design-an-interface

Comparing multiple API design options prevents locking in a suboptimal first-iteration design, avoiding technical debt and costly refactors. Generating radical interface variations simultaneously helps evaluate trade-offs like simplicity and implementation efficiency upfront.

To generate different interface designs, spawn multiple sub-agents to create distinct approaches in parallel, such as a minimal single-method design and a highly flexible extensible design, then evaluate them against software design criteria like module depth.

Evaluating software architecture trade-offs requires comparing generated interface designs against criteria including simplicity, general-purpose flexibility, implementation efficiency, and module depth to identify the most suitable option for your component.

Yes, interface design comparison applies to both new and refactored components. Generating radical alternative designs helps assess whether your current API architecture meets general-purpose flexibility and simplicity criteria or needs restructuring.

Spawn sub-agents for interface planning when you need to avoid suboptimal first-iteration design choices for software modules. This parallel design generation process ensures you evaluate multiple radically different approaches before committing to an architecture.
