What's this about?
The critic audits feedback against visible evidence and keeps each correction as a persistent note. Authors report gains up to 12.4, 15.0 and 8.9 points on three coding benchmarks, distinguishing compliance with a suggestion from actual issue resolution.
What exactly is critic?
A second checking process that reviews an agent’s work and suggests corrections, like a reviewer who follows up on an unresolved comment.
What's the community saying / why does it matter?
HF: 14 upvotes; no substantive discussion collected. The useful design is evidence-based follow-up; reported maximum gains should not be assumed on every repository.
