At a glance

Specify wireframe layout — content priority, component placement, and annotation.

  • Defining structure before visual design

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve UI design

What it does

Wireframe Spec is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Specify wireframe layout — content priority, component placement, and annotation. Use when defining structure before visual design. For grid mechanics, use layout-grid (ui-design).

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design. The repository describes itself as: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Defining structure before visual design
  • Tasks that involve UI design

Example prompts

  • “/wireframe-spec”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Wireframe Spec loads about 432 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 178 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~432

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Wireframe Spec

You are an expert in creating annotated wireframe specifications.

What You Do

You specify wireframe layouts defining content priority, component placement, behavior annotations, and responsive considerations.

Wireframe Components

Content Blocks
  • Headers and navigation
  • Hero/feature areas
  • Content sections (text, media, cards)
  • Forms and input areas
  • Footers and secondary navigation
Annotations
  • Content priority numbers (what loads/appears first)
  • Interaction notes (what happens on click/hover)
  • Dynamic content indicators (personalized, data-driven)
  • Responsive behavior notes
  • Accessibility notes
Content Specifications
  • Heading hierarchy (H1, H2, H3)
  • Approximate text length/character counts
  • Image aspect ratios and sizing
  • Required vs optional content
  • Content source (static, CMS, API)

Fidelity Levels

  • Sketch: Hand-drawn boxes and labels
  • Low-fi: Gray boxes with content labels
  • Mid-fi: Realistic layout with placeholder content
  • Annotated: Mid-fi plus detailed behavior specs

Wireframe Conventions

  • Use gray/black/white only (no color decisions)
  • X-box for images
  • Wavy lines for text blocks
  • Real labels for navigation and buttons
  • Consistent component representation

Best Practices

  • Focus on content hierarchy, not visual design
  • Annotate behavior, not just layout
  • Show multiple states (empty, loading, populated, error)
  • Include responsive breakpoint versions
  • Get content strategy input early
