Step 6 of motion-pack. Makes the agent look at its own render — contact sheet, phone-size sheet, 12-frame strips around fast moments, loop-seam check, determinism check — then scores 8 criteria 1–10 as a harsh motion director, lists the 3 biggest problems with timestamps, and loops back to mp-build until every score is ≥ 8. Use after any render, or when the user says "sieht mid aus", "check das Video", "Kritik", "QC", "warum wirkt das billig".

mp-critique — be a harsh motion director, not a proud author

Iteration is the method, not a failure. Viral AI motion pieces took dozens of critique rounds.

Steps

bash <skill-dir>/scripts/sheets.sh out/draft.mp4 critique/ → contact.png (2 fps, 6 across), phone.png (360 px wide), hook.png (first 2 s at 10 fps), optional strip_<t>.png around fast moments (sheets.sh video dir 4.2 9.8), loop_check.mp4.
Look at the images (vision). If you cannot see images, say so and ask the user to open them; still run the numeric checks.
Score with references/rubric.md (hook · readability · motion · variety · composition · brand accuracy · sound sync · seam/determinism). Write critique/round-N.md.
List the 3 biggest problems with timestamps. Hunt specifically for the forbidden list: text overlapping during swaps · linear slides · corner labels / frame borders · centred-on-gradient shots · blurry scaled text · a dead beat with nothing happening · a stutter at the loop seam · a logo that merely appears.
If any score < 8 → hand off to mp-build with the fix list. Re-render only the affected seconds (single scene), then the full file. Repeat.
bash <skill-dir>/scripts/determinism.sh once before shipping (renders twice, compares hashes).
When all ≥ 8 → update STATE.json scores, hand off to mp-ship.

Rules

Never raise a score to avoid another round. If unsure, score 7.
Max 6 rounds, then present the best version and the remaining issues honestly.
Keep every round's sheet (critique/round-N/) so the user sees progress.
