aped-design-twice

What problem does it solve?

It prevents premature design lock-in by forcing you to explore two structurally different, viable options before you choose a direction.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Dual design exploration: generates Design A as the obvious first pass and then Design B as a forced alternative on a different structural axis.
• Trade-off matrix: compares complexity, performance, maintainability, migration risk, and team familiarity to make the choice explicit.
• Clear user decision: recommends one option while making it unambiguous that the user selects which design to proceed with.
• Architecture handoff: writes the chosen result into {{OUTPUT_DIR}}/architecture.md (or feeds it to aped-arch) and records the rejected option for future reference.

Quick Start

Run aped-method in your Claude Code project and invoke this skill when you want a second design option for the same requirement.
