SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the lack of structured, multi-perspective feedback in design workflows by automating a formal jury review process that ensures design artifacts meet specific brand and accessibility standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Role Jury: Simulates five distinct perspectives—Designer, Critic, Brand, Accessibility, and Copy—to evaluate artifacts.
  • Structured Scoring: Implements a 0–10 scoring system with configurable thresholds for automated shipping decisions.
  • Replayable Transcripts: Persists review sessions as NDJSON streams, allowing teams to audit the decision-making process for any artifact.

Quick Start

Run the critique-theater skill to initiate a five-role design jury review for the current artifact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initiate a design jury review?

Trigger the critique-theater skill within an artifact-generating session to enable the Design Jury. The daemon will automatically inject the required protocol and panelists into the agent prompt.

What roles are included in the critique panel?

The panel consists of five fixed roles: Designer, Critic, Brand, Accessibility, and Copy. These roles evaluate the artifact based on their specific scopes and provide actionable feedback.

How is the ship threshold determined?

The ship threshold is determined by the OD_CRITIQUE_SCORE_THRESHOLD configuration, defaulting to 8.0. A round ships only when the composite score meets this threshold and no must-fix items remain.

Can I customize the critique panel roles?

No, the cast is fixed in v1. The plugin does not support replacing the standard list of axes with custom roles or criteria.

How do I interrupt a critique session?

Use the Interrupt button or the Esc shortcut in the web Design Jury surface. The daemon will abort the run, persist the current state, and emit a critique.interrupted event.
