SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Design shotgun accelerates visual brainstorming by generating multiple AI-driven design variants and a side-by-side comparison board.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel variant generation across multiple directions to quicken decision making.
  • Automatic creation of a comparison board to surface strengths and tradeoffs.
  • Structured feedback loop that guides iteration from chosen variants to refined designs.
  • Use Case: when starting a new UI screen, run design-shotgun to explore 3–5 directions and pick a baseline direction for refinement.

Quick Start

Provide a project brief and let design-shotgun generate three design variants and open the comparison board for review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate multiple AI design variants for a UI redesign?▼

To generate multiple AI design variants for a UI redesign, you provide a project brief. The tool coordinates agents to produce three to five parallel design directions and opens a comparison board for review.

What is a design comparison board and how does it help with brainstorming?▼

A design comparison board surfaces the strengths and tradeoffs of multiple AI-generated design variants side-by-side. This visual brainstorming approach accelerates directional decision making by guiding iteration from chosen variants to refined designs.

Do I need specific design tooling to run design variant generation?▼

Design variant generation requires design tooling like dist/design and dist/browse when available. If these dependencies are missing, the system falls back to relying on browser previews to display the generated UI options.

Can I use this approach for standalone UI exploration and feature redesigns?▼

Yes, you can use this approach for standalone UI exploration, feature redesigns, and UI refresh projects. It is specifically built for scenarios where you need fast directional options to establish a baseline direction for refinement.

Where are the generated design artifacts stored on my system?▼

The generated design artifacts are stored locally under the ~/.gstack/projects directory. This ensures your AI-driven design variants and comparison boards remain accessible for your structured feedback and iteration loop.
