design-preview

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams validate an implementation approach before writing tests or production code, reducing rework when a scenario's design is unclear or potentially contentious.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Pre-implementation design review: Gathers story requirements, scenario details, load expectations, existing code, ADRs, and acceptance tests to form a grounded design proposal.
• Right-sized design output: Produces concise summaries for simple scenarios and richer artifacts such as method signatures, pseudocode, domain model changes, and flow descriptions for complex scenarios.
• Approval-driven workflow: Captures user approval, supports ADR creation when needed, and escalates rejected designs to a broader architecture discussion.
• Use Case: Before implementing a new filtering scenario in a DDD codebase, use this Skill to present the planned domain changes and port updates so stakeholders can approve the approach early.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run the design-preview skill for your current story and scenario so it can summarize the planned design before any tests are written.
