Sketchbook

This skill generates a fresh batch of small interaction experiments in the project's own stack. The user keeps or kills each live tile, so the next batch leans further toward what they kept.

Counts and the stack are exact

Each run is a new batch of 6–9 live experiments. Of those, 1 or 2 sit outside the current taste. The gallery is temporary and uses the project's own framework, styling, animation library, tokens and fonts.

Use it when the user says "sketchbook", "inspire me", "give me interaction ideas" or "daily interactions". Also use it for "surprise me with some micro-interactions", "new experiments for today" or "keep this one, kill that one".

Easing, durations, springs and reduced motion belong to motion. Tile names and the one-line note belong to copy. Surfaces belong to defaults, and contrast belongs to color. Reaching for an existing component before a new one belongs to reuse. Collecting outside references belongs to gather. Variants of one idea belong to prototype. Forcing every state of a component open belongs to lab.

1. Read the project

Read the framework, the styling, the animation library, the tokens and the fonts. A batch started before that read is sketchbook-read-the-stack.

2. Read the taste file

Read sketchbook/taste.md at the project root before choosing the batch. When the file is missing, taste is empty and the first choice creates it. When the summary exists, the next batch leans further toward the kept tiles. A batch that ignores a file already there is sketchbook-read-taste.
