What problem does it solve?
This skill prevents wasted engineering effort by enforcing a rigorous design-first process, ensuring that every feature or change is scoped, reviewed, and approved by an owner before any implementation begins.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Design-First Guardrails: Implements a hard gate that blocks code generation until a design spec is authored and approved.
- Provenance Tracking: Supports multiple design sources, from original authorship to confirming existing backlog items or architectural decisions.
- Use Case: Before building a new authentication module, use this skill to document the architecture, trade-offs, and security requirements, ensuring the owner signs off on the approach before a single line of code is written.
Quick Start
Initiate the design process for your current feature by asking the agent to walk you through the design flow and help you draft the initial specification.
