HK-hubSkillquieter
Tones down visually aggressive or overstimulating designs, reducing intensity while preserving quality. Use when the user mentions too bold, too loud, overwhelming, aggressive, garish, or wants a calmer, more refined aesthetic.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 77 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 77 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Clarify — Close the Holes
A post-spec review that finds and closes gaps before the North Star. Gate: the specify phase must be accepted (else "Accept the spec first").
Inputs
.genesis/project-state.md(mode).genesis/features/<feature>/spec.md(required),design.md(required)brainstorm-log.md(optional), the constitutionapprovals/master.json(verify specify accepted)dependencies.jsonfor this feature and its peers (cross-feature coverage check)
Process
- Resolve markers. Scan the spec for
NEEDS_CLARIFICATIONmarkers; resolve each one at a time (question → impact → suggested answer), updating the spec and removing the marker. (--markers-onlystops here.) - Coverage scan across 11 categories, rating each Clear / Partial / Missing: Functional Scope · Domain/Data Model · Interaction/UX · Non-Functional Quality · Integration/Dependencies · Edge Cases · Constraints/Tradeoffs · Terminology · Completion Signals · Assumptions · Cross-Feature Dependencies. (
--scan-onlyreports and stops.) - Ask at most 5 targeted questions per run, prioritized by impact, focused on Partial/Missing categories, each with a recommended answer.
- Apply answers one at a time — update the spec immediately after each (refine requirements, add edge cases to FRs, document assumptions, strengthen/add ACs, remove resolved open questions).
- (
--simulate) Run 5–10 usage scenarios against the spec text — for each, trace FRs/ACs and mark PASS (spec handles it) or GAP (it doesn't). Gaps become new questions or amendments. - Re-run constitution compliance if scope changed (halt on violations).
- Present a before/after coverage summary table (+ simulation table if used). Commit; update
project-state.md.
Mode differences
Each category is mode-aware: greenfield checks completeness of new capability; brownfield checks new-vs-modified classification, preservation of existing behavior, and scope-boundary explicitness; lowfield checks pipeline-stage and artifact-schema completeness and measurable per-stage gates. Simulation likewise differs — greenfield = standard usage; brownfield = migration paths and backward compatibility; lowfield = pipeline at scale (50+ units), mid-stream entry, stage skipping.
Output
- Updated
.genesis/features/<feature>/spec.md(resolved markers, tightened FRs/ACs, documented assumptions) and a coverage summary in the skill output.
