critique-iterator

critique-iterator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Biolytics-AI/rhetoric-engine. It costs 34 tokens per session (909 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for turning feedback on a presentation or outline into an ordered list of revisions. It identifies the underlying problems and defines how to check the next version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess decks, talks, rehearsals, or stakeholder comments, then prioritize fixes and plan tests for the revised version.
Why use it?
It prevents reviews from becoming subjective edits based only on personal taste, and focuses work on risks to audience understanding.

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

critique-iterator 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 5d 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.

Critique Iterator

Convert feedback into a ranked revision backlog. Treat critique as evidence about audience risk, not as a vote on preferences.

Inputs

  • Draft deck, outline, talk track, speaker notes, rehearsal notes, review comments, rubric scores, or stakeholder feedback.
  • Approved intent, insight, argument spine, slide thesis map, evidence dossier, design guidance, delivery constraints, and success criteria when available.
  • Audience, setting, duration, decision need, and required standards.
  • Prior critique backlog and delta report when running another review loop.

Outputs

  • severity_ranked_issues: ordered issues with risk type, affected slide or section, evidence, severity, and owner when useful.
  • root_causes: underlying causes such as unclear thesis, weak proof, broken sequence, overload, inaccessible design, or delivery mismatch.
  • concrete_fixes: specific revisions that preserve approved artifacts or route upstream when they cannot.
  • retest_plan: rubric checks, audience tests, rehearsal checks, and acceptance criteria for the next loop.
  • delta_report: what changed since the prior version, what improved, what regressed, and what remains unresolved.

Workflow

  1. Normalize all feedback into observable audience risks before ranking it.
  2. Classify each issue as comprehension, credibility, action, design, or delivery risk; label mere taste separately and do not let it outrank material risk.
  3. Compare feedback against the approved intent, insight, argument spine, slide thesis map, evidence, and delivery constraints.
  4. Identify root causes instead of only restating symptoms.
  5. Rank by severity, audience impact, likelihood, dependency order, and effort only after impact is clear.
  6. Propose concrete fixes that name the affected artifact, slide, note, transition, visual, or delivery behavior.
  7. Support rubric-driven review loops by mapping issues to rubric dimensions, score changes, acceptance criteria, and retest actions.
  8. Produce a delta report for repeat reviews; separate fixed, improved, unchanged, new, and regressed items.
  9. Route upstream when a fix would change approved intent, insight, argument spine, slide thesis map, or evidence claims.

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.
