nw-taste-evaluation SKILL.md skillA
nw-taste-evaluation from nwave-ai/nwave is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Design taste evaluation framework — DVF primary filter, Apple/Google/Jobs design principles as explicit scoring criteria, weighted decision matrix, and option ranking for the DIVERGE wave.
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
# Taste Evaluation ## The Taste Problem Design taste cannot remain tacit. In the age of AI-assisted product development, taste must be encoded as explicit evaluation criteria — operable, auditable, reproducible. Gut feel is the source from which taste criteria are derived; the weighted matrix is the mechanism that makes taste operational. **Key insight**: Taste is a fourth lens applied *after* DVF, not instead of it. An option can be Desirable, Feasible, and Viable — and still fail taste by adding three new concepts to the user's mental model when zero would suffice. --- ## Phase 1: DVF Filter — Primary Triage Apply IDEO's three-lens filter first. Any option failing two or more lenses is eliminated before taste scoring. | Lens | Question | Score 1-5 | |------|----------|-----------| | **Desirability** | Do users want this? Does it address the validated job? | 1 = no evidence of want, 5 = clear expressed need | | **Feasibility** | Can we build it with available skills/tools/time? | 1 = requires unavailable technology, 5 = straightforward to build | | **Viability** | Does it support a sustainable business model? | 1 = no path to revenue/retention, 5 = clear value capture | …

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-taste-evaluation@sha256:c8bdfd3ee5a50369The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260406.b65a761, 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.
