- Read
.planning/sketches/MANIFEST.mdfor the design direction and reference points - Glob
.planning/sketches/*/README.mdand parse YAML frontmatter from each - Check if
./.claude/skills/sketch-findings-*/SKILL.mdexists for this project- If yes: read its
processed_sketcheslist and filter those out - If no: all sketches are candidates
- If yes: read its
If no unprocessed sketches exist:
No unprocessed sketches found in `.planning/sketches/`.
Run `/gsd-sketch` first to create design explorations.
Exit.
Check commit_docs config:
COMMIT_DOCS=$(gsd-sdk query config-get commit_docs 2>/dev/null || echo "true")
Present each unprocessed sketch in ascending order. For each sketch, show:
- Sketch number and name
- Design question: from frontmatter
- Winner: which variant was selected (if any)
- Tags: from frontmatter
- Key decisions: summarize what was decided visually
Then ask the user:
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ CHECKPOINT: Decision Required ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Sketch {NNN}: {name} — Winner: Variant {X}
{key design decisions summary}
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── → Include / Exclude / Partial / Let me look at it ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
If "Let me look at it":
- Provide:
open .planning/sketches/NNN-name/index.html - Remind them which variant won and what to look for
- After they've looked, return to the include/exclude/partial decision
If "Partial": Ask what specifically to include or exclude from this sketch's decisions.
After all sketches are curated:
- Read all included sketches' tags, names, and content
- Propose design-area groupings, e.g.:
- "Layout & Navigation — sketches 001, 004"
- "Form Controls — sketches 002, 005"
- "Color & Typography — sketches 003"
- Present the grouping for approval — user may merge, split, rename, or rearrange
Each group becomes one reference file in the generated skill.
Derive from the project directory name: ./.claude/skills/sketch-findings-[project-dir-name]/
If a skill already exists at that path (append mode), update in place.
For each included sketch:
- Copy the winning variant's HTML file (or the full index.html with all variants) into
sources/NNN-sketch-name/ - Copy the winning theme.css into
sources/themes/ - Exclude node_modules, build artifacts, .DS_Store
For each design-area group, write a reference file at references/[design-area-name].md:
# [Design Area Name]
## Design Decisions
[For each validated decision: what was chosen, why it won over alternatives, the key visual properties (colors, spacing, border radius, typography)]
## CSS Patterns
[Key CSS snippets from winning variants — layout structures, component patterns, animation patterns. Extracted and cleaned up for reference.]
## HTML Structures
[Key HTML patterns from winning variants — page layout, component markup, navigation structures.]
## What to Avoid
[Design directions that were tried and rejected. Why they didn't work.]
## Origin
Synthesized from sketches: NNN, NNN
Source files available in: sources/NNN-sketch-name/
Create (or update) the generated skill's SKILL.md:
---
name: sketch-findings-[project-dir-name]
description: Validated design decisions, CSS patterns, and visual direction from sketch experiments. Auto-loaded during UI implementation on [project-dir-name].

Write .planning/sketches/WRAP-UP-SUMMARY.md for project history:
# Sketch Wrap-Up Summary
**Date:** [date]
**Sketches processed:** [count]
**Design areas:** [list]
**Skill output:** `./.claude/skills/sketch-findings-[project]/`

## Key Decisions
[layout, palette, typography, spacing, interaction patterns]
Add an auto-load routing line:
- **Sketch findings for [project]** (design decisions, CSS patterns, visual direction) → `Skill("sketch-findings-[project-dir-name]")`
If this routing line already exists (append mode), leave it as-is.
gsd-sdk query commit "docs(sketch-wrap-up): package [N] sketch findings into project skill" .planning/sketches/WRAP-UP-SUMMARY.md
Curated: {N} sketches ({included} included, {excluded} excluded)
Design areas: {list}
Skill: ./.claude/skills/sketch-findings-[project]/
Summary: .planning/sketches/WRAP-UP-SUMMARY.md
CLAUDE.md: routing line added
The sketch-findings skill will auto-load when building the UI.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
## ▶ Next Up
**Explore frontier sketches** — see what else is worth sketching based on what we've explored
`/gsd-sketch` (run with no argument — its frontier mode analyzes the sketch landscape and proposes consistency and frontier sketches)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
**Also available:**
- `/gsd-plan-phase` — start building the real UI
- `/gsd-ui-phase` — generate a UI design contract for a frontend phase
- `/gsd-sketch [idea]` — sketch a specific new design area
- `/gsd-explore` — continue exploring
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
