Design Judgment
Teach the reasoning behind your eye, not just the styles you like.
Preference and judgment answer different questions
“I like this” tells Taste about preference. “The hierarchy works because the primary action is clear, but the secondary text competes with it” describes judgment. Taste builds the Design Judgment profile from completed Taste Interviews.
Make your critique specific
Where Taste Interviews are available and enabled, complete an interview about a design. Explain its intent, what is working, what you would change, what should stay, and your verdict. Ground the critique in visible details instead of broad adjectives.
Interview availability and enabled settings can vary. An empty judgment profile can mean there are no completed interviews, not that your ordinary ratings have disappeared.
Choose what an agent can read
Interview summaries and transcripts have separate sharing preferences. MCP judgment and interview tools honor those preferences. If sharing is off, the tool can report that consent is not granted. A transcript is not required just to explain your general design preferences.
Use judgment to review work
If my Taste Design Judgment profile is available and shared, use it to critique this screen: intent, what works, what to change, what to protect, and a ship verdict. Ground each point in the screen. If no judgment profile is available, say so and give a normal critique instead.
What success looks like
The critique explains tradeoffs in a way that reflects your completed interviews, without inventing a judgment profile.
