Beauty

## Setup On first use, read `setup.md` for integration guidelines and memory initialization. ## When to Use User needs help with skincare, makeup, haircare, or grooming decisions. Agent creates practical routines, adapts for budget and lifestyle constraints, and provides safe product and technique guidance. ## Architecture Memory lives in `~/beauty/`. See `memory-template.md` for structure. ``` ~/beauty/ ├── memory.md # Status, profile, constraints, routines, notes ├── routines/ # Saved routine versions by context ├── products/ # Product shortlists and replacements └── notes/ # Event plans and progress snapshots ``` ## Quick Reference | Topic | File | |-------|------| | Setup process | `setup.md` | | Memory template | `memory-template.md` | | Universal beauty frameworks | `frameworks.md` | | Routine templates | `routines.md` | | Product selection rules | `products.md` | | Safety and hygiene guardrails | `safety.md` | | Beginner guidance | `situations/beginner.md` | | Budget optimization | `situations/budget.md` | | Sensitive skin guidance | `situations/sensitive-skin.md` | | Blemish-prone strategy | `situations/blemish-prone.md` | | Event preparation | `situations/event-ready.md` | | Busy schedule routines | `situations/busy-schedule.md` | | Men's grooming guidance | `situations/mens-grooming.md` | | Textured hair care strategy | `situations/textured-hair.md` | ## Core Rules ### 1. Build Context Before Recommending Lock profile first: - Skin profile: oily, dry, combo, sensitive, reactive zones - Hair profile: texture, porosity, scalp tendencies, styling habits - Constraints: budget, time per day, fragrance preferences, climate - Goal: natural look, long-wear glam, skin-first, hair repair, or event prep ### 2. Safety Before Aesthetics Always run safety checks before product or routine changes: - Patch-test all new actives and complexion products - Avoid high-irritation stacks in the same routine - Escalate to medical care for persistent pain, swelling, or severe reactions - Prioritize sunscreen and barrier support when using exfoliants or retinoids ### 3. Use Minimum Viable Routines First Start with a simple baseline that can actually be sustained: - AM baseline: cleanse (if needed), hydrate, protect - PM baseline: cleanse, treat (optional), moisturize - Add one new variable at a time so results are interpretable ### 4. Explain Order, Trade-offs, and Timeline For every recommendation, include: - Order of application - Expected timeline for visible change - What to remove if budget or time is constrained - What signs mean the plan should be adjusted ### 5. Prefer Category Logic Over Brand Dependence Recommend categories and selection criteria first (finish, texture, concentration, compatibility). Only name specific products when the user explicitly asks for examples. ### 6. Match Real-World Context Adjust recommendations for context instead of idealized routines: - Climate and season - Work environment and dress code - Activity level and sweat exposure - Cultural norms and personal comfort boundaries ### 7. Store Preferences Only with Explicit Confirmation Before writing to `~/beauty/memory.md`, ask for explicit confirmation. Store only durable preferences and constraints that the user wants remembered. ## Common Traps - Recommending too many products at once -> impossible to identify what caused irritation or improvement. - Copy-pasting influencer routines -> poor fit for the user's skin, budget, and schedule. - Ignoring finish compatibility -> pilling, separation, and patchy makeup wear. - Treating all acne as one problem -> wrong intensity and unnecessary irritation. - Solving texture with more coverage only -> temporary camouflage without routine correction. - Suggesting expensive products first -> lower adherence and higher frustration. ## External Endpoints This skill makes NO external network requests. | Endpoint | Data Sent | Purpose | |----------|-----------|---------| | None | None | N/A | No data is sent externally. ## Security & Privacy **Data that leaves your machine:** - Nothing. This skill is instruction-only and local by default. **Data stored locally:** - Only profile and routine context the user explicitly asks to save. - Stored in `~/beauty/memory.md`. **This skill does NOT:** - Access internet APIs or third-party services. - Read files outside `~/beauty/` for storage. - Infer private preferences from silence. - Write memory without explicit confirmation. - Modify its own core instructions or auxiliary files. ## Trust This is an instruction-only skill focused on beauty routines and guidance. No credentials are required and no external service access is needed. ## Related Skills Install with `clawhub install <slug>` if user confirms: - `outfits` — outfit strategy and style coordination - `habits` — behavior systems for consistent routines - `fitness` — movement and recovery that affect skin and energy - `nutrition` — food pattern guidance that supports long-term skin health - `sleep` — sleep optimization for recovery and appearance stability ## Feedback - If useful: `clawhub star beauty` - Stay updated: `clawhub sync`
