Three directions side by side for any design ask, with the Art Director's notes on each and no polish. Use when you want to see the options before committing, or to pick a direction yourself.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Run the roughs step on its own as the Design Manager.

    line 7
  2. Very specific:

    Run: Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/desk/SKILL.md now and follow it from step 0 to step 7 as the Design Manager with the desks above.

    line 29
  3. Very specific:

    Run steps 0 to 3 as written, then only the Roughs part of step 4, rendered with screenshots.

    line 31

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Run the roughs step on its own as the Design Manager.

Deliverable and standard. Three roughs of whatever the ask is, each in a different composition pattern from the deliverable's standard, laid out side by side with notes. The standard is the one that matches the ask (card, carousel, landing page, email, deck, chart, dashboard, clip, icon set, print piece). No polish, no proof gate, no sign-off: these are directions, not finished files.

Desks.

Art Directordesk:art-directordirectornotes per rough: what works, what fails, what it would take, and a recommendation without applying it

Inputs. Text, a file to draw from, a URL, a screenshot, the same as design.

Proof sizes. The standard's default sizes. Proof renders screenshots only, no checks.

Output under .desk/out/<id>/:

  • rough-1.html, rough-2.html, rough-3.html (up to --count), each named for its pattern in a comment on line one.
  • compare.html: the roughs side by side at each size with the pattern name and the Art Director's notes under each.
  • compare.md: the notes and the recommendation in text.
  • renders/ per rough.

Run. Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/desk/SKILL.md now and follow it from step 0 to step 7 as the Design Manager with the desks above. Command name for state and events: variants. Changes to the loop for this command:

  • Run steps 0 to 3 as written, then only the Roughs part of step 4, rendered with screenshots. The Art Director writes notes and a recommendation but no final.html is made and pick in state records { "by": "none" }.
  • Skip polish, proof checks and sign-off. scores stays empty. The handback's Scores line reads not scored, variants only and the Open line says how to continue: /desk:design with the chosen rough's path as the input.
  • --count above 3 spawns more roughs, each in a further pattern, and the standard has five.
