SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of exploring design ideas and creating throwaway HTML mockups, facilitating decision-making before implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

Sketch UI Exploration: Generate HTML mockups for UI and design ideas.
Variant Generation: Produce 2-3 variants for comparison.
Integration with GSD: Works with GSD commit patterns, state tracking, and handoff workflows.
Data Grounding: Loads spike findings to ground mockups in real data shapes and validated interaction patterns.
Modes: Idea mode for specific design ideas and Frontier mode for proposing sketches based on existing landscape.

Quick Start

To create a sketch for a new design idea, use the gsd-sketch skill with the design concept as an argument. For example: 'sketch a login page design'.

FAQPage Schema

How do I create HTML mockups for UI design ideation?▼

HTML mockups for UI design ideation are generated by sketching specific design ideas and producing 2-3 variants for comparison. This streamlines exploring design concepts and validating decisions before implementation begins.

What is the best way to generate UI design variants for comparison?▼

Generating UI design variants for comparison is done using modes that produce 2-3 HTML mockups. Idea mode sketches specific concepts, while Frontier mode automatically proposes sketches based on the existing design landscape.

Can I use HTML mockups with Get Stuff Done workflows?▼

Yes, HTML mockups integrate directly with Get Stuff Done (GSD) workflows. The sketching process supports GSD commit patterns, state tracking, and handoff workflows to manage design ideation efficiently.

How do I ground UI mockups in real data shapes and validated patterns?▼

You ground UI mockups in real data by loading spike findings into the design process. This data grounding ensures HTML mockups accurately reflect validated interaction patterns and actual data structures.

Do I need execution context files to sketch UI design ideas?▼

Yes, execution context files and references for design patterns and UI branding are required to sketch UI design ideas. These provide the necessary environment and styling constraints for accurate HTML mockup generation.

When should I use throwaway HTML mockups for design exploration?▼

Throwaway HTML mockups for design exploration are used when you need to facilitate decision-making before implementation. They allow rapid iteration of design ideas and variants without committing to final code.
