What the skill does
View the source codeIn detail.
Hand it a plan, section, elevation, or render. Design-Critic flags 2 to 4 specific issues, each tied to a reading axis (concept consistency, scale and proportion, circulation and program, materiality and detail, context, or feasibility) and backed by something visible in the project — never a generic critique.
When to use it
Before a jury review, a client handoff, or a permit submission: when you want an outside read that won't settle for "interesting".
