SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Critique is a structured evaluation of whether the design achieves what it set out to do, for the people it set out to serve — and whether it does so with the craft quality the project demands. This skill ensures review is rigorous, specific, and constructive. When a taste profile exists, critique includes aesthetic evaluation against that profile — not arbitrary personal preference, but the specific emotional target, craft standards, and quality bar the team agreed on.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stepwise evaluation of design decisions against intent and principles
  • Accessibility and craft-focused critique, with structured reports
  • Integration with other Designpowers skills (design-discovery, design-strategy, etc.)

Quick Start

Perform a structured critique of the provided design artefacts and deliver a formal report.

How do I review design artefacts against a specific taste profile?▼

To review artefacts against a taste profile, conduct a critique that includes aesthetic evaluation based on the agreed emotional target and craft standards. This ensures the review is specific and constructive rather than relying on arbitrary personal preference.

Does a formal critique report include usability and system constraint checks?▼
