  • Reviewing a design before delivery
  • Checking consistency with brand guidelines
  • Checking keyboard access and readable contrast
  • Removing vague or padded interface copy

Overview

What it does

critique-theater reviews a design from five perspectives and proceeds to fix the defects it finds. It checks visual execution, such as layout and spacing; whether the design solves the requested problem; consistency with the brand; accessibility so people can use it; and the specificity and readability of its text. Each area is checked independently, rather than judging the work only by how attractive it looks.

When it helps

Use it before handing over a finished design when you want to reduce overlooked issues. It brings together checks for the design system's typography and color requirements, keyboard operation, and explanatory text that contains vague wording or unnecessary padding. This makes it useful when the work needs a review covering both its appearance and how people use and read it.

Example requests

  • “Check this design from all five perspectives and fix the defects.”
  • “Review the brand requirements and accessibility.”
  • “Reduce vague wording and unnecessary explanations in the screen text.”

Design review

Before you hand an artifact over, review it against five dimensions and fix what falls short. This is a quality bar, not a performance: do the review, apply the fixes, and describe the outcome in ordinary prose.

The five dimensions

Judge the artifact you just produced from five angles. Each one owns its own scope; do not let a strength in one excuse a failure in another.

  • Craft — layout, hierarchy, spacing, alignment, and visual rhythm. Does it read as deliberate work rather than a template with the words swapped out?
  • Critique — does it actually solve the user's stated problem? Look for the weakest claim, the thinnest section, the thing a sceptical reviewer would attack first.
  • Brand — does it follow the active design system's tokens, typography, and voice? A brand violation is a defect even when the result looks pleasant.
  • Accessibility — contrast ratios, touch-target sizes, focus rings, labels on interactive controls and dialogs, keyboard reachability, sensible heading order.
  • Copy — is the text specific, readable, and free of filler? Placeholder phrasing and marketing padding both count as defects.

What to do with the findings

Record each concrete defect and fix it in the same turn. A finding you cannot fix is worth stating plainly, with the reason, so the user can decide.

Keep iterating while defects remain and you still have room to work. Stop when the artifact clears all five dimensions, or when further rounds stop producing real improvements — whichever comes first. Three passes is a sensible ceiling.

OD_MAX_DEVLOOP_ITERATIONS caps the outer plugin pipeline stage; it is not this review's round limit. A pipeline's critique.score signal is a scheduler-facing projection, not something you should write into your answer.

How to report it

Write the outcome the way you would write any other part of your answer: plain prose, in the user's language, saying what you checked, what you fixed, and anything you deliberately left alone.

Do not invent a structured review transcript, a scored panel, a cast of named reviewer personas, or any tag-based envelope around your answer. Do not write a critique.json file into the project. None of those are inputs to anything — they only add noise to the user's chat.
