Explainer trilogy: drafted, built, and shipped in two formats
Three-part LTP explainer series in explainers/, replacing the earlier single story/
piece as the project's introductory narrative. Each piece went through a script pass
(draft → self-critique → independent fresh-agent critique with no authorship context →
revision), then a visual build.
- Added
skills/scrollable-explainer/— general-purpose write-up of the scroll-driven ("scrollytelling") explainer form, with a full measured teardown of a ProPublica piece as the worked case study. - Wrote and built three pieces: The Wrong Queue (
01-bottleneck), The Arrows Nobody Checks (02-thinking-made-visible), Five Shapes (03-five-shapes). - Each part now ships in two forms from the same finalized prose:
article.md— static markdown with inline SVG figures, no<script>(matches thestory/draft.mdconvention)index.html— scroll-driven animated version, via sharedexplainers/scroller.js/scroller.css
explainers/index.htmllists both formats per part.- Mobile portrait layout for piece 1's five-station diagram (pieces 2–3 still pending).
explainers/NEXT.md— checkpoint with open questions and a prioritized follow-up list. Tracked in issue #6.
Known gaps: pieces 2–3 need the same mobile pass as piece 1; piece 3's HTML page
renders empty with JavaScript disabled; the scroller uses an ad hoc palette rather than
the real Organic design tokens; story/'s fate is undecided.
