Curate sketch design findings and package them into a persistent project skill for future UI implementation. Reads from `.planning/sketches/`, writes skill to `./.claude/skills/sketch-findings-[project]/` (project-local) and summary to `.planning/sketches/WRAP-UP-SUMMARY.md`. Companion to `/gsd:sketch`.

``` ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ GSD ► SKETCH WRAP-UP ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ``` ## Gather Sketch Inventory

1. Read .planning/sketches/MANIFEST.md for the design direction and reference points
2. Glob .planning/sketches/*/README.md and parse YAML frontmatter from each
3. Check if ./.claude/skills/sketch-findings-*/SKILL.md exists for this project
   • If yes: read its processed_sketches list and filter those out
   • If no: all sketches are candidates

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:

_GSD_SHIM_NAME="gsd-tools.cjs"; _GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT="${RUNTIME_DIR:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)}"; GSD_TOOLS="${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}"; if [ -f "$GSD_TOOLS" ]; then gsd_run() { node "$GSD_TOOLS" "$@"; }; elif [ -f "${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/.claude/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" ]; then GSD_TOOLS="${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/.claude/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}"; gsd_run() { node "$GSD_TOOLS" "$@"; }; elif command -v gsd-tools >/dev/null 2>&1; then GSD_TOOLS="$(command -v gsd-tools)"; gsd_run() { "$GSD_TOOLS" "$@"; }; elif [ -f "$HOME/.claude/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" ]; then GSD_TOOLS="$HOME/.claude/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}"; gsd_run() { node "$GSD_TOOLS" "$@"; }; else echo "ERROR: gsd-tools.cjs not found at $GSD_TOOLS and gsd-tools is not on PATH. Run: npx -y @opengsd/gsd-core@latest --claude --local" >&2; exit 1; fi
COMMIT_DOCS=$(gsd_run query config-get commit_docs 2>/dev/null || echo "true")

## Curate Sketches One-at-a-Time

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":

1. Provide: open .planning/sketches/NNN-name/index.html
2. Remind them which variant won and what to look for
3. 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.

## Auto-Group by Design Area

After all sketches are curated:

1. Read all included sketches' tags, names, and content
2. Propose design-area groupings, e.g.:
   • "Layout & Navigation — sketches 001, 004"
   • "Form Controls — sketches 002, 005"
   • "Color & Typography — sketches 003"
3. Present the grouping for approval — user may merge, split, rename, or rearrange

Each group becomes one reference file in the generated skill.

## Determine Output Skill Name

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.

## Copy Source Files

For each included sketch:

1. Copy the winning variant's HTML file (or the full index.html with all variants) into sources/NNN-sketch-name/
2. Copy the winning theme.css into sources/themes/
3. Exclude node_modules, build artifacts, .DS_Store

## Synthesize Reference Files

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/

## Write SKILL.md

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].
---

<context>
## Project: [project-dir-name]

[Design direction paragraph from MANIFEST.md]
[Reference points mentioned during intake]

Sketch sessions wrapped: [date(s)]
</context>

<design_direction>
## Overall Direction

[Summary of the validated visual direction: palette, typography, spacing system, layout approach, interaction patterns]
</design_direction>

<findings_index>
## Design Areas

| Area | Reference | Key Decision |
|------|-----------|--------------|
| [Name] | references/[name].md | [One-line summary] |

## Theme

The winning theme file is at `sources/themes/default.css`.

## Source Files

Original sketch HTML files are preserved in `sources/` for complete reference.
</findings_index>

<metadata>
## Processed Sketches

[List of sketch numbers wrapped up]

- 001-sketch-name
- 002-sketch-name
</metadata>

## Write Planning Summary

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]/`

## Included Sketches
| # | Name | Winner | Design Area |
|---|------|--------|-------------|

## Excluded Sketches
| # | Name | Reason |
|---|------|--------|

## Design Direction
[consolidated design direction summary]

## Key Decisions
[layout, palette, typography, spacing, interaction patterns]

## Update Project CLAUDE.md

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.

Commit all artifacts (if `COMMIT_DOCS` is true):

gsd_run query commit "docs(sketch-wrap-up): package [N] sketch findings into project skill" --files .planning/sketches/WRAP-UP-SUMMARY.md

``` ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ GSD ► SKETCH WRAP-UP COMPLETE ✓ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

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
