taste steering

A loop that keeps generated design work close to my taste. A judge pass checks each artifact against my recorded decisions — palette, type, register, the things I've rejected before — and flags violations before the work reaches me.

I can't review every intermediate artifact, and unreviewed generations drift generic. A judge that cites my recorded decisions filters before I look — and each correction I make teaches it, so the filtering gets tighter over time.

The judge runs on rules I've actually made: every time I choose, approve, or reject a direction, that decision is recorded with the reason. A passing rules check is necessary but never sufficient — my eyes make the final call, and when they disagree with the judge, the correction becomes a new recorded decision.

The whole method is downloadable and adaptable — method/steps/taste-steering.md and skills/design-judge/SKILL.md inside the zip. Start by writing down ten things you've rejected and why; that's a working taste corpus.
