Run a design critique with a clear presenter contract, feedback rules that attack the work not the person, and captured decisions. Use when a designer brings work in progress to a group for structured feedback rather than approval.
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
# Design critique A critique is a working session where a designer shows unfinished work and a group helps make it better. It is not a status update and not a sign-off gate. Left unstructured, it collapses into taste debates about color while the actual problem goes unexamined, and the designer leaves with fifty opinions and no decision. A method keeps the room aimed at the goal and turns feedback into changes someone owns. ## Method 1. **Open with the presenter contract.** Before showing a single screen, the designer states the problem being solved, the constraints, the fidelity stage, and the two or three decisions they actually want feedback on. Without that frame, the room defaults to bikeshedding whatever is easiest to have an opinion about. 2. **Frame the user and the metric, not the feature.** Present the job-to-be-done, who has it, and what success looks like. Reviewers cannot judge a checkout flow without knowing whether the goal is fewer steps or fewer errors, and those pull in opposite directions. 3. **Enforce the feedback rules out loud.** Critique the design against the stated goal, not personal preference; ask "what problem does this solve" …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/design-critique@sha256:411dad2a1eaedd81The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.fac4544, 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.
