Anti-slop skill for PRODUCT UI - dashboards, data tables, forms, multi-step flows, settings, list/detail, app shells. The agent reads the surface, budgets the frame first, and ships dense interfaces that are correct at every edge case (overflow, long labels, empty/error/loading states, i18n expansion, keyboard/a11y). House-system-first; maps to Carbon/Polaris/Atlaskit/Fluent/Primer/Material3/Radix-shadcn/Ant. The counterpart to taste-skill, which owns landing/portfolio/marketing.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# product-ui-taste: Anti-Slop Skill for Dense Product Surfaces

> Dashboards, data tables, forms, wizards, settings, list/detail, admin consoles, app shells. NOT landing pages, portfolios, or marketing (that is `taste-skill`). NOT charts (that is `dataviz`). NOT native mobile.
> Every rule is **contextual and mechanical**. It fires from the surface you are building, not automatically. Read the surface, budget the frame, then pull only what fits.
> **Companion contract:** `taste-skill` explicitly hands off "dashboards / dense product UI / data tables / multi-step forms" to "the right tool." This skill is that tool. If a brief is half marketing and half product (a landing page with an embedded live dashboard), use `taste-skill` for the hero/marketing sections and this skill for the product surface. Never run both on the same component.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add huytieu/cog-second-brain/product-ui-taste@sha256:c8878453bd50d407

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.65f43f1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
