SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Choosing a UI direction from a single mockup is risky and slow. This Skill generates multiple design variants at once, opens a comparison board, and collects structured feedback so you can iterate on visual direction before committing to implementation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Parallel Variant Generation: Produce several AI-generated design options for the same UI feature in one run. - Comparison Board: Open generated variants side by side for visual review and structured feedback collection. - Iterative Refinement: Feed critique back into the loop to converge on an approved design, with prior approved variants loaded as project context. - Use Case: You describe a new dashboard layout but have not seen what it could look like. Run the design shotgun to get several visual directions, compare them, pick a winner, and iterate until approved. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to explore design variants for the UI feature you are describing and open the comparison board for feedback.

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

Invoke the design shotgun workflow with a description of the UI feature. It generates several AI design variants in parallel, opens a comparison board, and collects structured feedback so you can iterate toward an approved direction.

When should I use a design shotgun instead of a single mockup?▼

Use it when you have not seen what a feature could look like, dislike the current visual direction, or want to compare options before committing. It is designed for early exploration, not pixel-final polish.

Does the design shotgun work in plan mode?▼

Yes. The skill takes precedence over generic plan mode behavior and is treated as executable instructions. AskUserQuestion prompts satisfy plan mode's end-of-turn requirement, and ExitPlanMode is called only after the workflow completes.

What happens if AskUserQuestion is unavailable?▼

The skill is blocked. It stops and reports BLOCKED — AskUserQuestion unavailable rather than auto-deciding or writing decisions to the plan file, since structured feedback collection depends on that tool.

Does it reuse prior design decisions from my project?▼

Yes. It loads prior approved design variants, the project DESIGN.md, and recent design docs from the gstack project state directory as context before generating new variants.
