Ask for it in plain words

Which of these critique notes are ready to act on? <paste>

Lint design critique. Sorts each note into observation, opinion, solution-without-problem, vague, or question, explains what is missing, and gives an observation, impact, suggestion skeleton for weak notes. Reports the share of notes ready to act on.

Example output

The report field, for the input above (structured fields come back alongside it):

5 notes: 1 observations, 0 solutions without a problem, 1 opinions, 2 vague, 1 questions. 20% ready to act on.

[vague] Make it pop more
   "Make it pop" cannot be acted on; say what you see that gives that impression
   Observation: on the [element or screen], I see [what is actually there].
   Impact: because of that, [who] will [do or miss what].
   Suggestion: [optional; a direction to try, not an instruction].
[opinion] I don't like the blue
   a preference with no effect attached; say who it affects and how, or drop it
   Observation: on the [element or screen], I see [what is actually there].
   Impact: because of that, [who] will [do or miss what].
   Suggestion: [optional; a direction to try, not an instruction].
[observation, ready] The checkout button is the same grey as the cancel link, so people will not know which one finishes the order
[question] Can we use a carousel here?
[vague] Feels off
   "Feels off" cannot be acted on; say what you see that gives that impression
   Observation: on the [element or screen], I see [what is actually there].
   Impact: because of that, [who] will [do or miss what].
   Suggestion: [optional; a direction to try, not an instruction].

A note is ready when it names the part, says what it does to the person using the design, and leaves the fix open. Questions are fine; they are not scored down.

Limits of this tool

Deterministic: the same input always gives the same answer. It does not call a language model.
