wireframe

Wireframe

Low-fidelity exploration with ≥3 variations along different axes. Uses design_canvas.jsx for side-by-side presentation.

Phase 0 — Context pre-flight (auto-detect, ONE question max)

Before exploring variations, silently check for context:

1. Read .claude/design-tokens.json if exists (but wireframes are greyscale — use only for layout hints)
2. Bash(ls ~/.claude/design-systems/ 2>/dev/null) — brand folder match
3. Glob codebase tokens at project root
4. Scan brief for github / Figma / image / .md attachments → dispatch ingestion skills

If nothing — ONE AskUserQuestion: design system / codebase / screenshot / Figma / none / decide. Report "Using . Proceeding." — then proceed greyscale regardless (wireframes are pre-color).

Rules

• No color — greyscale only (grays + single accent if needed)
• Placeholders everywhere for imagery, icons, labels — a placeholder is better than a bad attempt
• Varying axes — layout, interaction metaphor, visual treatment, density, hierarchy
• Mix conservative and novel — one "by-the-book", one exploring new territory

Build

1. artifacts/<slug>-wireframes.html with React + Babel + design_canvas.jsx
2. Bash(cp starters/design_canvas.jsx "$(dirname <html>)/") — copy next to the HTML file
3. Shell:

   <DesignCanvas columns={3} label="Options for {{thing}}">
     <DesignCanvas.Cell label="Option A — classic">...</DesignCanvas.Cell>
     <DesignCanvas.Cell label="Option B — dense">...</DesignCanvas.Cell>
     <DesignCanvas.Cell label="Option C — novel">...</DesignCanvas.Cell>
   </DesignCanvas>
   

4. Use dashed borders (border: 1px dashed #999) and greybox for placeholder content. Block letters or [Image] labels, not actual SVG.

Verify + next steps

• Run /serve (needed because design_canvas.jsx is external), then /done http://127.0.0.1:4567/artifacts/<slug>-wireframes.html
• Fix → Skill: verify-artifact silently
• Ask user which direction(s) to develop → invoke /interactive-prototype on chosen option
