description	Use this skill when the task is to review kerning collisions or near-misses, run the kerning bumper workflow, or apply approved kerning exception changes with a dry run first.

Glyphs MCP kerning

Use this skill for guarded kerning bumper workflows.

Core rules

• Prefer the Kerning tool profile when the task is only about kerning.
• Read current state before mutation.
• Run review_kerning_bumper before any apply step.
• Always run apply_kerning_bumper with dry_run=true before a mutating call.
• Only mutate after explicit user approval and with confirm=true.
• Never auto-save the font.

Workflow

1. Read current state with the smallest useful set of tools:
   • get_selected_font_and_master
   • get_selected_glyphs
   • get_font_kerning or get_glyph_details only if the review needs extra context
2. Run review_kerning_bumper and summarize:
   • affected glyphs or pairs
   • collision or near-miss findings
   • proposed adjustments
3. If the user wants to proceed, run apply_kerning_bumper with dry_run=true.
4. Report what would change, including changed and skipped counts if available.
5. Only after explicit approval, run the real apply call with confirm=true.
6. Re-read or summarize the affected state and clearly separate:
   • what changed
   • what was skipped
   • anything still needing manual review
