Quality Critic
Use this skill after a draft render, preview, or meaningful production milestone. This is the quality gate that decides whether the video is publishable or needs another pass.
Responsibilities
- Score the video against a clear rubric.
- Identify the weakest layer causing quality problems.
- Separate taste issues from technical bugs.
- Route fixes back to the correct owner.
- Decide whether the video is publishable, demo-only, or needs rework.
Rubric
Score each item from 1 to 10:
- Hook strength
- Message clarity
- Footage selection
- Edit rhythm
- Visual polish
- Caption readability
- Audio quality
- Motion design
- Platform fit
- Memorability
Workflow
- Inspect the latest render, preview frame, packaging notes, and timeline.
- Score the rubric.
- List the top 3 quality blockers.
- Route each blocker to the responsible skill.
- Write
exports/quality-review.md.
- If average score is below 8, do not mark the video as final.
