SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Custom facet critique requires a flexible framework when a project needs evaluation beyond the pre-built facet library. This skill provides a structured crit loop with design-principle guidance, enabling teams to apply rigorous evaluation to domain-specific challenges without prescribing domain knowledge.

Core Features & Use Cases

Provides a framework for a bespoke crit loop that can be adapted to any design facet.
Derives and enforces evaluation criteria, options generation, compare view, feedback capture, and convergence until a decision is reached.
Works with the existing critique pipeline and design system, using the project brief and state to constrain decisions.

Quick Start

Define the current facet in state.json and the project brief in brief.md to initialize a custom facet crit loop.

FAQPage Schema

How do I run a design critique for custom project domains not covered by built-in facets?▼

A custom design critique loop handles unique project domains by deriving domain knowledge from the project brief, generating divergent design options, and converging feedback into a locked handoff aligned with the design system.

What is a bespoke design facet crit loop and when do I need one?▼

A bespoke design facet crit loop is a structured evaluation cycle for unique design challenges requiring domain-specific criteria. You need it when pre-built critique facets cannot adequately assess the specific requirements of your project domain.

How to set up a custom design critique cycle using a project brief?▼

Define the current facet in state.json and outline project requirements in brief.md to initialize the critique cycle. The system loads this context to enforce evaluation criteria, generate options, and present compare views for feedback.

Can I use this custom facet critique workflow with an existing design system?▼

Yes, the custom critique loop integrates with your existing critique pipeline and design system. It uses the project brief and current state to constrain decisions, ensuring the final locked handoff remains fully aligned with established design principles.

What are the limitations of using a custom design critique loop for evaluation?▼

The custom critique loop provides the evaluation framework but does not prescribe domain knowledge. Teams must derive and supply the specific domain expertise required to generate and evaluate options for their unique project facet.

What is the best way to converge divergent design options into a locked handoff?▼

The best way to converge divergent options is to use structured compare views to collect targeted feedback iteratively. The critique cycle refines these options against derived criteria until a final design decision is locked for handoff.
