SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows you to easily create a new, isolated design direction based on an existing project, enabling parallel exploration without disrupting the original work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Variant Creation: Generates a new directory for an alternative design path.
  • Artifact Copying: Copies essential design artifacts like brief.md and personas.md to the new variant.
  • Approach Branching: Allows direct branching into a specific, previously defined design approach from approaches.md.
  • Use Case: You've developed a primary design concept but want to explore a significantly different approach without losing your current progress. This skill lets you create a new branch for that exploration.

Quick Start

Create a new design variant named 'alt-nav' from the current project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I explore alternative design directions without losing my current progress?

You can explore alternative design directions by creating an isolated variant directory that branches from your current project. This copies essential artifacts like brief.md and personas.md, allowing parallel concept exploration without disrupting the original work.

What is design branching and how does it support prototyping variants?

Design branching is the process of creating an isolated variant directory to support parallel prototyping. It copies essential design artifacts like brief.md and personas.md to the new variant, allowing you to explore a significantly different approach without affecting the original project.

Can I branch into a specific design approach defined in approaches.md?

Yes, you can branch directly into a specific, previously defined design approach from approaches.md. The skill supports forking a specific approach or general context, creating a variant directory tailored to that unchosen concept path.

What files get copied when creating a new design variant?

When creating a new design variant, the skill copies brief.md and personas.md to the new variant directory. Optionally, it can fork additional context or a specific design approach defined in your approaches.md file.

Do I need any dependencies to create an isolated concept variant?

No dependencies are required to create an isolated concept variant. The skill operates independently to generate a new directory and copy essential design artifacts like brief.md and personas.md for your alternative workflow.
