What problem does it solve?

Manually creating design documents that adhere to project conventions and AILANG's AI-first principles is time-consuming and prone to inconsistency. This Skill automates the creation and management of design documents, ensuring clarity and alignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template-Based Creation: Generate new design documents with a pre-filled, AI-first aligned structure, ensuring consistency and adherence to best practices.
  • Lifecycle Management: Move design docs from "planned" to "implemented" with automatic status updates and implementation report templates, streamlining project tracking.
  • AI-First Alignment: Guides the design process to ensure features reduce syntactic noise, preserve semantic clarity, increase determinism, and lower token cost, optimizing for AI development.
  • Use Case: When a user asks to "create a design doc for better error messages," this Skill will create a structured document, guide through the AI-first alignment check, and help track its lifecycle from planning to implementation.

What's the best way to ensure design docs follow AI-first principles?▼

This Skill embeds AI-first alignment checks into the design process, guiding features to reduce syntactic noise, preserve semantic clarity, increase determinism, and lower token cost. Templates enforce these principles during document creation.

Can I track design documents through their lifecycle from planning to implementation?▼

Yes. Design Doc Creator manages lifecycle transitions by moving docs from 'planned' to 'implemented' status with automatic updates and implementation report templates, streamlining project tracking without manual status changes.

How do I create a new design document for a feature quickly?▼

Run the create_planned_doc script with a feature identifier and target version. The Skill generates a pre-structured document with proper formatting, reference placeholders, and version details ready for editing and team collaboration.

What information do I need to provide when creating a design doc?▼

The Skill prompts for key details including priority level, target version, and timeline dates. It auto-detects version information from CHANGELOG.md and performs related-document searches to populate references, minimizing manual input.

Does this work with existing project documentation workflows?▼

Design Doc Creator integrates with projects using design_docs directories and CHANGELOG.md version tracking. It requires basic script execution capability and works within projects already following structured documentation conventions.
