Wiretext
ASCII wireframe tool with an MCP server for Claude Code. Generate and edit wireframes from the terminal using primitives (box, text, line, arrow) and components (button, input, select, table, modal, navbar, tabs, card, etc.), then fine-tune in the browser via an editable URL. Use when the user wants to wireframe a page or section before building, sketch out layout structure, plan content hierarchy, or rapidly iterate on a layout without committing to code or Figma. Triggers: wireframe, wiretext, sketch layout, ascii wireframe, plan a page, mock up, low fidelity, layout sketch.From its SKILL.md

Wiretext
ASCII wireframe tool with MCP server integration for Claude Code. Generate and edit wireframes directly from the terminal, then fine-tune in the browser.
MCP Setup (Claude Code)
claude mcp add wiretext -- npx -y @wiretext/mcp
MCP Tools
- create_wireframe — generate an editable wiretext URL from wire objects
- render_wireframe — render wire objects as ASCII art inline
Primitives
box, text, line, arrow
Components
button, input, select, checkbox, radio, toggle, table, modal, browser, card, navbar, tabs, progress, icon, image, alert, avatar, divider, breadcrumb, list, stepper, rating, skeleton
Workflow
- Tell Claude Code to wireframe a section/page using wiretext MCP
- CC generates wire objects and returns editable wiretext URL
- Open URL in browser, fine-tune layout and components
- Use wireframe as reference to build in code
Notes
- Use for rapid wireframing before building in code or Figma
- Focus on content hierarchy and structure, not pixel precision
- Pairs well with section-by-section page builds
