SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Design shotgun provides a fast way to generate and compare multiple AI-driven design directions, reducing the time to reach a preferred visual concept.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate multiple design variants automatically and view them side-by-side on a comparison board.
  • Iterate quickly by collecting structured feedback and refining directions.
  • Store artifacts on disk under ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs for persistence across sessions.

Quick Start

Invoke /design-shotgun to start generating several design directions and view them side-by-side in your browser.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compare multiple AI design variants side-by-side?

To compare multiple AI design variants side-by-side, this tool automatically generates visual directions and renders them together on a comparison board. It accelerates visual direction selection by displaying different options in your browser simultaneously.

What is the best way to brainstorm UI design directions using AI?

The best way to brainstorm UI design directions is to generate several AI-driven variants and review them on a visual comparison board. This approach enables fast side-by-side evaluation and iterative feedback for standalone design exploration.

Do I need specific design tooling binaries to generate visual variants?

You need design tooling binaries available on your system to generate or render visual variants. If binaries are unavailable, the tool falls back to rendering HTML boards to ensure you can still compare design directions.

How do I save design artifacts for persistence across brainstorming sessions?

Design artifacts are saved on disk under the ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs directory. This ensures your generated visual variants and comparison boards persist across multiple brainstorming and iterative feedback sessions.

What happens if my local design binaries are unavailable for rendering?

If local design binaries are unavailable for rendering, the tool falls back to generating HTML boards. This fallback ensures you can still view and compare AI design variants side-by-side without interrupting your brainstorming workflow.
