The hero showed generic paper cards, which read as "files" and hid the actual pitch. Breadth is the product: the same habit applied to browsers, downloads, desktops, and notes. The stage now rotates through four scenes, one per skill, each drawn in its own vocabulary. Bookmarks show the same page saved twice and a dead link collapsing into topic folders. Downloads show byte-identical PDFs and a stale installer sorting by kind. Desktop shows screenshots and a six gigabyte leftover filed by age. Notes show stubs and orphans gathering under real tags. Tabs double as manual control and as a plain statement of what is covered. Rotation stops on hover, on focus, and when the tab is hidden, so it never advances out from under someone reading it. Fixes a class-name collision found while testing: the rotator's rows reused .row, which the coverage table already defines as a grid, so the folder counts were laid out wrong. They are .frow now.
The scenes were furnished from a developer's machine: Python docs, css-tricks, invoice.pdf, export-2025.zip, a meeting note tagged #q3. Nobody outside this trade recognises their own mess in that, and the people with three thousand bookmarks are mostly not developers. Replaced throughout. A banana bread recipe saved twice from two URLs for the same page, flights to Lisbon, a dead link to a coat sale, a duplicated boarding pass, a printer driver nobody has opened since installing it, a six gigabyte birthday video on the desktop, and two competing grocery lists. They sort into Recipes, Travel, Photos, and #home.
A solid accent fill made the GitHub link read as the page's primary action, competing with Install. It is a destination, not the thing we want people to do first, so it now carries the same glass treatment as the rest of the navigation, plus the GitHub mark for recognition.
sorting-downloads and clearing-desktop were the same skill with a different folder hardcoded into each. That is what made the set feel arbitrary, and it left no answer to the obvious question: why can it tidy the Desktop but not the folder I actually care about. They are now organizing-folders, which takes any path. Downloads and the Desktop are just the common cases. The location-specific judgment is kept, not lost, as a section on what "organized" means in each place: Downloads is finished business full of installers and browser-numbered duplicates, the Desktop is live work that must not be touched inside a week, Documents wants grouping by project rather than by file type, and anything inside a cloud drive has to be checked for placeholder files first. organizing-obsidian-vault is now organizing-notes for the same reason. It always worked on any folder of markdown; the name advertised one app and under-sold it. Three skills, one per category, each covering its whole domain.
