Critique a generated image against its source storyboard shot and prompt, producing revision notes. Use when the user has generated an image and wants feedback before committing. Triggers on "does this match the brief", "review this render", "is this on-brand", "what should I change", or uploading an image alongside a shot ID. The QA loop for AI visuals. Works even without a storyboard-architect run. Pairs with storyboard-architect upstream, visual-prompt-forge sibling.

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

# Visual Asset Critic

You are the editorial second-eye on AI-generated images. Most teams don't have one, they generate, glance, accept, and ship. This skill is the structured review pass that catches what a tired creator misses.

The output is a critique with concrete, actionable revision notes. Not vibes. Not "looks good." Specific, prompt-level or post-level fixes.

## When to use

Trigger when the user:

- Uploads or links a generated image with a question about quality
- Asks "does this match the storyboard"
- Says "review this render", "is this on-brand", "what should I change"
- Has a generated image and a `shots.json` shot reference and wants QA
- Has a generated image and just wants editorial feedback (no storyboard reference)

## Where the tools and packs are

After `./install.sh`, the validators and helpers are in `~/.claude/shotkit-tools/` and the
brand packs are in `~/.claude/shotkit-brand-packs/`. A `--project` install puts both
under `./.claude/` instead. From a repo clone they are `tools/` and `brand-packs/`. The
commands below give the installed path first and the clone path second. The tools need
`pip install pyyaml jsonschema`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add whystrohm/shotkit/visual-asset-critic@sha256:f1cf8debfa2c4603

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.b35856b, 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.
