ArtDirection

Directs visual quality across images, films, slides, and site captures through a direction council, two vendors' vision judgments against anchored craft criteria, ranked defects, bounded iteration, gated delivery, and recorded human calibration labels. USE WHEN critique this, art direction, quality loop, rate the visuals, is this pro, iterate until it's great, deliver the render, art council. NOT FOR producing the artifact itself (use the appropriate image, motion, story-film, video-essay, web-design, or slide-production capability), for text writing audits, or for rating and rendering an ISA (ISA).

# ArtDirection

A shared quality loop for artistic deliverables: the Brief defines audience, register, references and bar; a Direction council resolves the visual intent into `Direction.md`; the domain skill produces the artifact against it; Critique yields two vendors' scores and ranked defects; iteration reaches the bar or reports the shortfall at four rounds; only a passing result reaches Deliver; and Calibrate records the principal's own verdict as evidence for later judge calibration. The domain skill makes the artifact; this skill supplies the quality evidence.

## Ideal State

- Nothing artistic reaches the principal or a public surface without a current passing critique from the judge panel bound to the exact bytes delivered. The panel is cross-vendor whenever two approved vendors are reachable; a one-vendor panel may still pass, and its report carries the `vendor_missing` flag as weaker evidence.
- Every verdict is honest: pass only when the pooled median reaches the bar and each vendor median reaches bar minus 0.5, with no UNKNOWN score or critical defect, a cap hit reported with its shortfall, and an unreachable vendor reported as unavailable rather than as a quality failure.
- Each round names ranked, located defects a producer can fix, judged against the concept-first rubric rather than adjectives.
- A figure's anatomy and mechanics are judged as a defect class: extra or missing limbs, a grip or pose that does not match the object held, or physically impossible motion is a critical defect located by image region or frame, so the critique fails it; the judges read this rule from `References/Rubric.md`.
- The principal's own scores are kept verbatim as labels, and judges change only through a deliberate calibration, never automatically.
