A heuristic critique of a screen or flow against the Nielsen ten usability heuristics plus the studio rubric, from a screenshot, a file or a URL. Use when you want a usability read, not a redesign.
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
Critique a design as the Design Manager. No roughs, no pick, no polish: the studio looks, names what works and what fails, and says what to change. **Deliverable and standard.** A critique report.

How to install
mdr add adityareddy-dev/deskstudio/design-critique@sha256:2a7fef16cce90ccfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.cbc9b24, 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.
