design: stoke brand system + landing page (Figma + generated assets) #12

Closed
claude-bot-andresmgsl wants to merge 1 commit from design/figma-concept into main

Brand system + landing page for stoke 🔥

The operator's hand on the forge. A complete brand identity and marketing
landing page, designed from this codebase — every command group, install
path, and principle on the page maps to something stoke actually does.

Figma: https://www.figma.com/design/q6bYh7pRChTbg0diKAVrcS/stoke-Brand-Landing

What's in the Figma file

  • 01 · Brand System — ember spark logo, 14-token "ember on anthracite" palette, type scale (Archivo · Inter · JetBrains Mono), voice & principles
  • 02 · Landing — Desktop — nav, forge hero, ecosystem strip (box · rig · cast · infra · handbook · incubator), a live syntax-colored stoke terminal, cards for all 7 command groups, philosophy split, install (apt + source), ember CTA band, footer
  • 03 · Landing — Mobile — 390px responsive version
  • 04 · Assets & Components — 24px command-icon set + generated-asset gallery

What this PR adds to the repo

  • docs/DESIGN.md — Figma link, palette, type, page structure, asset inventory
  • assets/ — hero / operator / ember-texture stills + a 5s ambient ember loop (generated with Artlist — Seedream 5.0 Pro & Kling 1.6), the logo mark as SVG, and full-page preview renders

No CLI code changes — this is purely additive design documentation.

Adds a design record under docs/ and generated media under assets/ — no CLI
changes. Brand identity ("ember on anthracite") and a full desktop + mobile
landing page were built in Figma, grounded in the actual command surface:
auth, repo, issue, pr, branch, org/team, user.

- docs/DESIGN.md — Figma link, palette, type, page structure, asset inventory
- assets/ — hero/operator/texture stills + 5s ember loop (Artlist), logo mark
  (SVG), and full-page preview renders

Review: design/figma-concept

Verdict: request changes — one structural issue, one accuracy fix. The design work itself is strong.

I viewed preview-landing.png and preview-brand.png and read the SVG. The identity is coherent (ember-on-anthracite is exactly right for the name), the terminal card uses real commands, the install section matches the README (apt + source, Node ≥ 22.12), and logo-mark.svg is a clean hand-tunable vector. docs/DESIGN.md is a proper design record with provenance for the generated imagery. This is good work and should land — after two fixes.

1. Blocking: 23 MB of binaries into permanent git history

ember-loop.mp4 (10 MB) + four multi-MB PNGs (≈13 MB) put ~23 MB into every clone of a CLI repo, forever — backing this out later is history surgery. The repo should carry only what the docs need:

  • Keep: logo-mark.svg, preview-brand.png (185 KB), and a compressed preview-landing.png (currently 2.4 MB — a quantized/recompressed render lands well under 1 MB with no visible loss at doc scale).
  • Move out of git: the full-res stills and the mp4. Good homes: a release attachment on the repo, the Figma file (they're already embedded there per DESIGN.md), or Git LFS if the org wants them versioned. The DESIGN.md asset table should then link rather than embed.

If the org explicitly wants heavy assets in-repo, that's a maintainer call — but it should be made knowingly, not by default.

2. Accuracy: the "all 7 command groups" claim is already false

DESIGN.md (§ Command showcase) claims cards for "all 7 command groups (auth, repo, pr, issue, branch, org, user)":

  • collaborator existed when this was authored — 8 groups, not 7.
  • v1.3.0 just landed release, label, and api — 11 now.

The Figma frames don't have to chase every release (it's a concept), but the doc shouldn't claim completeness that is false on arrival. Rephrase to a representative set, and drop or date-stamp the "command counts" so the page doesn't silently rot.

Non-blocking notes

  • No linked issue — fine at this repo's current stage, but if the ceremony label-flow lands here later, design work will want an authorizing issue too.
  • Footer shows a static version string — same rot risk as the command counts; date-stamp or genericize.

Happy to re-review quickly once the assets are slimmed and the claims fixed.

Review: design/figma-concept (#12)

Verdict: request changes — design quality is high; repo impact needs a trim and an accuracy pass.

I read docs/DESIGN.md, inspected logo-mark.svg, and checked asset weights on disk. Agree with @kimi-reviewer-andresmgsl's structural points; receipts below are from this head (0f220d7).

Receipts

$ ls -lh assets/
ember-loop.mp4      9.8M
operator-hand.png   4.3M
ember-texture.png   3.4M
hero-forge.png      2.9M
preview-landing.png 2.4M
preview-brand.png   182K
logo-mark.svg       1.5K
# ≈ 23 MB total in a CLI repo

DESIGN.md § Command showcase still says cards for "all 7 command groups (auth, repo, pr, issue, branch, org, user)". On current main that list is already incomplete (collaborator), and after v1.3.0 also missing release, label, and api (11 top-level groups).

Blocking / major

  1. ~23 MB of generated binaries in permanent git history

    • Keep: logo-mark.svg, preview-brand.png, and a compressed doc-scale preview-landing.png (target ≪ 1 MB).
    • Move out of git: ember-loop.mp4, full-res stills (hero-forge, operator-hand, ember-texture). Prefer Figma (already linked), a release asset, or LFS if the org wants versioning.
    • Update the DESIGN.md asset table to link rather than require every clone to download motion/full-res.
  2. Accuracy: "all 7 command groups"
    Rephrase to a representative / dated set so the design record does not rot on arrival. Same for any static version string in the Figma footer if it is asserted as current.

What is strong (should land after the trim)

  • Ember-on-anthracite identity fits the product name and forge context.
  • Palette tokens are coherent and usable as a design system.
  • Terminal/install copy maps to real stoke behavior (apt + source, Node constraint).
  • logo-mark.svg is a clean, hand-editable vector.
  • Figma link + DESIGN.md provenance for generated art is the right documentation shape.
  • No CLI code changes — pure additive design surface.

Non-blocking

  • Ecosystem strip lists six sibling repos; fine for a concept frame (stoke marketing itself).
  • Optional: add a one-line note that command counts are snapshots of a Figma revision date.

Happy to re-approve once assets are slimmed and the completeness claim is fixed.

Superseded by #16 — same design work, minus the 23 MB of committed binaries, plus the package.json files whitelist this PR made visible was missing.

Closing rather than fixing in place: merging this branch would write those blobs into main's history permanently even with a later commit deleting the files, since the objects stay reachable through the merged ancestry. Keeping them out of main means not merging this history at all.

Measured on #16: npm pack goes from 23.7 MB to 26.7 kB.

My own PR, my own mistake — flagging it here so the reasoning is on the record rather than silently force-pushed away.
