tasteSenior UI/UX Engineer. An agent skill from EliasOulkadi/shokunin.
Taste is an agent skill from EliasOulkadi/shokunin. Senior UI/UX Engineer. Architect digital interfaces overriding default LLM biases. Enforces metric-based rules, strict component architecture, hardware-accelerated CSS, and balanced design engineering. By Leon Lin & blueemi. Multi-runtime improved by shokunin.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: opencode
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design. It works with npm, Tailwind CSS and React. The repository describes itself as: 職人 Shokunin 62 AI agent skills for OpenCode, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf. ChromaDB memory, MCP servers, declarative self-updates. Multi-model, open source, zero cost. The licence is MIT.
9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c68e5b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npmFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
opencode
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Taste loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,525 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Reference library of advanced UI concepts. Never default to generic. Use Framer Motion for Bento/UI interactions. Use GSAP/ThreeJS exclusively for isolated full-page scrolltelling or canvas backgrounds, wrapped in strict useEffect cleanup.

| Grain causes scroll jank | Grain on scrolling container | Move to position: fixed; pointer-events: none |
| Touch hover state fires incorrectly | No @media (hover: hover) guard | Gate hover behind pointer media query |
| Magnetic button causes layout shift | Using useState for animation | Use useMotionValue + useTransform |
| Perpetual animation causes re-renders | Not in isolated Client Component | React.memo + isolated leaf component |

Senior UI/UX Engineer. An agent skill from EliasOulkadi/shokunin. Taste is an agent skill from EliasOulkadi/shokunin. Senior UI/UX Engineer.
Taste fits situations like: tasks that involve UI design.
Run `npx skills add EliasOulkadi/shokunin --skill taste -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.pack/skills/taste in EliasOulkadi/shokunin) into .claude/skills/taste in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add EliasOulkadi/shokunin --skill taste -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.pack/skills/taste in EliasOulkadi/shokunin) into .agents/skills/taste in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add EliasOulkadi/shokunin --skill taste -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/taste, .gemini/skills/taste, .github/skills/taste and .opencode/skills/taste in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Taste needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npm). Our summary lists: Node.js. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): opencode.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Taste is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 3.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 14k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Taste: Creative Tim UI Blocks (creativetimofficial/ui, 12k stars), Ss Learn (bitjaru/styleseed, 973 stars), UI/UX Design System Advisor (Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar, 5.7k stars) and Senior Frontend (Ohh-889/skyroc, 795 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
