<!-- origin: user (design-SOTA research, 2026-06-30); implements DESIGN-WORKFLOW.md G3 (NN/g Design Critique ritual + I Like/I Wish/What If + named multi-agent panel as TRIAGE), DESIGN-SKILLS-AND-EVAL.md §1.1 (one-persona-per-call reliability protocol), §1.2 (the four personas + quota), §2.1-§2.4 (0-4 scale, 9 dimensions/weights/critical triggers, weighted composite + cap), §3 (defer DIRECTION to the human; enumerate don't pick). -->

critique-panel Skill

The G3 CRITIQUE gate of the TCR design-review loop — the discuss edge. Four named heuristic personas each reason over the same pre-computed Track-A numbers (ui-audit audit.json) + the screenshot, run the NN/g design-critique ritual, score the nine DESIGN-EVAL v1 dimensions 0–4, and emit a typed verdict. synthesize then dedupes + ranks them into one findings list with a weighted composite.

Skill location: ~/.claude/skills/critique-panel/

The harness (critique_panel.mjs) is pure plumbing — it never calls a model and never measures pixels. It routes evidence onto each persona's owned dimensions, builds the per-persona brief, validates typed verdicts (incl. the quota gate), and aggregates.

---

When to use

• The G3 CRITIQUE gate after ui-audit (G1) has produced audit.json + screenshots.
• You want a multi-perspective, severity-rated, typed critique (not "looks good to me").
• You want the panel to enumerate + rank defects and propose directions for the human.

When NOT to use:

The honesty note (cite it)

The four named personas

Driving the panel (the harness)

1) ASSEMBLE — read audit.json + screenshot(s) + rubric, route numbers onto each

persona's owned dimensions, write FOUR persona briefs (.json + .md) to fill.

-> SUCCESS:critique-panel-user-advocate-<id> / FAILED:...

4) SYNTHESIZE — merge verdicts -> ranked findings + weighted composite + protected wins

-> SUCCESS:critique-panel-<id>

Dump the persona + synthesis JSON Schemas (keep them in sync)
