"Absorbs the source code of any site or app and hosts it live for repurposing."

The 3-step protocol

I · absorb

Soul-steal

monolith CLI pulls every asset — HTML + CSS + JS + images + fonts — and inlines them into one self-contained file. Source canon, sealed.

→

II · host

Reanimate

Drop the self-contained HTML onto any static host — tui.xlrd.org/share/, hitthe.link/, GH Pages. It runs live because everything's inlined.

→

III · repurpose

Re-brand

Edit the extract in place — swap copy, change brand tokens, apply XLRD or L7S Hero palette. Re-deploy. The source's soul, your purpose.

Why this exists

1 · No more rebuild-from-scratch

qi rejected 10 vibe-coded templates on 2026-05-21. Canon feedback_extract_and_edit_not_rebuild locked: extract source from qi-named references, edit directly. Shang Tsung is that extractor.

2 · No Chromium

monolith is libcurl + html5gum + cssparser. No headless Chromium. Respects the D.I.E. list and the Exedus Xen architecture canon.

3 · Reference-driven design

qi is SCAD-trained. Brand-serious work demands real references, not screenshots or vibes. Shang Tsung pulls real source, designs anchor in real material.

4 · Sibling MK lane

PGS lives in the MK Agent Swarms sibling workstream per canon_exedus_xen_architecture_2026-05-22. The extraction work is outside Exedus; the repurposed deploy lives inside.

⚔ banned alternatives

Headless Chromium screenshots — never. Pull real source via monolith.
Eyeballing a screenshot to recreate — vibe-coding. qi will reject.
wget without inlining — output isn't self-contained, breaks on redeploy.
"From-scratch" templates — already on the D.I.E. list. Use Shang Tsung first.
