# Critique Composition

For layouts that feel wrong when nothing obviously is

## What this does

The screen is not broken, the order of importance is fine, and yet the layout feels wrong. This reviews balance, whitespace, rhythm and how things group visually, so the vague feeling gets a name. Reach for it when hierarchy already checks out. If attention is landing in the wrong place, use the hierarchy critique instead.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Review a layout that feels off
- Check balance and whitespace on a screen
- See how elements are grouping together

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Critique Composition

This critiques a rendered screen's composition - balance, whitespace, rhythm and gestalt grouping.

Use it when a layout feels off but hierarchy is fine. For emphasis and eye flow specifically, critique-visual-hierarchy is the one.

## Questions

### Is Critique Composition safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Critique Composition and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 20e34c4a587e, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/critique-composition.

### How do I install Critique Composition?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/critique-composition on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/Owl-Listener/designer-skills/tree/20e34c4a587e5eb09fcdf8351fa97b3ad761b31e/visual-critique/skills/critique-composition.
