It picks one of 20 researched art directions, pulls credited public domain and Creative Commons pictures from Wikimedia Commons, Openverse and the Met, then checks the page in Chrome at three widths and fixes it for up to three rounds. A build takes 30 to 45 minutes and a few hundred thousand tokens. Needs Node 22+ and a coding agent; no API keys. MIT. Free add-on; it does not replace a paid product.","capabilities":["agent-skills"],"tags":["Agent skills","Claude Code","Codex","Plugins","Frontend design","Needs paid AI plan"],"alternatives":[],"facts":{"runs_locally":{"status":"yes","value":"Yes, the skill and its scripts run on your machine inside your coding agent; it only goes online to find pictures","source_url":"https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill#common-questions","checked_at":"2026-10-29","confidence":"high","validation":"documentation_review","modes":["local"],"untrusted_source_quote":"It needs the internet only to find pictures."},"code_license":{"status":"yes","value":"MIT","source_url":"https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill/blob/main/LICENSE","checked_at":"2026-10-29","confidence":"high","validation":"documentation_review","spdx":"MIT","untrusted_source_quote":"MIT License"},"model_license":{"status":"yes","value":"No model weights of its own; it runs on whichever model your coding agent uses","source_url":"https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill#install","checked_at":"2026-10-29","confidence":"high","validation":"documentation_review","spdx":null,"applies":false,"untrusted_source_quote":"It installs nothing and needs no API keys."},"commercial_use":{"status":"yes","value":"Yes, MIT allows commercial use; pictures it finds are public domain, CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA and keep their credit lines","source_url":"https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill/blob/main/LICENSE","checked_at":"2026-10-29","confidence":"high","validation":"documentation_review","untrusted_source_quote":"Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy"},"paid_services":{"status":"partial","value":"The skill itself needs no API keys, but it runs inside an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex etc.), usually a paid plan; a build uses a few hundred thousand tokens","source_url":"https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill#how-v2-works","checked_at":"2026-10-29","confidence":"high","validation":"documentation_review","required":["AI coding agent (Claude Code","Codex etc.)"],"optional":[],"untrusted_source_quote":"A build takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes and a few hundred thousand tokens."},"hardware":{"status":"partial","value":"No CPU or RAM figures; needs Node 22 or newer and an installed Chrome, Edge or Chromium","source_url":"https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill#common-questions","checked_at":"2026-10-29","confidence":"high","validation":"documentation_review","cpu_ok":true,"min_vram_gb":null,"min_ram_gb":null,"untrusted_source_quote":"Node 22 or newer and Chrome, Edge or Chromium."},"platforms":{"status":"unknown","value":"Not documented","confidence":"low","validation":"documentation_review","windows":"unknown","macos":"unknown","linux":"unknown"},"setup":{"status":"yes","value":"Easy, one npx skills command, or the Claude Code or Codex plugin marketplace","source_url":"https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill#install","checked_at":"2026-10-29","confidence":"high","validation":"documentation_review","level":"easy","untrusted_source_quote":"npx skills add https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill --skill \"design-taste-frontend\""}},"metrics":{"stars":108751,"forks":7321,"contributors":24,"archived":false,"last_push_at":"2026-10-31T07:59:58Z","latest_release":{"tag":"v2.1.5","published_at":"2026-10-24T23:44:17Z"},"fetched_at":"2026-11-03T01:20:55.050Z"},"url":"https://repoquarry.dev/projects/taste-skill","note":"Installation guidance: follow docs_url.
