Thin router for the design-critique motion: triggers and pointer stops into the contract, including the operator-gated loop. Use when the operator asks for a design critique, design-critique, critique panel, mechanism-shaped triage, arc, or run an arc. Do NOT trigger on ordinary implement, build, or swarm work.

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.

# Design Critique

Thin router into the design-critique contract. Operator dispatches from the brief template.

Legend (from RFC2119): !=MUST, ~=SHOULD, ≉=SHOULD NOT, ⊗=MUST NOT, ?=MAY.

## When to Use

- Operator asks for a design critique, a design-critique, a critique panel, mechanism-shaped triage, arc, or run an arc
- ⊗ Ordinary implement, build, or swarm work

## Stops

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add deftai/directive/deft-directive-design-critique@sha256:92d90762b0cb7430

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.3a99f5f, 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.
