create-solution-design

To create a solution design, you capture requirements, explore the codebase, identify affected areas, and validate the approach. This produces a formal design document outlining the approach, dependencies, and acceptance criteria to inform implementation.

Planning architecture for GitHub issues involves a structured workflow of requirements capture, codebase exploration, risk assessment, and validation. This ensures alignment, risk awareness, and clear scope before any code is written.

To identify affected codebase areas, you explore the project structure during the solution design phase. This guides the identification of dependencies and affected components, ensuring clear scope and reducing rework before implementation begins.

Yes, solution design planning applies directly to GitHub issues and tasks. It enforces capturing requirements and producing a formal design document that can be reviewed and used by existing workflows to guide implementation.

Producing a pre-implementation design document ensures alignment, risk awareness, and clear scope before coding. It improves reviewability by providing reusable templates and a formal structure, which reduces rework during implementation.
