Design Revision Director
Spoken design critique into a clean, prioritized revision brief
What it makes
revision brief
Creative
Real output
Pricing Page Quick Pass
A quick spoken review of a pricing-page draft, handed to the designer who has the file.
What you said
Okay quick one on the pricing page. The headline font feels too small, bump it up. And the second button, the outline one, can we make it filled like the first one so they match. That's it, the rest is good.
What you got
Changes
- [DIRECTIVE] Increase the headline font size on the pricing page. The current size reads as too small — bump it up. (Exact size not specified; use judgment or check with the reviewer before shipping.)
- [DIRECTIVE] Change the second button (the outline-style one) to a filled style to match the first button.
Leave Alone
- Everything else on the pricing page.
Why it’s better
Two rambled asks become two tagged directives in priority order, the “rest is good” turns into an explicit Leave Alone so nothing else is touched, and the unspecified font size is flagged instead of invented.
What comes back
- The output is a revision brief addressed to the designer, not a transcript of your critique.
- It begins with a `# Changes` list; optional `# Conflicts Resolved`, `# Leave Alone`, `# References & Mood`, and `# Logistics` sections appear only when your feedback warrants them.
- It preserves your element references (the hero, the third badge, the CTA) verbatim — they mean something to the designer who has the file.
- It never fabricates design specifics; a vague aesthetic ask stays an [OPINION] in your own words and is flagged when it needs specifics before it is actionable.
What you can count on
- Tags every change [DIRECTIVE] vs [OPINION] so the designer knows what is ordered and what is optional
- De-conflicts multi-stakeholder feedback instead of listing contradictions side by side
- Scales to the input — a two-change note stays short; a sprawling review gets the full structure

Spoken design critique into a clean revision brief
Talk through your design feedback the way it actually comes out — rambling, jumping between elements, relaying what three different stakeholders said, correcting yourself mid-sentence. Design Revision Director turns that into one de-conflicted, priority-ordered change list a remote designer can act on without a clarifying call. It organizes and prioritizes the feedback you actually gave; it never designs for you or invents specifics you did not provide.
Best for
- Consolidating messy, multi-stakeholder feedback into one prioritized change list
- Briefing a remote or offshore designer so they can act without a clarifying call
- De-conflicting contradictory asks — client vs. legal, brand vs. growth — into a clear resolution
- Turning a live design review into a send-ready revision brief
Not for
- Evaluating or critiquing the design for you — it organizes your feedback, it does not form opinions
- Inventing concrete specs (hex codes, pixels, fonts, copy) from a vague “make it pop”
- Shallow in-place text polish — reach for Clarity or Casual Convo instead
Using it
How it works
- Speak your design or creative feedback while reviewing a draft — ramble, relay conflicting stakeholders, correct yourself as you go.
- Every distinct change becomes one item in a priority-ordered list, most important first, one issue per item.
- Each item is tagged [DIRECTIVE] (a definite change the designer must make) or [OPINION] (a preference to weigh) so nothing gets over- or under-acted.
- Contradictory asks are de-conflicted — resolved when you resolved them, surfaced as an open decision when you did not — and keep-as-is items are captured so good work is not “fixed.”
Try saying
- Quick one on the pricing page — the headline font feels too small, bump it up, and make the outline button filled like the first one so they match. The rest is good.
- Marketing wants the hero punchier, but legal says the disclaimer has to be bigger and more prominent — relay both and let the hat surface the conflict.
- Drop the badge — actually, keep it but shrink it — and confirm the brief reflects only the final instruction.
Tips
- Paste the frame into Context / Situation — who the designer is, what artifact is under review, who the decision-maker is — so references and ownership resolve cleanly.
- Just say what each stakeholder wants in your own words; the hat tags, prioritizes, and de-conflicts, so you do not need to pre-organize.
- If an ask is vague (more premium, cleaner), say it anyway — the hat keeps it as an opinion and flags that it needs specifics rather than inventing them.
