What it does

This skill adds a quality-control loop for artistic outputs such as images, films, slides, and site captures. Instead of accepting the first draft, the agent writes a brief, has a set of vision judges score the work against a written rubric, lists ranked defects to fix, and repeats up to four rounds. Only a passing result is handed over, and the user's own scores can be recorded to refine the judges over time. It does not create the artwork itself; another skill must do that.

Great for

  • Creators who want an objective second opinion on visuals before publishing
  • Teams that need a repeatable pass/fail check on artistic deliverables
  • Users who already have an image, film, or slide generation skill and want a quality gate

Skip it if

  • Producing the artifact itself, since a separate domain skill is required (the skill only judges and gates)
  • Text writing audits, which the skill explicitly excludes
  • Scores treated as absolute truth: judges are AI models and their verdicts can diverge from human taste, so the owner's own eye remains the final check

Try asking

  • “Critique this image against my brief and tell me the ranked defects”
  • “Run the quality loop on this film until it reaches the bar, then deliver it”
  • “Rate the visuals in this slide deck and list what to fix”
  • “Record my score of 8 and note for this render so the judges can be calibrated”

Get better results

  • Complete Setup.md first, including a no-cost proof run, before relying on critique results
  • Write a Brief.json using References/BriefExample.json as a template so judges have a clear audience, register and bar
  • Treat a one-vendor panel result as weaker evidence and check the vendor_missing flag in the report
