Page Build

Build quality comes after strategic fidelity, not before it.

This stage assembles the page while preserving what matters for trust and conversion.

Required inputs

1. workspace/pages/[page-name]/strategy.json
2. workspace/brand/profile.md
3. workspace/brand/palette.json
4. workspace/pages/[page-name]/copy.md
5. workspace/pages/[page-name]/visuals/
6. references/anti-slop.md (bundled with this skill)

If strategy is missing, stop.

If workspace/pages/[page-name]/visuals/manifest.json exists, use it as the canonical machine-readable visual source. Do not ignore provider metadata when it affects trust, fidelity, or fallback history.

Preservation hierarchy

Apply in this order:

1. preserve trust-critical category conventions
2. preserve mechanism communication needs
3. preserve brand visual identity
4. improve layout rhythm and interaction quality
5. apply anti-slop taste improvements only where they do not distort 1-4

Anti-slop is a quality filter, not a redesign license.

Pre-build checklist

Before generating HTML, confirm:

• page type confirmed
• conversion mechanism confirmed
• proof inventory loaded
• trust cues selected
• visual manifest resolved into build-ready image paths
• required category conventions preserved
• CTA destination known
• layout choice justified in one line

If any are false, stop or downgrade.

Routing logic

Physical product route

Use when strategy page type is product-led.

Above fold must include:

• clear product or mechanism visual
• offer headline
• CTA
• trust cue

SaaS / app route

Above fold must include:

• preserved screenshot or UI treatment if required
• outcome headline
• trust cue
• CTA

Lead capture route

Above fold must include either:

• form + friction reducer or
• clear CTA into a known destination

Authority / service route

Must include:

• authority cue above fold
• proof section early
• objection handling around trust and fit

Regulated route

Must include:

• downgraded certainty when proof is partial
• compliance review flag in metadata

Design rules

• single HTML file
• responsive at minimum 768px and 1024px breakpoints
• semantic HTML
• visible focus states
• alt text on all images
• no builder attribution unless explicitly requested
• no imported taste pattern that overrides source trust cues

Anti-slop usage

Load references/anti-slop.md and apply it after the preservation hierarchy, not before.

Post-build QA table

Write this into workspace/pages/[page-name]/qa.md and summarize in meta.json:

Check	Pass?	Notes
mechanism visible above fold
primary proof visible above fold
CTA above fold
trust cue above fold
no invented proof
no banned slop patterns
mobile collapse checked
contrast checked
alt text present
category convention preserved

Metadata contract

meta.json must include:

• brand
• page
• page_type
• mechanism_type
• template_route
• CTA_destination
• proof_items with provenance summary
• risk_reversal_present
• compliance_flags
• review_flags
• preserved_elements
• deviations_from_source
• images_used
• sections_present
• build_confidence

When a visual manifest exists, also include:

• hero_image
• image_provider_policy
• images_used as structured objects, not only bare filenames
• provider and fallback context when relevant to review or QA

Build helper

Use scripts/resolve-visual-assets.py --page-name [page-name] to convert visuals/manifest.json into build-ready image metadata for HTML and meta.json.

Then use scripts/prepare-build-meta.py --page-name [page-name] --resolved-assets [file] to merge those resolved assets into meta.json with deterministic selection fields:

• hero_image
• mechanism_image
• lifestyle_image
• og_image
• image_slots.hero
• image_slots.mechanism
• image_slots.lifestyle
• image_slots.og

Then use skills/page-build/scripts/html-image-context.py --meta workspace/pages/[page-name]/meta.json to emit literal HTML-ready values such as:

• hero_img_src
• hero_img_alt
• mechanism_img_src
• mechanism_img_alt
• lifestyle_img_src
• lifestyle_img_alt
• og_image_path

Minimal executable builder:

• skills/page-build/scripts/build-page.py --page-name [page-name] This consumes strategy.json, meta.json, and html-image-context.json and writes a real index.html scaffold.

Use the skill-local scripts as the primary interface for Cowork or any agent runtime that only uploads the skill folder. The repo-root /scripts copies are local development conveniences, not a packaging requirement.

Eval Reference

For scoring criteria and pass thresholds, see skills/page-qa/references/eval-rubric.md. For anti-slop patterns, see references/anti-slop.md (bundled with this skill).

Stop / continue logic

Stop if:

• CTA destination is unknown for a lead action page
• page depends on proof that is missing
• required trust cues cannot be supported

Continue with downgrade if:

• visual assets are partial but neutral support layout still works
• proof is light but the page is reframed to softer claims

Output

Write:

• workspace/pages/[page-name]/index.html
• workspace/pages/[page-name]/meta.json
• workspace/pages/[page-name]/qa.md

A build without QA output is incomplete.
