SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Exploring visual directions for a UI feature is slow when you can only picture one option at a time. This Skill generates several design variants in parallel, opens them side by side on a comparison board, and turns your reactions into structured feedback that drives the next iteration. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Parallel Variant Generation: Produces multiple distinct AI design variants for the same UI feature so you can compare real options instead of imagining them. - Comparison Board: Opens generated variants side by side for direct visual evaluation. - Structured Feedback Loop: Collects your reactions through decision briefs and iterates on the chosen direction. - Use Case: You describe a new dashboard layout but dislike the first result. Invoke the Skill to see several visual brainstorm variants at once, pick a direction, and refine it through guided feedback rounds. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to explore design variants for the UI feature you are working on and open the comparison board.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate multiple design variants for a UI feature?

Invoke the design-shotgun workflow with a description of the feature. It produces several distinct visual variants in parallel and opens them on a comparison board so you can evaluate options side by side before iterating.

When should I use design exploration instead of a design review?

Use design exploration when you have not settled on a direction yet and want to see options, such as visual brainstorms or 'show me options' requests. A design review fits later, when a chosen design needs polish and critique.

Can this run in a headless or spawned agent session?

Yes. In spawned sessions it auto-chooses recommended options without interactive prompts, and in headless sessions it blocks when a required question cannot be answered. Interactive sessions use decision briefs for feedback.

What happens to the feedback I give on design variants?

Feedback is collected as structured decisions through question prompts or prose briefs, then used to drive the next iteration of variants. Session telemetry and learnings may be logged locally under the gstack home directory.

Does design-shotgun work without the gstack CLI installed?

No. The workflow depends on gstack helper binaries for configuration, telemetry, session detection, and update checks. Without them the preamble checks fail and core behavior such as decision logging is unavailable.
