tell-proof: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/tell-taste-verdicts/SKILL.md

tell-taste-verdicts is a skill for Cursor from ashishpatill/tell-proof. It costs 53 tokens per session (510 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Tell implementation guide for judging whether a user interface looks generic, has drifted from its intended style, or appears deliberate, then turning plain-language direction into design instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Tell's taste judgments, design presets, voice direction parser, or related API code.
Why use it?
It keeps visual judgments tied to detected facts and makes the system behave consistently even when an AI service is unavailable.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Fable 5.1 $0.00053 $0.00510
Opus 5 $0.00026 $0.00255
Sonnet 5 $0.00011 $0.00102

Security

Grade A, and why

tell-taste-verdicts scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Tell taste and voice direction

Scope

  • packages/taste/src/engine.ts — Gemini + deterministic fallback
  • packages/taste/src/parse-direction.ts — voice/text direction parsing
  • packages/taste/src/presets.ts — editorial, precision, warm-minimal, bold-contrast, luxury, brutalist, explainer
  • apps/web/src/app/api/voice/route.ts — browser voice refinement endpoint

Verdict contract

  • Verdicts: generic, drift, intentional, uncertain
  • Rationale ≤ 3 sentences, critic voice, no apology, no emoji
  • Detector facts are authoritative; reject rationales that contradict them
  • Reflection loop: draft → validate against facts → refine once → mechanical fallback at confidence 0.5

Voice / art-direction

  1. Deterministic parser runs first (parseDirectionPlan) so demo works without keys
  2. Gemini refines when GEMINI_API_KEY is present
  3. Presets: editorial, precision, warm-minimal, bold-contrast, luxury, brutalist, explainer
  4. Output: ArtDirection with keywords, token overrides, summary
  5. When adding or steering styles, follow docs/08_AI_DESIGN_METHODS.md (methods + style playbook). Never put third-party author/site names in keywords or docs.

Path differences

  • MCP tell_diagnose calls classifyWithTaste when key exists
  • Web /api/diagnose subprocess may return deterministic verdicts only
  • Do not assume Gemini runs on every diagnose path

Testing

  • Mock fetch/model responses; never hit live Gemini in tests
  • Assert zod validation and fallback when model JSON is invalid or contradictory

DoD

  • Every finding gets a valid TasteVerdict
  • Brutalist/intentional fixture case can return intentional
  • Offline demo works with zero API keys
  • Rules: .cursor/rules/tell-taste-engine.mdc
  • Agent: .cursor/agents/taste-engineer.md
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
