SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Designing interfaces often requires generating and comparing many design variants, collecting feedback, and iterating. Design Shotgun makes this process fast by producing multiple AI-generated variants and a structured feedback loop to drive rapid iteration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate AI design variants to explore multiple directions
  • Open a design comparison board to surface trade-offs
  • Collect structured feedback from stakeholders for iterative refinement
  • Proactively suggest design options when the user describes a UI feature
  • Standalone design exploration you can run anytime

Quick Start

Invoke the design-shotgun workflow for a project to generate variants and load the comparison board.

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

To generate UI design variants, invoke the design-shotgun workflow to produce multiple AI-driven directions and automatically open a comparison board to surface visual trade-offs.

What is the best way to collect structured feedback on design variants?

Collecting structured feedback on design variants is done through the comparison board, which gathers stakeholder input to drive iterative refinement and rapid UI/UX exploration.

Do I need local gstack workflows to run design exploration?

Yes, design exploration requires local gstack-enabled workflows to access project DESIGN.md and approved.json artifacts for loading existing design systems into the variant generator.

Can I use this for feature concepting across different projects?

Yes, you can use this for feature concepting across projects because it proactively suggests design options whenever you describe a UI feature, enabling standalone exploration anytime.

How does a design comparison board work for iterative design?

A design comparison board works by displaying multiple AI-generated variants side by side, allowing stakeholders to evaluate trade-offs and provide structured feedback for the next iteration.
