kai-taste SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
kai-taste from cgallic/kai-cmo-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Audit or design generative AI interfaces against three diagnostic pillars (deterministic-stochastic balance, interaction density, visual cohesion). Treats taste as a measurable control system, not subjective preference. Use when: 'taste audit', 'score this UI', 'design quality', 'interaction density', 'visual cohesion', 'refiner layer', 'correction cost', 'why does this feel off', 'polish this', 'design review', or building any user-facing AI product.
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
# /kai-taste — a scored diagnosis of why an AI product feels off, and what to change ## Objective Taste treated as a control system: the thing that converts stochastic model output into reliable user outcomes at minimal correction cost. Two modes share one destination — a defensible position in the three-pillar space with evidence behind every claim. **Audit mode** produces a scored diagnosis of an existing UI, product, or generated output: a number per pillar, a present/absent call on all eight failure modes with the observation that supports it, whichever north-star metrics are computable, and a prioritized fix list. **Design mode** produces a taste contract for something being built: which zones are deterministic, which are stochastic, what must never happen, and the instrumentation that will show whether the design landed. **Iron law:** taste stays subordinate to function. The moment the system's correction vector dominates the user's intent vector, the product crosses from high-fidelity to high-friction. ## Done when …

How to install
mdr add cgallic/kai-cmo-harness/kai-taste@sha256:49cc55af92a3b706The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.03f3aae, 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.
