X and SpaceX design lead open-sources Stageshow faux UI demo Skills
English text is being prepared.
X and SpaceX design lead Benji Taylor has open-sourced Stageshow skills, used to let agents generate faux UI stills, short animations, and bento grids that look more like real products. Deliverables include SKILL.md and references, a React component kit that can be copied into projects, a large number of gold-standard samples, and a local preview and footage self-check tool film.mjs. The author says the output is ordinary React code rather than unmaintainable images, and states limitations such as checks catching errors but not boring ideas, and most demos still needing several rounds of human feedback.

推荐 X & SpaceXSI 设计负责人的「产品插画品味」Skills
@benjitaylor 开源的 Stageshow skills,把 Benji 手做假 UI(静帧、动效、bento)时的几百个小决定写成工作流、金标样例和拍片自检,专攻营销页/文档 hero 里那种「像真产品、其实是编排过的插画」,静帧、短动画、光标走查、手机触控、bento 网格。
开源项目:https://t.co/osT6EgToQW
Skills 交付物 · Skill(SKILL.md + references/):一条总原则,读起来像真产品,只留观众需要的信息,构图有意图,每个动作有原因;并写明五种翻车(太多 / 太少像线框 / Boxed 整窗塞进卡片 / Flat 权重一样 / Bland 没有 brief 风格)。七步大多在写代码前定完:媒介与尺寸、look、3–5 拍故事、抄最近金标再改成自家产品、真字符串预算、编排循环、拍片对照金标。
· kit/:可拷进项目的 React 部件(Stage、Window、Phone、光标与若干安静零件),自带 CSS,无第三方动画运行时;难做对的东西(数字只滚变化位、卡片飞入槽位、消息从输入框长出等)由 kit 扛。主题/色板/真实用词密度是舞台 props,也可把产品 design token 映射上去,使 demo 贴自家产品而不是通用灰窗。
· examples/:大量金标(hero、bento、表单报错、拖拽重排、图表 scrub、Dynamic Island、上传分享等)和可辨认产品研究(Figma、Linear、Slack、Raycast、Finder、Spotify 等),借交互,不借别人品牌身份。Agent 被要求先 film 最近金标、整文件夹复制再改,而不是瞟一眼重写。
· Playground + film.mjs:本地预览九种风格与坏/好样对;拍片出 contact sheet、量布局、抓一帧跳变。作者强调:只读代码或拍定格看不见中间帧的假;--gate 通过是必要但不充分,人仍要看一遍。
和「让模型直接生成 UI」差在哪 产出是普通 React,可进仓库、可改、可按页面宽度做 compact,而不是一张不可维护的图。演示是脚本化插画:https://t.co/fpSn1oKp9q() 画按下反馈,a.set() 改场景,不自动化真实应用控件。假日文键盘、多光标、Live↔Publish、图表跳动那类片,卖的是编排与循环接缝,不是浏览器录屏。
Benji 怎么验证、怎么看未来 用日常产品小片段(Figma、Gmail、Finder、Spotify 等)对照有/无 skill,自称挂上后 consistently 更好;迭代方式是发现问题就写进 skill 再整轮重跑,而不是手改一次交差。
他判断模型品味未来会变好,部分规则(如红绿灯尺寸)已对更新模型失效,但构图与动效因果仍常要被点醒;因此 skill 可能阶段性有用,做出的 demo 本身又会变成模型可学的小样例,「帮自己过时」被写成可接受的结局。局限也写清了:检查抓错误不抓无聊点子;不会画画;规则是作者品味,不是中性标准;多数 demo 仍要几轮人工反馈。
