SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves slow, subjective UI exploration by generating multiple design directions at once, then helping you compare and refine them with structured feedback so you do not waste cycles on rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Design-variant generation: Produces several distinct design options for a feature you want to explore, including proactive suggestions when you describe a UI capability without showing examples.
  • Structured comparison and feedback collection: Opens a comparison board approach and captures feedback in a structured way so iteration is based on what you actually like.
  • Informed iteration using project context: Uses prior approved variants and project design-system guidance from DESIGN.md to keep exploration aligned with existing taste and constraints.

Quick Start

Use the design-shotgun skill when you want to explore design variants by asking: "Explore design options for [the specific UI feature], show me multiple variants, and help me pick one by collecting structured feedback."

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

To generate multiple UI design variants quickly, describe the specific UI feature you want to explore. The tool produces several distinct design directions at once for visual brainstorming and comparison.

What is structured feedback in UI design iteration?

Structured feedback in UI design iteration is capturing your preferences on a comparison board systematically. This ensures subsequent refinements align with your actual tastes rather than subjective guesses.

How do I ensure design exploration matches my existing design system?

To ensure design exploration matches your existing design system, the tool reads project context like DESIGN.md and prior approved variants. This keeps generated options aligned with established constraints.

When do I need to use a shotgun workflow for design options?

You need a shotgun workflow for design options when you want to explore a UI capability but have not yet seen concrete directions. It accelerates visual brainstorms by showing multiple variants simultaneously.

Best way to compare front-end design variants without wasting cycles on rework?

The best way to compare front-end design variants without rework is generating multiple directions at once and using a structured comparison board. This captures specific feedback to guide informed iteration.
