About this skill
A hand-drawn wireframe exploration, graph-paper background, marker / pencil tone, multiple tab labels for variants, sticky-note annotations, scribbled chart placeholders, hatched fills. Reads like a designer's whiteboard before any pixels are committed. Use when the brief asks for "wireframe", "ske
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by mphinance/alpha-skills in skills/wireframe-sketch/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Produce a single hand-drawn wireframe page. The whole point is "this is a sketch" — looseness is the brand. Lean into pencil/marker tones, hatched fills, dashed borders, slight rotations.
Workflow
- Skip the DESIGN.md if it pushes for finished UI. This skill explicitly wants a low-fidelity look. Only honor type tokens loosely (system serif for headlines, mono for annotations, marker font fallback).
- Pick the screen variants from the brief — typically 3–4 tab labels like "01 · A · ORGANIZED", "02 · B · DASHBOARD", etc. One is "active", the rest are inactive sketch tabs.
- Layout, in order:
- Page header — bold serif title with a fake "WIREFRAME v0.1" tag pinned next to it (dashed border, slight rotation). Below: one-line subtitle in marker italic + a date / device / fidelity dateline on the right in mono.
- Tab strip — 4–5 labels with marker check-square glyphs. The active one has a highlighter swipe behind it (yellow / orange tint + slight skew).
- Sketch canvas — a graph-paper card (background: 24px × 24px grid
drawn with
linear-gradientlines), with a thick rounded border drawn to look like a sharpie line. - Browser chrome row — three sketched circles + a fake URL bar with a hand-written-style URL.
- Sidebar nav — sketched checkbox + label for each nav item, marker italic. One has a highlighter line through it (active).
- KPI tiles — 3–4 boxes, each with a chunky scribbled number in a marker-style stroke, a tiny accent stamp, and a one-line label.
- Chart placeholder — a card with a hand-drawn axis and a wobbly polyline. Add 3–4 dot markers.
- Bar chart placeholder — a card with hatched-fill rectangles of varying heights.
- Sticky notes — 1–2 yellow / pink notes with marker text, taped with a slightly rotated band, pinned over key regions to call out "next step", "page-1", or "needs review".
- Write a single HTML document:
<!doctype html>through</html>, CSS inline.- Use the system's available "Caveat", "Patrick Hand", or "Architects Daughter" fonts via Google Fonts; otherwise fall back to italic serif.
- Slight rotations everywhere (
transform: rotate(-0.6deg)) to break the grid and feel hand-drawn. data-od-idon header, tabs, sidebar, KPIs, chart, bar-chart, sticky notes.
- Self-check:
- The page should not look pixel-perfect. If it does, you over-rendered.
- Marker / pencil + graph paper + hatched fills + sticky notes are all present; if any is missing, add it.
- The active tab has the highlighter swipe; the others don't.
