SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It translates PRD requirements into actionable design artifacts, including data models, components, and flows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • System View & Data Models: Mermaid diagrams and TypeScript interfaces for data models.
  • Component Design: Clear responsibilities for UI/CLI, service, and data layers.
  • Use Case: When implementing core features, produce a design blueprint to guide development.

Quick Start

Use the functional-design skill to draft docs/functional-design.md from PRD and architecture decisions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a PRD into a functional design document with system diagrams?

Functional design transforms product requirements into actionable artifacts by generating Mermaid system diagrams, TypeScript data models, and component specifications from your PRD, producing a structured design doc that guides implementation.

What should a functional design document include?

A functional design document specifies system architecture via Mermaid diagrams, data models as TypeScript interfaces, component responsibilities across UI/CLI and service layers, ER diagrams, API definitions, and algorithm specifications aligned to your PRD.

Can I use an existing PRD to generate a design, or do I need to create one?

You can reuse an existing product requirements document or create a new one using the provided template and guide; the Skill generates design artifacts from either approach, outputting results to docs/functional-design.md.

What output formats does functional design produce?

Functional design produces standardized outputs including Mermaid diagrams for system views, TypeScript interfaces for data models, ER diagrams for database schema, API sections, component designs, and algorithm specifications in a single markdown file.

When should I create a functional design before implementation?

Generate a functional design blueprint when implementing core features to translate requirements into concrete architecture, data models, and component responsibilities that guide development and prevent rework.
