What problem does it solve?
Designing a new Cells feature requires a consistent, detailed plan covering architecture, data flow, file modifications, and testing. This Skill automatically produces that design documentation, ensuring alignment with official Cells conventions and reducing manual effort.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Registry Loading: Retrieves relevant skill and convention files from Engram or local registry.
- Dependency Retrieval: Pulls proposal and spec artifacts for the target change.
- Codebase Analysis: Inspects the actual project code to identify affected components and patterns.
- Design Document Generation: Creates a structured design.md with architecture decisions, data flow diagrams, file change tables, and testing strategy.
- Artifact Persistence: Saves the design to Engram, Openspec, or returns it inline based on the configured storage mode.
- Use Case: When a developer asks “design the solution for change X”, the Skill delivers a complete design ready for review and implementation.
