A Claude Code skill that turns a photo of your handwriting into a real font

Someone wrote their alphabet in a notebook, photographed it, and dragged it into Claude Code with one instruction: make my font. A deterministic pipeline traced the letters into vector shapes, but Claude handled the part code can't, telling uppercase S from lowercase s by size, marking shadows and binding holes as junk, then reviewing its own rendered preview to flag which letters traced badly.

The output is a real installable TTF file, fully local and MIT licensed, built from a single messy photo.
