SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of maintaining design consistency and quality in OpenDesign artifacts by automating the review and refinement process, preventing manual oversight during iterative design cycles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Critique: Evaluates artifacts against hierarchy, accessibility, responsiveness, and quality benchmarks.
  • Automated Patching: Applies targeted edits to existing artifacts based on critique feedback.
  • Use Case: Use this to automatically refine a landing page prototype by focusing on responsive behavior and text alignment until the design meets a specific quality score.

Quick Start

Run the refine-critique-loop skill on the current artifact with a focus on visual polish and responsive behavior.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refine an existing design artifact?

Invoke the refine-critique-loop skill to initiate an automated review of your artifact. The skill will analyze the design, apply patches based on your focus criteria, and iterate until the quality threshold is met.

What criteria does the critique process use?

The critique process evaluates artifacts based on visual hierarchy, layout fit, accessibility standards, responsiveness, and artifact-specific quality metrics defined in the pipeline.

Can I control the focus of the refinement?

Yes, you can provide a focus parameter to the skill, such as 'visual polish' or 'responsive behavior', to direct the critique and patching logic toward your specific design goals.

How many iterations does the refinement loop perform?

The refinement loop continues until the critique score reaches 4 or a maximum of 3 iterations is reached, ensuring a balance between quality improvement and processing efficiency.

What happens if the artifact quality does not improve?

The skill stops after reaching the iteration limit or when quality converges. It returns a summary of the changes made and the final state of the artifact for your review.
