Wireframe Sketch Template

Hand-drawn lo-fi wireframes that look explicitly draft — to invite layout feedback, signal "not shippable", or document IA without committing to visual design.

⚠️ Pick the Skeleton FIRST

The biggest failure mode of this skill: model inherits the brush strokes (wobble, dashed, handwriting) but writes the wrong document structure — e.g. producing 3 isolated app screens when a multi-screen flow doc was needed, or stuffing a sitemap with editorial figures.

Before you write a single line, declare in your reply which skeleton you're using and why. Match user's words to one of:

User says	Skeleton	Why
报纸 / 杂志 / landing / 官网 / brochure / 单页 / 一篇 / 简报 / 海报式文档 / one-pager / editorial	A. Single-Page Editorial	One long page, sections stack, content-dense
App / 小程序 / 移动端 / 手机 / 桌面应用 / SaaS 流程 / 用户路径 / 注册流 / 下单流 / 多屏 / 多页 / 注册 / 登录 / 引导 / 设置 / Tab / 表单流	B. App Multi-Screen Flow	Multiple screens, navigation, states, triggers
信息架构 / IA / sitemap / 站点地图 / 流程图 / 关系图 / 节点图 / 数据流 / 状态机 / 权限矩阵	C. IA / Sitemap Diagram	Nodes + edges, no actual screens
不明 / 用户没说 / 都行	ask the user before picking — don't default	—

If the user gave a topic but no skeleton hint, ask which one. Picking wrong = doing the work twice.

Skeleton A — Single-Page Editorial

foolscap-wireframe.html is the reference for this skeleton. Use when the artifact is a single scrollable page (newspaper, magazine spread, landing page wireframe, brochure, single-page PRD illustration).

Required sections (in order, can drop 1–2 but keep the rhythm):

1. Masthead / banner — title, issue/version, date
2. Hero feature — one big lead block with headline + intro + hand-drawn illustration placeholder
3. 3–5 content sections — each with its own h2, mix of text figures and sketch illustrations
4. Sidebar / brief / list block — short items, dense type, breaks the rhythm
5. CTA / signup / footer

Density: aim for the foolscap reference's content-per-square-inch — sparse single-page wireframes feel like a stub, not a draft.

---

Skeleton B — App Multi-Screen Flow ⛔ HARD MINIMUMS

foolscap-wireframe.html is not the reference for this skeleton — only borrow its SVG filters, font stack, and dashed-cell aesthetic. The document structure must be assembled from the checklist below.

Required sections (MUST all be present — page is incomplete otherwise)

1. Cover — app name + version + role/persona + 1-line scope ("MVP / 内测 / v0.3 / 仅记账,不含理财")
2. Sitemap / nav diagram — visual tree or grid showing all screens and their relationship. Not a list — an actual diagram with boxes + lines.
3. 6–8+ core screens as figure blocks. For a 记账 app that's at minimum: 启动/欢迎 → 首页(概览) → 记一笔(金额→分类→备注→保存) → 账单详情 → 月度统计 → 分类管理 → 预算设置 → 我的/设置. 3 screens is not a wireframe doc, it's a sketch sample.
4. At least 1 flow arrow diagram showing user path across screens (e.g. "首页 → 点'+' → 记一笔 → 保存 → toast → 回首页"). Don't just put a single ↓ between screens — write the trigger on the arrow.
5. At least 1 state variant for each screen that has state: empty / loading / error / success. Pick the screens where it matters (list page → empty state; form → error state).
6. End matter — open questions / TBD list / version log / next-step decisions to make

Per-screen requirements

Every screen block must have:

• Figure number — 图 02 / Fig. 03, sequential, referenced from flow diagrams
• One-line responsibility — "记一笔 · 从主页点'+'进入,保存后弹 toast 并返回主页"
• Trigger annotations — what entry points lead here, what exits go where
• Marginalia — at least 1 hand-written side note per non-trivial screen (constraint, edge case, "TBD",未决问题)

Layout

• Vertical stack of screens with explicit arrow + trigger label between each (not a passive ↓)
• Or horizontal flow strip with screens in left-to-right order — works well for linear flows like onboarding/checkout
• Don't put screens in a grid with no flow indication — that's a screen gallery, not a flow doc

Content density red lines

• < 5 screens → reject yourself, ask user for more flows or downgrade scope honestly
• No sitemap → reject yourself, the doc is unreadable without it
• No state variants → at least mark the empty/error spots even if you don't draw them ("空状态:见图 04a / TBD")
• No marginalia anywhere → you copied the brush but not the language; go back and annotate

---

Skeleton C — IA / Sitemap Diagram

Pure structural document — no real screens, just node-edge diagrams of information architecture, navigation, data flow, or state machines.

Required sections:

1. Title + legend — what the boxes mean, what the line types mean (solid = direct nav, dashed = conditional, double = data binding)
2. Main diagram — the tree/graph itself, central, large
3. Per-node mini-spec — for non-obvious nodes, 1–3 lines of what lives there
4. Permission / role matrix if applicable
5. Open questions at the bottom

Wobble + handwriting still apply. Box-and-line layout, lots of whitespace, single accent color for the "current path" / "default" highlight.

---

Marginalia Language (skeletons B & C must use; A optional)

Marginalia is what separates a real lo-fi wireframe from a "high-fi draft pretending to be lo-fi". Use these moves:

Mark	When	How
Side note	Constraint or rationale	<aside class="margin"> in handwritten font, accent color, pulled into the margin
Circle + arrow	Calling out a specific element	SVG <circle> + <path> with filter:url(#wobble), accent stroke
TBD / ?	Unresolved decision	Handwritten "TBD" in accent color, sometimes inside a wobbly circle
Strikethrough	Old idea kept for context	text-decoration:line-through + slight rotation transform:rotate(-1deg)
Underline + !	Important / must-discuss	Wavy underline SVG below the term
Numbered call-out	Reference into a legend table below	Circled digit in accent color, with <ol> legend at section end

Marginalia ink color = the one accent (template uses bright blue). Body ink stays monochrome.

---

Hand-drawn Marks

Lo-fi wireframes lean heavily on drawn-in-place marks, not real icons or photos. Build a small library at top of file:

• X-out box — image placeholder: <rect> + two crossing <line>, all under filter:url(#wobble)
• Wavy-line text — copy placeholder: 3–5 <path> of horizontal squiggles at decreasing widths
• Stick icons — nav icons as 8–16 px SVG paths (house, plus, chart, gear), 1.4 px stroke + wobble
• Loading spinner — wobbly circle with a gap, no animation needed for static deliverable
• Avatar circle — circle + initials in handwritten font
• Chart bones — wobbly bars / dots / lines, no axis labels beyond figure number

Don't import an icon font, lucide, heroicons, etc. Real icons fight the wobble and instantly break the lo-fi register.

---

Required Reading

Read this SKILL.md first, end to end. Don't open foolscap-wireframe.html until you've picked a skeleton.

Then:

• Skeleton A → read foolscap fully, both for structure and brush vocabulary
• Skeleton B → open foolscap ONLY to copy: the <filter> SVG turbulence values, the dotted background pattern, the dashed/wavy divider paths, the handwritten font stack. Do not copy the masthead/hero/long-reads structure — wrong skeleton.
• Skeleton C → same as B, brush-only extraction

Never copy foolscap's placeholder editorial copy, figure captions, or class names wholesale.

---

Design Strategy

Lock the scope of fidelity at the top:

• pure structure (boxes + labels only, no real type beyond field names) → maximum wobble, sparsest content
• structure + sample content (placeholder headlines, real labels, fake numbers like ¥3,280) → moderate wobble, more density
• structure + annotations (arrows, marginalia, "TBD", trigger labels) → wobble + marginalia + accent-color callouts

Pick one and hold the line across the whole doc — mixing fidelities reads as inconsistent. Skeleton B almost always wants tier 3.

---

Layout Bias

Prefer:

• pure white paper background — no yellow legal-pad pretense
• monochrome ink (black + 2–3 grays), at most one accent (bright blue or red) for marginalia and "current/default" highlight
• one handwritten CJK font (Ma Shan Zheng / Long Cang) + one handwritten Latin font (Caveat / Kalam)
• mono stack (uppercase, tight letterspacing) for "labels" / "figure numbers" / "callouts"
• dashed or wavy dividers between sections — never solid clean rules
• consistent wobble intensity — don't dial it up and down per element; one global filter + maybe one "stronger" for tiny shapes
• numbered figures ("图 01", "Fig. 02") for everything referenced from elsewhere in the doc
• generous side margins to make room for marginalia

Avoid:

• real production icons or polished SVG illustrations (they fight the sketch frame)
• color photos (use sketch placeholders — X-out boxes or wavy-line text)
• emoji
• mixing wireframe with high-fidelity components on the same page
• forcing the wobble filter on every element until the page becomes noisy — wobble is a seasoning, not a wash
• 单一 ↓ 当作 flow 注释 — write the trigger on the arrow
• 在 App 场景里只画 3 个孤立屏并交付 — that's a screen sample, not a wireframe doc

---

Anti-patterns (self-check before delivering)

• App 场景但没 sitemap → reject, add one
• App 场景但 < 5 屏 → reject, expand or downgrade scope honestly
• 屏与屏只用 ↓ 连接没 trigger label → annotate every arrow
• 通篇没有任何 marginalia / TBD / 圈划 → 你只继承了笔触没继承语言,补
• 用了 lucide/heroicons/emoji/真实 icon font → 拆掉换 SVG path 简笔
• wobble 强度乱跳 → 统一到 1–2 个 filter id
• 没有 figure 编号但流程图里要引用 → 加编号
• 文案太"成品"(完整营销 copy / 准确产品文案) → 退回到 placeholder ("功能 A 的一句话说明")
• 用了亮黄色 legal-pad 底 → 改回纯白纸
• 配色超过 1 个 accent → 砍

Platform / Size

Renders as a web page, typically captured as a long screenshot for embedding in PRDs / Notion / Confluence / 飞书 docs. Not designed for runtime interaction — it's a static deliverable that looks hand-drawn.

For Skeleton B, page width 720–960 px works well (matches reading width in doc tools). For Skeleton A, 960–1100 px (editorial format). For Skeleton C, often wider (1200+) to fit sitemaps.
