SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans often describe backend logic in detail while leaving UI decisions vague, which leads to generic, accidental interfaces discovered only after implementation. This Skill reviews a plan with a designer's eye, rates each design dimension 0-10, and fixes the plan before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Dimension Scoring: Rates each design dimension of a plan 0-10, explains what would make it a 10, then edits the plan to close the gaps. - AI Mockup Generation: Uses the gstack designer binary to generate visual mockups, style variants, and comparison boards so design decisions are shown, not described. - Edge Case and AI-Slop Detection: Flags missing empty states, error states, responsive behavior, accessibility specs, and generic AI-generated-looking layouts. - Use Case: Before implementing a new dashboard page, run this review in plan mode to catch missing loading states, undefined mobile layouts, and unspecified typography, then approve a generated mockup direction. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run /plan-design-review on the current plan to score its design completeness and generate mockups before implementation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a plan for UI/UX gaps before implementation?▼

Run /plan-design-review in plan mode. It rates each design dimension 0-10, explains what would make each a 10, and edits the plan directly to add missing decisions like empty states, hierarchy, and accessibility specs.

What is the difference between plan-design-review and design-review?▼

plan-design-review evaluates a written plan before any code exists and improves the plan itself. design-review performs live visual audits of an already-running site. Use the plan version pre-implementation.

Does plan-design-review generate visual mockups?▼

Yes, when the gstack designer binary is available it generates mockups, style variants, and side-by-side comparison boards by default. If the binary is missing, it falls back to HTML wireframes.

Can I use plan-design-review on a backend-only plan?▼

No. The skill detects UI scope first and exits early if the plan involves no screens, interactions, or frontend changes, telling you a design review is not applicable.

Where are the generated design mockups saved?▼

All mockups, comparison boards, and approval files are saved to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/designs/, never in project-local directories. They persist across branches and workspaces as user data.
