design-doc-generate

To generate a design document for a complex software architecture work item, use this Skill to automatically capture key decisions with rationale, define domain models, and outline technical approaches. It structures the document for immediate design review.

A technical specification for high-complexity tasks should include design decisions with rationale, domain models, technical approaches, risk assessments with mitigations, and implementation checklists. This ensures all critical aspects are reviewed before development begins.

You can document design decisions and risk assessments by using this Skill to explicitly record your design choices and justifications. It identifies potential risks and proposes mitigation strategies within a structured template.

Yes, you can create implementation checklists that adhere to existing codebase patterns. The Skill analyzes your project standards and existing codebase patterns to generate a checklist aligned with your established architecture.

You need a structured design document when a high-complexity work item requires formal design review and approval before implementation. It ensures technical approaches, domain models, and risks are thoroughly evaluated.

Yes, this design doc generation approach operates in Validate mode to require design review before implementation. It captures key decisions, defines domain models, and identifies risks specifically for complex work items needing approval.
