SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Exploring visual directions for a UI feature usually means committing to the first idea or manually mocking up alternatives one at a time. This Skill generates several design variants at once, presents them on a comparison board, and structures the feedback loop 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 side by side. - Comparison Board & Structured Feedback: Opens a comparison board and collects structured feedback on each variant to drive the next iteration. - Project Design Context: Loads prior approved variants, DESIGN.md, and recent design docs so new variants stay consistent with your existing design system. - Use Case: You describe a new settings page but dislike how the first mockup looks. Invoke the skill to see several visual directions, pick elements you like from each, and iterate until one variant is approved. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to explore design variants for the UI feature you are building and show you the options on a comparison board.

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

Invoke the skill with a request like "explore design variants" or "show me design options" for the feature you are building. It generates several visual directions in parallel and opens a comparison board so you can review them side by side.

How does the design comparison board collect feedback?

The comparison board presents each generated variant and gathers structured feedback on what you like or dislike per option. That feedback drives the next iteration round until a variant is approved.

Does design-shotgun use my existing design system?

Yes. It loads your project's DESIGN.md, prior approved variants stored under the gstack project directory, and recent design docs as context, so generated variants stay consistent with established patterns.

When should I use design-shotgun instead of a design review?

Use it before implementation when you have not settled on a visual direction, or when you dislike how something looks. A design review skill fits better after a design exists and needs polish or critique.

Can design-shotgun run in headless or spawned sessions?

Yes. In spawned or headless sessions it skips interactive prompts, auto-chooses recommended options, and reports results as prose. Interactive sessions use structured decision questions for feedback.
