SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you turn vague UI or product ideas into concrete, testable directions before you commit engineering effort, reducing wasted build time and design churn.

Core Features & Use Cases

Throwaway HTML mockups for rapid iteration: Produce 2–3 sketch variants to compare alternative design directions.
Frontier mode for consistency: Analyze an existing sketch landscape and propose coherent next sketches and gaps.
GSD-integrated planning and handoff: Store sketches in .planning/sketches/ and connect outputs to GSD commit/state/hand-off workflows for future implementation conversations.

Quick Start

Run the gsd-sketch skill with a design idea and optionally add --quick when the direction is already clear.

FAQPage Schema

How do I create HTML mockups to test UI design directions before coding?▼

You create throwaway HTML UI mockups that explore 2–3 design variants to validate visual structure and interactivity before committing code. This approach reduces wasted build time and design churn by testing directions early.

What is the best way to compare design variants during product planning?▼

Comparing design variants during product planning is done by generating 2–3 throwaway HTML mockups. This method grounds interaction assumptions and validates visual structure, allowing you to evaluate alternative design directions before committing engineering effort.

Can I use throwaway HTML sketches for frontend handoff workflows?▼

Throwaway HTML sketches can be used for frontend handoff by storing outputs in `.planning/sketches/` and connecting them to GSD commit and state tracking workflows. This integration supports future implementation conversations and validates implementation fit.

How do I analyze an existing UI sketch landscape to find missing design gaps?▼

Analyzing an existing UI sketch landscape to find missing design gaps uses frontier mode to propose coherent next sketches. This evaluates current design directions and identifies gaps to maintain consistency across the product planning workflow.

Does gsd-sketch work with GSD state tracking and commit patterns?▼

Gsd-sketch works with GSD state tracking and commit patterns by integrating sketch planning into the workflow. It stores outputs in `.planning/sketches/` and optionally runs a wrap-up workflow to connect designs to hand-off processes.

When should I avoid using throwaway HTML mockups for UI design?▼

You should avoid using throwaway HTML mockups when the design direction is already clear and does not require comparing multiple variants. In cases where visual structure and interactivity validation are unnecessary, committing directly to code bypasses the sketch planning phase.
