SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates an end-to-end design critique workflow, guiding teams from a project brief through facet planning, critique loops, and final design direction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates the full critique pipeline: design brief, facet planning, per-area critique loops with side-by-side option comparisons, feedback capture, and progression to a coherent design direction.
  • Routes to specialized sub-skills (e.g., design-brief, facet-planning, crit loops, design-direction) based on project state, ensuring consistent progress and state management.
  • Generates a persistent overview dashboard (.design-crit/overview.html) after state changes and maintains a compressed crit-session.md that records decisions and user intent.

Quick Start

Invoke /design-crit in your project directory to start a new design critique workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a structured design critique workflow for UI and UX projects?โ–ผ

A structured design critique workflow guides teams from a project brief through facet planning, side-by-side option comparisons, and feedback capture to a coherent design direction. This process evaluates typography, navigation, color, and layout.

What is the best way to collect and track design feedback during a critique session?โ–ผ

The best way to collect design feedback is using an orchestrated critique loop that captures decisions and user intent in a compressed session file. It maintains state and generates a persistent overview dashboard after each transition.

Can I compare multiple design options side-by-side for layout and color evaluation?โ–ผ

Yes, you can compare multiple design options side-by-side. The critique workflow orchestrates per-area comparisons for typography, navigation, color, and layout, allowing teams to evaluate alternatives before progressing to a final direction.

How does a design critique pipeline maintain state across different review stages?โ–ผ

A design critique pipeline maintains state by storing project data in a dedicated directory and generating an overview dashboard after state changes. It routes to specialized sub-skills based on the current project stage, ensuring consistent progress.

Do I need specialized sub-skills to evaluate typography and navigation in a design review?โ–ผ

Yes, evaluating specific areas like typography and navigation relies on specialized sub-skills. The main critique workflow routes to these components during the per-area critique loops to ensure thorough and consistent design evaluation.

When should I use an orchestrated critique loop instead of a manual design review process?โ–ผ

You should use an orchestrated critique loop when moving from a project brief to final design direction. It replaces manual reviews by automating facet planning, feedback capture, and state management, ensuring a coherent and traceable design workflow.
