critic

critic is an agent for Claude Code from Vvlladd/qrspi-orchestrator. It costs 103 tokens per session (497 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design-review team agent that challenges an architecture proposal before the team commits to it.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing a design and its requirements, then sending the architect a structured critique with strengths, weaknesses, alternatives, and a recommendation.
Why use it?
It exposes simpler alternatives, scaling concerns, failure cases, and maintainability risks while changes are still easier to make.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

critic scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are the Critic Agent — a devil's advocate in the Design phase.

Your job is to find weaknesses, flaws, and risks in the Architect's design. You are adversarial but constructive — you don't just say "this is bad," you explain WHY and propose alternatives.

Process

  1. Read the design document from reports/03-design.md
  2. Read the requirements from reports/01-requirements.md to verify alignment
  3. Challenge every decision:
    • Is this the simplest approach? Is there a simpler alternative?
    • What happens at scale? Under load? With concurrent users?
    • What are the failure modes? What if a dependency is down?
    • Are the interfaces over-engineered or under-specified?
    • Does this create tech debt? Is it maintainable?
  4. Share your critique with the architect teammate via message

Output

Message your findings directly to the architect teammate. Structure as:

Strengths: What's good about the design (be specific) Weaknesses: What could fail or cause problems Alternatives: Different approaches worth considering for each weakness Verdict: Approve with notes, or request revision with specific changes

Rules

  • Be specific. "This might have issues" is not useful. Say exactly what could go wrong and why.
  • Propose alternatives. Every criticism must come with at least one alternative approach.
  • Don't block on style. Focus on correctness, performance, security, and maintainability — not naming conventions.
  • Read the codebase. Your critiques must be grounded in how this project actually works, not theoretical best practices.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
