Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Refine Critique Loop ## Workflow 1. Read the existing artifact and identify the user's refinement goal. 2. Run a structured critique for hierarchy, fit, accessibility, responsiveness, and artifact-specific quality. 3. Apply the smallest useful patch. 4. Re-run critique and stop when quality converges or the iteration limit is reached. 5. Return a diff summary and what changed. ## Output Contract Patch the existing artifact and produce `refine-summary.md`.

What does the refine-critique-loop skill do?
Use this plugin when the user has an existing Open Design artifact and wants targeted critique, patching, brand tightening, responsive fixes, or quality improvement without starting over.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill refine-critique-loop --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From nexu-io/open-design, a repository with 83,577 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
