  The **_screenshot-critique-iterate loop_** is a working pattern for AI coding
  in which you take a screenshot of what the model produced, critique it against
  what you wanted, and use that critique to drive the next iteration. As
  captured in this channel's material, it names this repeat cycle of _look,
  critique, refine_ when working with AI coding tools.

## Definition

The **_screenshot-critique-iterate loop_** is a working pattern for AI coding in which you take a screenshot of what the model produced, critique it against what you wanted, and use that critique to drive the next iteration. As captured in this channel's material, it names this repeat cycle of _look, critique, refine_ when working with AI coding tools.

In this channel's captured material, the **_screenshot-critique-iterate loop_** shows up in the context of a live vibe check on OpenAI's super-fast Spark model — a session about how fast AI coding can go and where speed actually helps versus where a smarter model still wins [^8a401be3@0].
