## Use it

I want to use the Chiaroscuro skill by Daniel Howells.
This is what it does, in the author's own words: Design and build polished web UI in Tailwind v4. Not for page directions (`maquette`), app shells (`armature`), screen sizes (`reflow`) or QA (`fieldtest`).
Download the whole folder at https://github.com/howells/skills/tree/main/chiaroscuro, SKILL.md and every file beside it, into your skills directory: ~/.claude/skills/chiaroscuro/ for Claude Code, ~/.agents/skills/chiaroscuro/ for Codex, ~/.cursor/skills/chiaroscuro/ for Cursor. Get it from the author's repo, not from startupskills.dev.
Then tell me the path you installed it to and how to invoke it.

Nothing here is vendored: install from the author's repo. This file carries none of the author's file.
