# SPARC Specification: GitHub Repository Visual Redesign

## 1. Specification (Understand)

**Goal:** Elevate the GitHub repository's visual and structural quality to a "Masterpiece" level. Ensure the README and documentation feel like an elite, high-performance product.

**Context:**
- Current README has basic sections and a banner.
- Documentation files are plain markdown.
- Aesthetic should be: Minimalist, Cinematic, High-Tier (Terracotta, Charcoal, Ivory).

**Constraints:**
- **Karpathy Mandate**: Don't use heavy GIFs or unnecessary bloat. Keep it clean.
- **Pocock Mandate**: Deep documentation. Clear navigation and hierarchy.
- **Visuals**: Use sophisticated tables, callouts, and clean formatting.

## 2. Pseudocode (Logic)

### 2.1 README Structural Overhaul
```markdown
- Hero Section (Logo, Banner, Catchphrase)
- Status Badges (Custom styled)
- Executive Summary (The Problem & Solution)
- Feature Grid (Visual & Informational)
- Core Methodology (The Loop)
- Installation & Quickstart
- Community & Support
```

### 2.2 Sub-page Refinement
Standardize footers, headings, and navigation headers for `MANIFESTO.md`, `SYSTEM_DESIGN.md`, etc.

---

## 3. Architecture (Refinement)

### 3.1 Visual Elements
- Use HTML/CSS in Markdown for custom-styled callouts (if supported by GitHub).
- Use high-quality tables with emojis for readability.
- Consistent branding across all `docs/`.

### 3.2 Navigation
Add a "Documentation Breadcrumb" to the top of every file in `docs/`.

---

## 4. Implementation Plan (Act)

1. **[Design]** Overhaul `README.md` with a bento-style feature grid and refined copy.
2. **[Standardize]** Apply a unified header/footer to all files in `docs/`.
3. **[Enhance]** Add "Quick Navigation" to the `MANIFESTO.md` and `EVOLUTION.md`.
4. **[Verify]** Preview the markdown to ensure it renders perfectly on GitHub.

---

## 5. Completion (Verify)

- All documents share the "Ironclad" voice and aesthetic.
- Navigation between docs is seamless.
- No "slop" or generic AI boilerplate remains.
