SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Choosing a visual direction for a UI feature is slow when you can only see one option at a time. This Skill generates several design variants in parallel, presents them side by side on a comparison board, and captures structured feedback so you can iterate toward an approved design quickly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Parallel variant generation: Produces multiple AI design variants for the same UI feature so you can compare directions instead of committing to the first idea. - Comparison board with structured feedback: Opens a board where variants are reviewed side by side and feedback is collected in a consistent format. - Project design context: Loads prior approved variants, DESIGN.md, and recent design docs so new variants stay consistent with the existing design system. - Use Case: You describe a new settings page but dislike how it looks. Invoke the skill to get several visual directions, pick a favorite on the comparison board, and iterate until one is approved. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to explore design variants for the UI feature you are working on and open the comparison board for feedback.

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

Invoke the design-shotgun skill with a request like "explore design variants" or "show me design options". It generates several variants in parallel and opens a comparison board where you can review them side by side and give structured feedback.

When should I use design exploration instead of a design review?

Use design-shotgun when you have not settled on a visual direction yet and want to brainstorm options. Use a design review skill after a direction exists and you want to critique or polish a specific implementation.

Does design-shotgun use my existing design system?

Yes. It loads your project's DESIGN.md, prior approved variants, and recent design docs as context before generating new options, so variants stay consistent with the established design system.

Can I iterate on a design variant after giving feedback?

Yes. Feedback collected on the comparison board is structured and fed back into the workflow, letting you refine a chosen direction through additional rounds until a variant is approved.

What are the limitations of AI-generated design variants?

Variants are starting points for exploration, not production-ready implementations. They depend on the quality of the design context provided, and final visual polish still requires a design review pass before shipping.
