Make Windows Silky

Make Windows Silky

This skill improves Windows workbench smoothness through evidence, gates, and reusable assets. Its product promise is simple: make Windows silky = save your tokens.

It does not tune the registry, power plan, Defender, or shell extensions by default. Those are separate high-risk system patches that require explicit user intent and rollback steps.

Trigger

Use this skill when the request mentions:

• Windows smoother, silky, less laggy, less cluttered, less chaotic;
• EXE/MSI/MSIX/ZIP release artifacts;
• WebView2 leftovers;
• duplicated versioned builds;
• README/release proof/checksum gaps;
• Chinese mojibake or encoding cleanup before publishing;
• saving model context or avoiding repeated project rediscovery;
• turning repeated local workflow experience into Skill, Agent, Rule, SOP, Prompt, or script.

Workflow

1. Inventory first.

   • Run or emulate scripts/Invoke-WindowsSilkyAudit.ps1.
   • Identify duplicate artifacts, loose release files, encoding risks, WebView2 residue, large projects without entrypoints.
   • Prefer a compact report over feeding raw folder sprawl back into the model.

2. Keep the work non-destructive.

   • Do not delete or move files unless explicitly requested.
   • Produce a report and exact next actions.

3. Patch each repeated friction source.

   • Duplicate builds: choose one canonical artifact and archive the rest.
   • Mystery installers: create an evidence manifest.
   • Encoding risk: run the encoding gate before public copy or README work.
   • Large project re-entry: add README or project card.
   • Repeated release prep: run preflight checklist.

4. Assetize repetition.

   • Twice: rule or checklist.
   • Three times with judgment: Skill candidate.
   • Release blocker: script, SOP, or hook candidate.

5. Review.

   • Claims must point to artifacts, commands, gates, or next actions.
   • Token-saver claims must point to a durable artifact that future agents can read.
   • Delegated output must return to current Codex for final acceptance.

Output Contract

Return:

• Windows smoothness findings ordered by priority;
• evidence count or artifact example for each finding;
• exact patch asset to use;
• commands run or commands to run;
• residual risk;
• no raw private logs.

Completion Gate

The task is incomplete unless at least one reusable asset is created or updated: script, manifest, checklist, SOP, AGENTS rule, Skill, prompt, or project card.
