SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Design shotgun enables rapid visual design exploration by generating multiple AI-driven variants and surfacing them for side-by-side evaluation, reducing time spent on initial direction.

Core Features & Use Cases

Generate multiple design variants and open a comparison board for side-by-side assessment.
Collect structured feedback and iterate towards a converged direction.
Proactively suggest design directions when a feature is described but options haven't been shown.

Quick Start

Start a new visual design exploration by running /design-shotgun to generate variants and open the side-by-side comparison board.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate multiple AI design variants for UI exploration?▼

You generate multiple AI design variants by running the design-shotgun command, which creates visual options and opens a side-by-side comparison board for rapid UI exploration.

What is the best way to collect structured feedback during a design critique?▼

The best way to collect structured feedback is using a side-by-side comparison board to evaluate AI design variants, iterate on options, and converge on a single design direction.

How do I compare visual design options side-by-side during early sprints?▼

To compare visual design options side-by-side during early sprints, trigger variant generation, which automatically surfaces the created designs in a dedicated comparison board.

Can I use AI to suggest design directions when a feature is described?▼

Yes, when a feature is described but options are not shown, the system proactively suggests design directions by generating multiple AI-driven visual variants for review.

Where are generated AI design variants saved in the workspace?▼

Generated AI design variants are saved as persisted design artifacts in the workspace directory at ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/, ensuring exploration history is retained.

Do I need any external design tools to run a brainstorming session?▼

No external design tools are needed for brainstorming. The system coordinates variant generation and comparison board creation internally, requiring no external dependencies.
