FAQPage Schema

How do I turn research findings into design decisions for my codebase?▼

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.

What's the best way to evaluate design trade-offs before implementation?▼

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.

How do I document design decisions so they connect to research?▼

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.

Can I use design synthesis with existing codebases to validate new approaches?▼

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.

What input do I need before synthesizing research into design?▼

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.
