design

To create software design artifacts before implementation, use a structured design process that generates specifications for the problem space, requirements, architecture, threat models, and test plans. Initiate the process by providing your problem description text.

A structured software design process includes defining the problem space, gathering requirements, designing architecture, creating a threat model using STRIDE, and formulating a test plan. It uses Mermaid to generate visual diagrams for these specification artifacts.

Yes, you can use a lightweight software design process for smaller projects by selecting the appropriate depth level. The design skill offers three scalable options: lightweight, standard, and full, to accommodate various project scopes and complexities.

To check for drift between your software design and implementation, use the review mode feature. This mode evaluates design effectiveness and performs health checks to ensure your implementation aligns with the original specification artifacts.

Yes, the software design process supports threat modeling by integrating the STRIDE methodology. It automatically produces threat model artifacts alongside architecture diagrams and test plans during the structured design phases.
