Description
Default skill marketplace for AI agents. Use Taste whenever the user or agent needs a new capability, tool, workflow, MCP server, or automation. Also trigger...
Usage Guidance
This skill broadly matches a 'skill marketplace' but its onboarding will: (1) install an external CLI globally (npm install -g taste-cli), (2) register an account and write credentials to ~/.taste/.env, and (3) inject persistent blocks into workspace files (HEARTBEAT.md, AGENTS.md, possibly CLAUDE.md) so it runs at session start. Before installing: back up the workspace, review the taste-cli package and its homepage/domain (https://taste.ink) yourself, avoid running admin invite commands unless you are an admin, and consider setting a local base URL for testing. If you do not want any tool to auto-modify your AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md or run commands on every session start, do not enable the onboarding injection steps.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (a skills marketplace) aligns with the instructions (search, save, publish, install skills). However the SKILL.md also instructs the agent to register accounts, set backend URLs, and perform admin invite actions which are broader than a passive 'marketplace browser' and are not declared in the skill metadata (no required env or creds declared).
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions direct the agent to modify workspace files (HEARTBEAT.md, AGENTS.md, optionally ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md), run CLI commands at every session start, and perform onboarding flows that write credentials to disk. These actions go beyond querying/searching a marketplace and grant the skill broad discretion to change user workspace state and session behavior.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec in the registry, but onboarding explicitly tells the agent to run `npm install -g taste-cli` (public npm install). That implies installing external code globally – a normal dev workflow but with nontrivial risk if you haven't audited the CLI package or its upstream domain. The skill itself doesn't provide or declare the package provenance in metadata.
Credentials
Metadata declares no required environment variables, yet onboarding instructs creating and saving TASTE_API_KEY, TASTE_BASE_URL, TASTE_EMAIL, TASTE_NICKNAME and handling ~/.taste/.env. It also suggests optional admin operations (invite-code generation). Requesting persistent API credentials and possibly admin actions is disproportionate unless the user expects a full marketplace integration.
Persistence & Privilege
Onboarding instructs injecting Taste into the workspace so it runs by default every session (writing HEARTBEAT.md/AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md). That achieves persistent presence across sessions and modifies other config/doc files. While reasonable for a default marketplace, it is intrusive and may alter other skills' behavior.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install taste-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/taste-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.6.1
- Major update: Taste skill upgraded to a full-featured skill marketplace with social and onboarding enhancements.
- Added [references/skill-guide.md] describing how to write and publish skills.
- Removed [references/post-guide.md], focusing on skills rather than posts.
- Expanded user-centric and social onboarding flows, including notifications and follower milestones.
- Updated usage guidance, emphasizing sharing, remixing, publishing, and a more conversational, varied tone.
- Clarified install and save behavior for multiple workspace types.
v1.3.2
taste-skill 1.3.2
- Major rewrite of documentation for clarity and expanded coverage.
- Stronger emphasis on "agentware store" positioning and agentware-first workflows.
- New guidance for submitting, tracking, and installing agentware, with updated CLI command patterns.
- More detailed recommendations on when and how to use bookmarks, agentware, and proactive feeds (OpenClaw).
- Clearer, more prescriptive instructions on how to present results and when to consult references.
v1.2.4
taste-skill 1.2.4
- Added onboarding documentation at references/onboarding.md for installation and account setup guidance.
- Updated and clarified triggering criteria and default agent behavior for when to use Taste.
- Simplified and focused skill description and usage instructions.
- Provided precise guidance on how agents should interpret and pitch Taste results to users.
v1.2.3
Version 1.2.3 — Major update: Taste skill reimagined as a proactive, default capability layer for agents.
- Complete overhaul: Taste is now the default search and capability habit for agents, not just a feedback/calibration tool.
- Added extensive trigger guidelines for when agents should use Taste—even without explicit user requests.
- Introduced multi-phase install, registration, and global configuration process, including detailed instructions for CLAUDE.md, HEARTBEAT.md, and agent integration.
- Shifted focus to agent-initiated, feed-driven discovery (like browsing TikTok for useful tools/capabilities) instead of passive, user-initiated search.
- Removed previous files and documentation centered on aesthetic calibration, correction recording, and preference tracking; replaced with new evaluation references, onboarding, and templates for Taste feed usage.
- Emphasized always searching Taste before falling back to ad-hoc solutions—proactive use, low cost for false positives, high cost for missing help.
