What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the risk of wasted implementation work from unvetted technical designs by guiding teams through a structured, collaborative process to turn settled requirements into approved, actionable design artifacts.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Collaborative Architecture Brainstorming: Guides step-by-step discussion of technical approaches, tradeoffs, and architectural choices to surface all key decisions before implementation.
- Enforced Design Approval Gate: Blocks any implementation action until the full design is presented and explicitly approved by the user, preventing work on unvetted plans.
- Automated Design Documentation & Spec Alignment: Generates a structured design.md file and updates existing specs with any new requirements uncovered during the design conversation.
- Use Case: For a new feature with a completed requirements spec, use this Skill to walk through architectural options, get stakeholder sign-off, and produce a complete design document aligned with all settled requirements.
Quick Start
Use the design skill to create a technical design for the new payment processing feature described in your current change's specs.
