Context you provide
- {{base_skin}} – e.g., "Poster skin with custom Hero, card grid, AOS animations, dark sidebar"

- {{color_system}} – e.g., "accent primary #667eea, secondary #764ba2, warm #ffe066"

- {{enhancement_priority}} – e.g., "A-Tier items 1-4: scroll progress bar, back-to-top button, sidebar profile, category badges"

- Provide complete CSS additions, HTML modifications, and inline JS for each enhancement in priority order.
- Ensure all code is production-ready and compatible with existing AOS and parallax animations.
- Use the provided color system and preserve existing functionality.
Output format For each enhancement, provide a section with: enhancement name, CSS block, HTML snippet (if needed), and JS snippet. Use markdown code blocks.
Guardrails
- Only use vanilla JS and CSS; no external libraries.
