Hollow Knight Theme Scaffold
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Alternate markata-go shell with 9-slice panels, textured surfaces, and palette-driven chrome.

Date: May 12, 2026

This is the opt-in scaffold for a Hollow Knight-inspired markata-go shell.

What this sets up
─────────────────

- A separate

  hollow_base.html

  shell so the live site does not have to switch yet.
- hollow-post.html

  and

  hollow-feed.html

  templates that can be mapped in later.
- A 9-slice panel system using

  border-image

  , so the chrome art can be swapped without changing markup.
- Texture and glow layers that read from the current markata-go palette variables.

What still wants better art
───────────────────────────

The included SVG assets are scaffolding. They prove the structure and keep the theme buildable, but they are not the final filigree-heavy artwork.

Use docs/hollow-knight-asset-prompts.md for replacement prompts.

How to use it later
───────────────────

Map templateKey: hollow-post or templateKey: hollow-feed onto test pages, or rename the files to replace the active shell once the art direction is locked.

[code]
  [markata-go.theme]
  palette = "everforest-dark"

Change the palette and the shell keeps the same grit, but the metal, glow, and surface tint shift with it.
