Curated by Skill Harbor: turn reference videos into a reusable, deterministic style pack. The core finding, measured on real footage: prompting cannot deliver a grade, measurement can. The skill ships working Python scripts that mint one pack per genre: chroma measured by luminance zone (median plus MAD, never mean plus std), contrast as the standard deviation of L*, background-share statistics, adaptive shot-boundary detection for the cut-rhythm distribution, a baked 33^3 .cube LUT that drops straight into DaVinci Resolve, hero stills, screen-blend overlay plates lifted onto black, minted 3D props, and a VLM-written spec grounded in the measurements. mint.py runs fully offline with no API key; only the fal-backed stages need credentials plus an explicit allow-live flag, and --dry-run stubs every network call. By @affaan-m, listed here with credit to its creator. From the affaan-m/ECC repository (MIT). Honest caveats: you need Python and reference footage you have the rights to analyze; keep each genre in its own pack. Pair with taste-application to generate against the pack. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Copy the install package below, then paste it into MuseCommunity-built. Skill Harbor doesn't audit code — review the source before installing.
Use "Taste Distillation" with your Muse. Prerequisites: the Muse app (mobile or web), Python 3, and reference videos you have the right to analyze. No API key needed for measuring (mint.py runs fully offline); a fal.ai key is only needed for the live generation stages, which stay stubbed under --dry-run. 1. Open the skill: https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC/blob/main/skills/taste-distillation/SKILL.md and copy the full SKILL.md text. 2. Paste it into a chat with Muse and add: "Distill these references into a style pack named [genre]: [reference files]. Start with --dry-run so I can inspect the plan." 3. Review the measured grade.json and cadence.json before minting the LUT, and keep one pack per genre. Tip: mask interface chrome (letterbox bars, like buttons, captions) before measuring, or the statistics will treat the UI as part of the look. Safety: a skill is plain-text instructions; only run its scripts after reviewing them. Never paste secrets or API keys into the chat, and review anything Muse proposes before it acts.

Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
