SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the risk of launching digital products with disorganized structure, unclear navigation, and broken user flows that require costly rework after visual design is complete, ensuring the product's foundation is user-centered and scalable from the start.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Information Architecture Planning: Define content hierarchy and page structure for new or existing digital products, including documentation sites, SaaS platforms, and consumer web apps.
  • Navigation & User Flow Mapping: Outline primary, secondary, and mobile navigation systems, plus critical user paths like onboarding, task completion, and content discovery.
  • Scalable Structure Design: Create URL strategies and content growth plans that accommodate expanding content and features over time without requiring full architectural overhauls.
  • Use Case Example: Use this Skill when building a new e-commerce help center to map out all support article sections, navigation links, and user paths to find troubleshooting content before writing any code.

Quick Start

Use the design-architecture skill to map the full site structure, navigation system, and user flows for the new project management tool I'm building for freelance teams.
