# Claude Wireframe Skill

> Generates 5 UX design approaches as interactive prototypes — 1 safe design-system extension and 4 exploratory variants — starting as B&W wireframes then producing color variants via parallel agents. Scans codebase on first run to build persistent design context.

## Decision tree

1. **Is the full skill already installed?**
   Check whether the skill at this location still has a `das:` block:
   - Global: `grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/claude-wireframe-skill/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"`
   - Project: `grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/claude-wireframe-skill/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"`
   - No `das:` block → full skill installed, invoke it and proceed
   - `das:` block present → go to step 2

2. **Detect scope, then install:**

   To detect scope:
   ```bash
   [ -e ~/.agents/skills/claude-wireframe-skill ] && echo "global" || echo "project"
   ```

   **Global** (installed with `-g`):
   ```bash
   npx skills add Magdoub/claude-wireframe-skill --skill claude-wireframe-skill -g -y
   ```

   **Project** (installed without `-g`):
   ```bash
   npx skills add Magdoub/claude-wireframe-skill --skill claude-wireframe-skill -y
   ```
   > **Claude Code:** send either command as a chat message starting with `!` to run it without leaving the conversation.


## Invoke after install

Skill name: `claude-wireframe-skill`, triggers: "claude-wireframe-skill", "5 UX approaches", "exploratory wireframe", "Magdoub wireframe"

## What it does

Launches a multi-agent wireframing workflow that produces 5 distinct UX design approaches for any given UI problem: 1 safe variant that extends the existing design system and 4 exploratory variants that challenge conventions. The skill first scans the codebase to extract persistent design context (colors, components, patterns), then produces black-and-white wireframes before generating color variants in parallel. Useful when you need divergent thinking, not just a single best guess.

## When NOT to use

- Single wireframe output — use wireframe-skill or wireframer instead
- Excalidraw diagrams — use excalidraw-diagram instead
- When you want a fast single-pass result without parallel agent overhead
