Same prompt, same image model (Grok Bot's built-in GenerateImage), one sample each, so an illustration, not a benchmark. Without: the prompt as is; the model lettered its own text and invented a subtitle, signs, slogans and an address. With: the skill's loop; art generated without text, then every word set in code from the brief's facts only (the cover's author is a marked placeholder), three rounds each. The with-skill versions win on accuracy, hierarchy and legibility, and lose on first-impression energy and atmosphere. + aesthetic layer: one more round with the aesthetic module (new text-free art, same facts and type in code, contrast re-checked). It wins back warmth and atmosphere, but in Grok Bot's own judgement on one sample each, and with one more round of work than the middle column. Fixed after review: two lighting faults that broke the repo's own blocker (TD-LIT-1, one key light). In the aesthetic poster the bass stood outside the lamp's cone yet was brightly lit, and had a violin's outline; after two failed edits a third put it in the lamp's light, lit from the lamp side, with a double bass's sloped shoulders. In the middle fox cover the open book glowed and lit the face from below; one edit made it plain paper. The aesthetic fox was also re-made to remove a robin and fireflies the brief never asked for. Every hero image with a character then had an anatomy pass (CHAR-9/10): all pass (sweep). Self-judged. Full write-up · aesthetic notes.
A set of design rules and a critique loop that any AI agent can read. It helps an agent judge and improve its own visual work (drawings, illustrations, 3D renders, web and app UI, UX flows): render it, look at it the way a designer would, cite a rule for every problem, make up to three small fixes, and stop when the work is clearly better. Rules are grounded in perception research where it exists and in craft practice where it doesn't, and taste calls stay with the person who owns the work.
## Install
Grok Bot. One click: Creative Director bot. Or point any bot at AGENTS.md.
Claude. Download creative-director-skill.zip (about 200 KB: SKILL.md, core/, modules/, lite/, tools/, the font catalogue; no images, font files or examples; built by tools/packageskill.py). The zip has the creative-director/ folder at its top level, as Claude requires.
claude.ai: first turn on Code execution and file creation in Settings > Capabilities (skills need it). Then, as Anthropic's guide describes: go to Customize > Skills, click +, then + Create skill, choose Upload a skill, and upload the zip. Toggle it on in the skills list. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner may need to allow skills first (see the guide).
Claude Code: unzip creative-director-skill.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/ (or .claude/skills/ inside a project).
Claude Projects: unzip, then add creative-director/SKILL.md, core/principles.md, core/critique-loop.md, core/critique-template.md and the modules you need as project knowledge.
