Wireframe Sketch Skill

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

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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-gradient lines), 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".
  4. 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-id on header, tabs, sidebar, KPIs, chart, bar-chart, sticky notes.
  5. 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.
