# Critique Command
Use this command to get a Distinguished Engineer level technical critique of the current approach and implementation.
<!-- recall:begin -->
## Step 0: Prior-art check (MANDATORY)
Before critiquing, recall prior learnings from the global knowledge base so we don't re-learn or re-decide something already captured:
```bash
uv run "{{HOME_TOOL_DIR}}/skills/recall/scripts/recall.py" \
"<QUERY>" \
--limit 5 --format markdown
```
**Query construction for `/critique`**: a short summary of the approach/code being critiqued + relevant domain keywords (e.g. `"event-sourced migration rollback strategy"`).
**What to do with results:**
- If a returned learning names a constraint, anti-pattern, or prior decision directly relevant to the task — surface it to the user BEFORE proceeding with this skill's main flow.
- If nothing relevant returns — proceed silently, no need to mention the check.
- Never block on recall failure. Empty output / non-zero exit is expected when the KB is absent or the subprocess errors — treat it as "no prior art found", not as an error.
<!-- recall:end -->
