You are South and fourth seat. Imps. Favorable. Hampson-Greco. The 4N bid was reported as RKC.

While we used to open hands like North, we have become slightly more conservative in recent times (mostly to avoid the requirement that we alert/pre-alert all our 1M openings). So:

IMPrecision:

1♣ (16+) - 1♥ (spades)
1♠ (rel) - 1nt (diams or balanced or 3-suited)
2♣ (rel) - 2nt (short hearts)
3♣ (rel) - 3♦ (5143)
3♥ (rel) - 4♣ (5 RP)
4♦ (rel) - 4♥ (0/2 top spades)
4♠ (rel) - 5♣ (1 top diamond, no top club)
6♠

This sequence resolves basically responder's whole hand. Note that once we know 5 RP, it is difficult to construct a hand where slam is worse than on the heart break, so we might as well continue relaying.

Silent Club:

Opening North:

1♠-2♥ light openings; 2/1 GF
2♠-3♠ min catch all; trumps agreed, slam interest
4♠-4N no interest; RKC
5♣-5♦ 1/4; Q?
6♦-6♠ yes and K♦; done

If we passed,

P-1♣ weak; strong
1♥-1♠ 4+ spades, usually GF; ask
2♠-2N secondary diamonds and heart shortness, GF; ask
3♦-3♠ 5143; RKC♠
3N-4♣ 1/4; Q?
4N-6♠ yes and K♦; ok

If we needed a swing, we could bid 6N on the latter auction (protected K♦), but spades can handle a bad heart break and with the strong hand looking at all the good spade spots it seems safest.

TOSR:

1♣ - 1♥ (16+; GF 4+♠)
1♠ - 2♣ (relay; 4+ ♦)
2♦ - 2N (relay; high short)
3♣ - 3♦ (relay; 5=1=4=3)
3♥ - 3♠ (QP ask; 5 QPs)
4♣ - 4♠ (DCB; ♠, ♦, not ♣) -> fixed
4N - 5♥ (DCB; not ♥ honour, Q♠)
6♠

Why does TOSR go from skipping to show to skipping to deny? 4 or more vs 3 or less holdings?

The annotation was on the wrong line. 4♠ showed ♠, ♦ and denied ♣. Now, 5♥ denies the singleton ♥ honour and shows second ♠.

Depends if North opens a weak two, but the result is the same:
2♠-2NT (weak 5+♠ ; relay, usually strong)
3♣-4NT (5♠ ; RKC)
5♣-5♦ (1 keycard ; ♠Q?)
6♦-6♠ (♠Q+♦K no other Kings ; cool)

or

pass-1♣ (hand doesn't suit a 2♠ opening ; 16+)
1♠-2♥ (GF 5+♠ ; 5+♥)
3♦-3♠ (4+♦, usually not 6♠ ; ♠Hx or 3 card fit)
3NT?-4♣ (what else? ; cue with ♠ fit)
4♦-4NT (cue ; RKC)
5♣-5♦ (1 keycard ; ♠Q?)
6♦-6♠ (♠Q+♦K no other Kings ; cool)
