        "skill_md": "# Design Iteration — the 15-Version Method\n\n**For visual work only.** Use this for anything you can *see* — websites, logos, UI components, brand visuals, layouts, graphics, video title cards, GIFs. It is **not** for writing, code logic, or any non-visual task.\n\n## The idea\n\nThe hardest part about using AI is understanding how it interprets your prompts. This design hack lets you **speak the language of AI**. Instead of describing what you want in abstract words and hoping the AI guesses right, you create **15 versions** of what you intend to make, then choose the visual design elements that appeal to you most.\n\n## How to use it\n\n1. **Install this skill and invoke it.** Tell it what you want to make (e.g. \"a landing-page hero,\" \"a logo for a coffee brand\").\n2. **It creates 15 versions.** Each one is genuinely different — different layout, colours, background, and treatment. Not 15 tiny tweaks of the same idea.\n3. **Look at all 15 side by side.** They are laid out on a single contact sheet so you can compare at a glance.\n4. **Describe what you like from each iteration.** This is the whole trick — don't pick one winner, grab pieces:\n   - *\"Take the borders from #1 and add the stickers from #2.\"*\n   - *\"Use the colour scheme from #5 with the layout from #11.\"*\n5. **It combines those into one version.** That becomes your v1.\n6. **Keep going.** Every version is kept, so you can always go back — or borrow an idea from an earlier one while working on a later one.\n\n## Why it works\n\nSeeing 15 real examples teaches you what you want faster than describing it ever could. The 15 versions become your **vocabulary**: instead of reaching for the right words, you point at version 4 and say \"more like this.\" Specific, example-based feedback (\"the gold border from #3 with the serif font from #7\") produces exactly what you want — \"make it look better\" does not.\n\n## Under the hood\n\n**1. 15-iteration generator** — creates 15 genuinely different visual versions, each with a distinct approach\n**2. Element picker** — you name what you like from each; it specifies how to combine those elements\n**3. Forward iterator** — builds the next version from your chosen elements, keeping the history so you can roll back\n\n## Tips\n- Each version must be substantially different, not a minor tweak.\n- Don't ask which number to pick — describe what you like from several and let it combine them.\n- Everything is delivered in one batch: the contact sheet, all 15 versions, and the combined result.\n\n**Tags:** Design, Content Creation\n",
