Review and fix a video made from an HTML page. Look at a rendered page film and say what is wrong, as a fresh session that did not write it: the phone, strip and loop views, bin/vawe critique, page-check, the default-reject judge that names shot, frame and fix, the top five, and re-rendering only the affected seconds. Load after any draft render, before any fix.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# vawe-critique: how to look

When you talk to the person, use plain words: describe what the viewer sees, not the harness terms (map: harness/lib/plain-words.mjs).
Run this skill inside a vawe checkout: `AGENTS.md`, `taste/` and `bin/vawe` live there. With no checkout, get one: `git clone https://github.com/vawe-hq/vawe.git && cd vawe && npm install && bin/vawe-dev doctor`.

The author never grades its own film. Run this in a session that has not seen the authoring, or
let `bin/vawe critique <page> --fresh` start one (a headless critic with the prompt below; it writes
`out/<film>.critique-<n>.md`). Default verdict is REJECT; the film passes only when you
cannot find a reason to reject it. Grade what is on screen, not what the film meant.

## The views, in this order

```bash
bin/vawe critique films/<name>/page.html [--ref quality/refs/<ref>/source.mp4]
```

It writes the sheet, the strip, the phone view and the loop pair, and runs the page checks. Then
look, and write one line per finding under each view:

1. **Sheet**: every frame. Is the focal point obvious in under a second? Is anything cramped,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vawe-hq/vawe/vawe-critique@sha256:7c686d31dddbd924

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.9be4b65, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
