The judgements Frank has already given, so nobody spends his time making them twice. Read before producing. Add a judgement the moment he gives one, in his own words, with the date.
A judgement goes in only when he has reacted to something real he could see. Nothing here comes from a discussion.

i have 3 times the same UI, it is clear that no inspiration was looked at in the studio
Apply it as: if the three candidates share a skeleton, a type scale or a colour behaviour, they are one option. Hunt further before showing anything.

The second attempt gave the agents measurable targets: largest type at least five times body size, colour over a third of the first screen, no more than twenty-five words on the first screen.
stop, it is very ugly
Apply it as: numbers may check a design after the eye has approved it. They can never generate one. Choose a real model and copy it faithfully instead.

Six rules, all correct for a document read calmly, all fatal to a page meant to impress: grayscale first with colour as a scarce accent · the 66 to 72 character reading measure · the token ladder's snap-never-invent · hierarchy by de-emphasis · the shared block vocabulary · the two audits run as a delivery gate.
Apply it as: mode pièce suspends all six, as set out in the README. Do not run token-audit.py or composition-audit.js on a pièce.
12-08-2026
Apply it as: in a pièce, none of these may appear. Structure comes from the reference, never from our last page.

no dark themes
Apply it as: copy a dark reference's scale, rhythm, confidence and colour behaviour. Never its darkness, in any section, band, tile or footer.
Still to be filled. The most useful entry this record can get is a page Frank finds beautiful. Ask him for one, capture it, and write down what he liked. Until that exists, every judgement here is about what he does not want, and taste built only from refusals stays timid.

Twenty-two judgements are recorded for this stream. The ones below are about what he sees and hears; the rest set the production line and live in the full record.

A card carrying an abstract label conveys nothing. Every concept on a page carries a real example image, so he can judge on sight whether it is what he wants. A named site gets its thumbnail and one plain line.
whatever doesn't convey any clear meaning should be eliminated

I have no idea what GSAP is, so either you explain if it is worth it, or you don't mention
A term is worth one plain line, or it does not appear.

I see that you still write documents in md for the UI/UX document. They all should be in HTML
Markdown stays as the source behind the view; every index and back-link points at the page.

The person on a page is a speaker. Its forms are sizes: face, to the bottom of the neck · half bust, head and shoulders · bust, to the chest · full body, to the feet. A still picture is not a size; it is the separate option before the speaker.
Is it a talking bust or a speaker? If it is a speaker, just say speaker.
I don't know what rungs is.

You make people think that you have two buttons… this is not the case. Don't mix the problems.
No unrelated button, control or badge in the frame, and never a control that no longer exists on the live page.

This is a practical manual, not a report nor a manifest… our model is a cook book, should be all very concrete.
Titles name dishes, sections are recipes, and no words about ourselves.

I don't see prominently in the studio index page either 'make your own speaker'. It should be linked to the homepage. People should see it.
A top-menu link is not visibility. A card on the front door is.
05-08-2026
When a capability has several routes, the front page of the section is the choice itself: a question, then one card per route, each opening its own page, with everything common left behind on the front page, once. The choice must be visually big: a table of rows reads as reference, three large cards read as a decision.
We should start from the current speaker page, and then you have the three choices.
