I can't edit the skill editor directly, but here's a drop-in amendment to paste into the skill — I'd put it in the \u003cstrong class=\"font-semibold text-color-title\"\u003eProportion \u0026amp; border contracts\u003c\/strong\u003e section and cross-reference it in \u003cstrong class=\"font-semibold text-color-title\"\u003eHard rules\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cpre\u003e\u003ccode class=\"rounded bg-area-platform px-1.5 py-0.5 font-mono text-[12px] text-color-title\"\u003e### Slub-size anchoring (hard rule — overrides margin-relative sizing)\n\nThe size of every stitch slub is determined ONLY by the stitched field's\nstated stitch count — NEVER by the slub's size relative to the margins,\nthe canvas, or the photo frame. Margin-relative sizing always inflates\nthe count and is an automatic REJECT.\n\n- State the field geometry as an absolute count in every prompt:\n  4\"x6\" field = 52 x 78 = 4,056 slubs (4x13=52, 6x13=78).\n  4\"x4\" field = 52 x 52 = 2,704 slubs.\n- Prompt language (verbatim): \"The stitched field contains EXACTLY 4,056\n  plump slubs — 52 across, 78 down — packed edge-to-edge inside the 4x6\n  field. Each slub spans exactly one 13-mesh cell. Slub size is fixed by\n  this count alone; do not scale slubs relative to the margins or photo.\"\n- The bare-mesh margin holes and the stitched slubs are the SAME 13-count\n  gauge: one slub = one mesh hole, visibly equal in width.\n- Verification: count slubs across one row of the stitched field.
