SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps turn product requirements and UX into a coherent technical architecture without losing key constraints, trade-offs, and validation requirements as implementation proceeds.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PRD/UX-to-architecture leadership: Guides how to convert product intent into concrete architecture decisions and implementation direction.
  • Actionable, boring-by-default trade-offs: Favors stable, productive engineering choices and clearly documents trade-offs instead of vague verdicts.
  • Menu-driven alignment workflow: Supports an architecture-first workflow, including aligning PRD/UX/architecture with epics and stories and capturing implementation readiness signals.

Use case example: When you have a PRD and UX mockups but need a clear system architecture plan and decision log to prevent downstream agents from making conflicting changes.

Quick Start

Ask Winston to architect the system for your feature and keep the PRD, UX, and implementation readiness aligned.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a PRD and UX mockups into technical architecture decisions?

To convert PRD and UX into technical architecture, this skill guides you through scoping features, documenting trade-offs, and creating a decision log that keeps implementation aligned with product intent.

What is the best way to align architecture plans with AI coding agents?

The best way to align architecture with AI coding agents is using a menu-driven workflow that captures implementation readiness signals and prevents downstream agents from making conflicting code changes.

Can I use this skill for feature scoping and architecture planning in the same repository?

Yes, you can use this skill for feature scoping and architecture planning in the same repository. It supports architecture-to-implementation alignment specifically for AI coding agents working on shared codebases.

How does pragmatic system design handle trade-offs during architecture planning?

Pragmatic system design handles trade-offs by favoring stable, productive engineering choices and clearly documenting them instead of providing vague verdicts, ensuring constraints are maintained during implementation.

When do I need a decision log for system design?

You need a decision log for system design when you have product requirements and UX mockups but lack a clear architecture plan, risking that downstream agents make conflicting changes during implementation.
