SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Design shotgun accelerates visual brainstorming by generating multiple AI-driven design variants and a side-by-side comparison board.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel variant generation across multiple directions to quicken decision making.
  • Automatic creation of a comparison board to surface strengths and tradeoffs.
  • Structured feedback loop that guides iteration from chosen variants to refined designs.
  • Use Case: when starting a new UI screen, run design-shotgun to explore 3–5 directions and pick a baseline direction for refinement.

Quick Start

Provide a project brief and let design-shotgun generate three design variants and open the comparison board for review.

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

To generate multiple AI design variants for a UI redesign, you provide a project brief. The tool coordinates agents to produce three to five parallel design directions and opens a comparison board for review.

What is a design comparison board and how does it help with brainstorming?

A design comparison board surfaces the strengths and tradeoffs of multiple AI-generated design variants side-by-side. This visual brainstorming approach accelerates directional decision making by guiding iteration from chosen variants to refined designs.

Do I need specific design tooling to run design variant generation?

Design variant generation requires design tooling like dist/design and dist/browse when available. If these dependencies are missing, the system falls back to relying on browser previews to display the generated UI options.

Can I use this approach for standalone UI exploration and feature redesigns?

Yes, you can use this approach for standalone UI exploration, feature redesigns, and UI refresh projects. It is specifically built for scenarios where you need fast directional options to establish a baseline direction for refinement.

Where are the generated design artifacts stored on my system?

The generated design artifacts are stored locally under the ~/.gstack/projects directory. This ensures your AI-driven design variants and comparison boards remain accessible for your structured feedback and iteration loop.
