This week's work was on the skills store at skills.uristocrat.com. For context on how and why the work runs this way, see two pieces on Edwin's personal site: It's never been easier to ship product and How I build products in spring 2026.
Here is what shipped.
Learn Quiz
Goal: add a skill that makes sure you actually understand the work Claude did before the session ends, instead of rubber-stamping a diff you never read.
Shipped: a new "Learn Quiz" skill in the coding category. It turns Claude into a teacher. It keeps a running checklist (the problem and why it existed, the solution and its design decisions and edge cases, the broader impact), has you restate your understanding first, drops to ELI5 / ELI14 / intern level, and quizzes you with shuffled open-ended and multiple-choice questions with answers hidden until you submit. It does not end until you can demonstrate you understood the work.
The skill exists as a new catalog card on the homepage and a detail page at /skills/learn-quiz/. This is a third-party skill, authored by Thariq Shihipar and adapted from his public gist, and the first one published through the SHA-pinned provenance path: the SKILL.md lives in the public uristocrat/skills repo pinned to a full commit SHA.
Tools: Astro, GitHub.
Office Tells
Goal: strip the tells that give away AI-generated Office files.
Shipped: a new "Office Tells" skill in the productivity category. It is a quality gate that overlays the pptx, docx, and xlsx skills and removes the visual, structural, and metadata tells from every Office file Claude generates (pipe separators, em dashes, accent lines under slide titles, default beige / blue / grey colors, zebra table banding, excessive conditional formatting, Sheet1 names, library-default file metadata, hardcoded Excel totals, boilerplate section names), with a mandatory render-and-inspect step at the end. The skill exists as a new catalog card on the homepage and a detail page at /skills/office-tells/. SKILL.md is hosted in the public uristocrat/skills repo.
Tools: Astro, GitHub.
Agency Automation Blueprint
Goal: give agencies and service businesses a way to find where work is leaking and what to automate first.
Shipped: a new "Agency Automation Blueprint" skill in the productivity category. It runs a guided discovery, maps where work leaks across Gmail, Slack, Monday.com, meetings, and docs, ranks which automations are worth building, and returns a blueprint plus a starter prompt and SOP. The handoff is email-only to contact@uristocrat.com, which doubles as lead capture.
Tools: Astro.
