SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Design shotgun accelerates visual design exploration by generating multiple AI-driven design variants and surfacing them for side-by-side comparison.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate multiple design directions from the current project context.
  • Open a live comparison board in the browser for side-by-side evaluation.
  • Iterate with feedback until a preferred direction is selected.
  • Persist design artifacts under ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs for cross-session access.

Quick Start

Start by running /design-shotgun to generate several AI design variants and view them in a side-by-side browser board.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate multiple AI design variants for visual brainstorming?

To generate AI design variants for visual brainstorming, run the design generation command to create multiple design directions from your current project context. The system opens a side-by-side comparison board in the browser for evaluating the variants.

What is the best way to compare UI design variants side by side?

Using a visual comparison board is the best way to compare UI design variants side by side. It displays multiple AI-generated design directions simultaneously, allowing you to evaluate options, collect feedback, and iterate until a direction is approved.

Do I need any external systems or dependencies to run design iteration locally?

No external systems or dependencies are required to run design iteration locally. The workflow operates entirely within your local environment, reading project context and persisting design artifacts under a local project directory for cross-session access.

How do I iterate on feature ideation designs until a direction is approved?

To iterate on feature ideation designs, apply feedback to refine the generated variants displayed on the comparison board. The workflow supports continuous visual iteration, allowing you to adjust and compare design directions until you approve a final approach.

Where are AI design exploration artifacts stored for cross-session access?

AI design exploration artifacts are stored locally under the ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs directory. This persistence mechanism ensures your generated design variants remain accessible across multiple sessions for ongoing visual brainstorming and iteration.
