Live craft critique

Use the lesson to respond to this: "During a live critique, which finding is strongest?" Keep the answer plain.

Step 1 of 3

Expect to be handed a UI - quite possibly a slice of Cursor's own - and asked what you'd change. This is taste under live pressure and a structure keeps you from rambling.

A loose “make it cleaner” answer is the failure mode here. It signals you react to surfaces rather than reason about them. Run a fixed pass instead, from the most consequential layer to the most cosmetic, so nothing important gets skipped and you never sound like you are guessing.

THE CRITIQUE LADDER

Walk top to bottom out loud - most consequential first - so you reason about the UI instead of reacting to it.
