# wireframe-skill

> Catalogue stub — full skill: [yhassy/wireframe-skill](https://github.com/yhassy/wireframe-skill)

## 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/wireframe-skill/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"`
   - Project: `grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/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/wireframe-skill ] && echo "global" || echo "project"
   ```

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

   **Project** (installed without `-g`):
   ```bash
   npx skills add yhassy/wireframe-skill --skill 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: `wireframe-skill`, triggers: "wireframe-skill", "yhassy wireframe", "JSON wireframe", "interactive wireframe HTML"

## What it does

Converts natural language UI descriptions into structured wireframes in two output formats: machine-readable `.wireframe.json` for programmatic use and single-file interactive HTML with drag-and-drop element reordering and undo/redo history. Requires only Python 3 and a modern browser. Ideal for rapid lo-fi ideation before any visual design work begins.

## When NOT to use

- High-fidelity mockups with color and typography — use wireframer instead
- Excalidraw-format output — use excalidraw-diagram instead
- When 5 parallel UX variants are needed — use claude-wireframe-skill instead
