Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Measure a set of reference videos into a reusable style pack - colour grade as a 3D LUT, cut rhythm as a shot-length distribution, hero stills, screen-blend overlay plates, and a text spec for a generative model. Use when the user wants to capture the look of reference footage, build a repeatable look, mint assets from references, or reproduce someone's grade and pacing.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'taste-distillation' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'taste-distillation' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named taste-distillation already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd2ef2680594f9a17526a6e1a2e18b3d242c5d17b' -- 'skills/taste-distillation' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/taste-distillation' ~/.agents/skills/'taste-distillation' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'taste-distillation' ~/.claude/skills/'taste-distillation' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
