chore(branding): add social preview image (1280x640, Mnemonic Cartography)#41
Merged
Conversation
…aphy)
Adds a GitHub social-preview image rendered in a custom design
philosophy ("Mnemonic Cartography") — a horizontal survey transect
of the four-stage pattern lifecycle (observe / track / promote /
suggest), monumental "instinct" wordmark, single amber accent
reserved for the final stage.
Files:
- .github/social-preview.png — final 1280x640 PNG, ~36 KB
- .github/design-philosophy.md — the aesthetic manifesto behind it
- .github/_render_social_preview.py — reproducible render script (PIL)
Manual follow-up (cannot be done via REST API):
GitHub Settings → General → Social preview → Upload an image
→ pick `.github/social-preview.png`. Once uploaded, link unfurls
on Twitter / LinkedIn / Slack / Discord show the image.
