocks and islands; the interactive diagrams, selectors,
and the language toggle
- `src/content/` — the content collections every page renders from
- `src/styles/tokens.css` — the design tokens
- `legacy/` — the editorial visual system and the review-desk modules, not yet
migrated into components. Still imported by the pages that need them; see
`.agents/context/architecture.md`
- `public/` — assets copied to the site root verbatim: fonts, the hands-on labs,
and `submitted-skills/`
- `docs/references/` — bundled research sources and notes
- `docs/operations-guide.md` — canonical SilverBullet operations and skills
guide
- `public/hands-on/starter/` — dependency-free Tiny Tasks exercise
- `public/hands-on/rules/` — dependency-free Guardrails lab; toggles rule
sources into the prompt
- `skills/` — reusable design and rules-case-study skills
- `vote-service/` — small Go API + Kubernetes manifests backing the
skills-review vote widget (see `vote-service/README.md`)
- `GATES.md` — acceptance ledger for the project
## Publishing
The Gitea instance has a Pages Server configured to publish a repositorys
`pages` branch under `pages.marcospaulo.dev.br`. `pages` now carries the
**built** site — the contents of `dist/` — not a copy of `main`. The intended
site address is:
<https://netcracker.pages.marcospaulo.dev.br/ai-for-dummies/>
If the URL is not available yet, verify that the `pages` branch exists and that
the repositorys `pages` branch exists. Gitea itself does not provide a built-in
Pages server; this setup uses the instances separate Pages Server and Actions
deployment path.
For the complete authoring, verification, publication, rollback, worktree, and
skill workflow, see [docs/operations-guide.md](docs/operations-guide.md).
## Reader voting on the skills-review desk
`skills-review/` is static, so its "which draft would you ship?" vote widget
calls a separate stateful service — `vote-service/`, a small Go API on its own
pod, one vote per visitor enforced server-side by IP (a MAC address is never
visible to a server across the internet, so it cannot be used). See
[vote-service/README.md](vote-service/README.md) for the API, the anti-abuse
design, and the build/push/deploy steps; `src/pages/skills-review.astro` sets
`window.SKILLS_REVIEW_VOTE_API` to point at it once deployed.
## Research
See [docs/references/README.md](docs/references/README.md) for official Claude,
Codex, and Git documentation. The
[additional reading path](docs/references/additional-reading.md) bundles 12
verified articles and guides, including Medium and practitioner sources. See
[model routing](docs/references/model-routing.md) for current provider controls
and [verified skill sources](docs/references/skill-sources.md) for commit-pinned
provenance.
## Rules and enforcement case study
Open `/rules/` for a concise walkthrough grounded in the `netcracker/interview`
repository. It shows how `AGENTS.md`, project-local skills, machine-readable
repo ledgers, a UI contract ratchet, lint-staged, Husky, commitlint, specialist
verifier agents, and PR review reinforce one another. Every example links to its
source file in Gitea, and the page includes a copy-ready prompt for mapping the
same layers in another repository.
The implementation patterns are also packaged as project-local skills in
[skills/](skills/README.md). Use `editorial-playbook` when adding chapters or
sections, and `rules-case-study` when turning repository controls into a
source-linked teaching page.
