Pull request 465 introduces a frontend polish skill that helps developers refine UI elements while preserving business logic. This skill targets visual hierarchy, responsive behavior, and interaction states…

More innovative is the shadow tutor skill from pull request 466, which creates a post-session learning experience. After an AI coding session, it analyzes the decisions made, explains rejected alternatives, and runs forced recall exercises using the project's actual tests. The skill runs locally without requiring…

Both skills share a common thread - they're designed to educate rather than just execute. The frontend polish skill teaches visual design principles through code improvements, while the shadow tutor reinforces programming concepts through evidence-based review and testing.
