# OpenPlanr Design Loop

Skill family: Design.

Compare three materially different product design directions in a live review studio, collect pins and ratings, and develop the selected direction. Use for visual alternatives, comparison or a remix.

## Run it

- Claude Code: `/design-loop`. If /design-loop runs another command, use /planr:design-loop.
- Codex: `$design-loop`. With the OpenPlanr plugin for Codex, use $planr:design-loop.
- Cursor: `@planr-design-loop`. Cursor applies the planr-design-loop rule when you mention it in chat.

## Use it to

- Explore multiple design directions or variants
- Iterate a design using pinned board feedback

## Not for

- Create only one initial design
- Review an existing design without generating variants
