design-synthesis

Design synthesis translates research into implementation approaches by scanning your codebase for patterns and constraints, then generating multiple design alternatives with trade-offs evaluated against your specific context. The output is a structured design document grounding each choice in research.

Synthesizing research into design compares two to three approaches by analyzing your codebase patterns, documenting the trade-offs of each, and selecting the best approach with explicit rationale. This bridges research findings directly to planning phases.

Research synthesis produces a design document that ties each decision back to research artifacts and codebase constraints discovered during investigation. Templates structure the output so rationale and trade-offs are explicit and traceable.

Yes. The Skill scans your existing codebase to surface patterns and constraints, then generates design alternatives that account for your current architecture. This ensures new approaches are grounded in both research and your implementation reality.

Ingest research artifacts—findings, requirements, or constraints—and provide access to your codebase. The Skill performs light scanning to identify patterns, then generates design approaches with trade-offs ready for downstream planning.
