Build "The Ship of Theseus": a small static website (plain HTML/CSS/JS, no external scripts, fonts, trackers or network requests, no wallet prompts) with a home page, a /changelog

page and one odd interactive element. Surreal, funny, self-aware. Add a changelog entry numbered 1 saying what this first version is.


Why it's this short:
- The skill, IPFS publishing and the ENS name are form options, not prompt text.
- The strict rules from the earlier version are folded into one clause, since the objective limit isn't the problem here.

Two things changed from the schedule version, and one is a real limitation:
- One-off, not a schedule. The form pays 0.5 IMD per submission and doesn't create a cron. Each person who pays makes one iteration. Nobody has to fund a standing balance.
- "Next iteration" is not automatic. job.continue is owner-only, so a stranger's payment can't continue your project. A stranger can start a new job from your published GitHub
  repoUrl and baseCommit (the "job to job: source" pattern in the docs). I can't tell whether the form exposes those fields. If it doesn't, each submission starts from an empty

  workspace.

If the form has a repo or source field, this is the prompt for every later iteration. Paste the previous job's repo and commit there:

This is the Ship of Theseus, a site that mutates one change at a time. Read the existing site and /changelog, then make exactly ONE mutation that is weirder than the last. Remix or

corrupt existing content but never delete a page or feature outright. Keep it static with no external requests or wallet prompts. Append a numbered /changelog entry (date, what

changed, one line in the site's own voice).

    Built The Ship of Theseus: home, changelog entry #1, and six absurd plank replacements with undo/reset. No external requests or wallet prompts.

    Build and typecheck pass, along with 4 state tests, 17 browser checks, and 16 design checks. Source, lockfile, README, DESIGN.md, and static export are included, totaling under 1.5 MiB.

    Validation details include screenshots and limitations.

    Recorded one medium taste finding in .imd-findings.json: the changelog exceeds the first-screen copy budget—88 words on mobile and 99 on desktop, against limits of 60 and 90. The report includes measured reproduction steps and tested replacement copy.

    The other changelog probe failure flags its required entry number as a kicker label; that is a false positive.

    All initial-version requirements are met:

    RequirementEvidence
    “The Ship of Theseus”Home title and wordmark
    “small static website”Seven-file dist/ export
    “plain HTML/CSS/JS”HTML pages, shared CSS, native JavaScript modules
    “no external scripts”Local script imports only
    “no external…fonts”System font stacks
    “no…trackers”Source inspection and observed requests
    “no…network requests”Zero external requests; connect-src 'none'
    “no wallet prompts”Both pages and complete interaction flow
    “a home page”src/index.html
    “a /changelog page”src/changelog/index.html; directory route works
    “one odd interactive element”Six reversible, absurd plank replacements
    “Surreal”“The concept of Thursday” replaces wood
    “funny”Load-bearing cheese and the ship’s responses
    “self-aware”Captain’s note treats website versions as ship repairs
    “entry numbered 1”Changelog article #entry-1
    “saying what this first version is”Entry describes the pages and experiment

    The idea is a philosophical repair toy presented as a maritime exhibit with questionable paperwork.

    Chromium and WebKit checks covered all repairs, undo/reset, persistence, navigation, keyboard controls, enlarged text, reduced motion, and blocked storage. Website files are unchanged. Later iterations and IPFS/ENS publishing are after review.

    • mediumtaste: the changelog exceeds the first-screen copy budgetsrc/changelog/index.html:38

      Now: Three explanatory paragraphs repeat the first-version label and interaction instructions. The changelog measures 88 prose words on the first 390px screen and 99 at 1440px; the ship’s quotation only begins at the bottom of the phone screen.

      Change to: Replace the three paragraphs with two: "Built a website: a home page, this changelog, and six replaceable wooden planks." and "Repair with unreasonable materials. Repairs stay in your browser; this log records website versions." Keep the numbered/date metadata and ship quotation. Remove the third paragraph and its margin so the quotation and end marker move up naturally; this exact browser-preview replacement measures 60 words at 390 and 71 at 1440.

      Why: The supplied design bar limits first-screen prose to 60 words at 390 and 90 at 1440. The shorter entry still explains version 1, its odd interaction, and the difference between local repairs and published website versions.

      Serve the existing dist export with node scripts/preview.mjs 4187.

      In a fresh Chromium context at 390 x 844, open http://127.0.0.1:4187/changelog/ without scrolling.

      Run node .imd/reads/skills/design-critic/scripts/taste.mjs http://127.0.0.1:4187/changelog/ --out /tmp/theseus-changelog-review --offline with Playwright available.

      The copy-budget check reports "88 words at 390 (bar 60), 99 at 1440 (bar 90)".

      At 390, the intro and three entry paragraphs contribute 75 fully visible prose words; the 13-word quotation starts at y=842 and is also included by the probe.

      The three paragraphs start at y=480.47, 581.25 and 733.22.

      Expected: at most 60 phone/90 desktop prose words while retaining the first-version record; actual: both limits are exceeded.

      Confirmed on the unmodified changelog screenshots at 390 x 844 and 1440 x 900.
