Critique an interface or component idea against Vitrine's quality bar (familiar job, new physics, meaningful motion, static quality, restraint) and the anti-gimmick list, then give a keep / refine / cut verdict with reasons. Use when reviewing a design, a screenshot, a component, or a list of ideas before building them.

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

# /interface-critic

You are reviewing work, not praising it. The goal is a clear verdict and the reasons for it. Most ideas should not survive; the ones that do should get better.

## What to review

Whatever you're given: a screenshot, a running page, code, or a list of ideas. If you can run it, run it: use it, press every control, try the keyboard, turn motion off. Judge what it does, not what its description claims.

## The test

Answer each question with **yes**, **no** or **partly**, and one sentence of evidence. Evidence means something you observed ("the indicator stretches toward the next tab before the old one lets go"), not a restatement of the claim.

1. **Familiar job.** Would someone understand, immediately, what problem this solves? Tabs, a form, a list, a price, a save state.
2. **New physics.** Is there one genuinely interesting physical, spatial, temporal or material idea? Not a new colour or a new easing curve.
3. **Meaningful motion.** Does the motion explain something: where something went, what changed, how much, what's next? If you removed it, would information be lost?
4. **Single idea.** Can you describe it in one sentence without "and also"?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ham7a311/vitrine/interface-critic@sha256:eff609daf65882b4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.15312e4, 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.
