To convert a PRD into a functional design document, you need an existing 'docs/prd.md' file. The skill translates product requirements into system architecture, data models, and component designs, outputting a structured 'docs/functional-design.md'.

Functional design in software engineering translates the 'what to build' from a Product Requirements Document into 'how to build it'. It details system architecture, data models, component designs, and algorithms for engineers to implement.

A generated technical specification includes structured sections for system architecture, data models, component designs, and algorithms. It references templates and guides to ensure comprehensive functional design documentation.

Yes, you need an existing product requirements document located at 'docs/prd.md' to generate system architecture. The functional design creation process depends entirely on parsing this input file to detail components and data models.

Yes, you can automatically generate component designs from markdown requirements. By processing your 'docs/prd.md' file, the skill creates a detailed 'docs/functional-design.md' covering algorithms and system architecture without manual formatting.

The best way to document software architecture for engineers is to generate a functional design document from your PRD. This bridges product requirements and implementation by detailing data models, algorithms, and component designs in a structured markdown file.
