To translate product requirements into a technical design document, this Skill synthesizes high-level feature specs and research into component contracts, file structure plans, and testing strategies. It enforces boundary-first principles to explicitly map requirements to interfaces.

Boundary-first architecture defines module ownership, allowed dependencies, and out-of-boundary items before detailing internal components. This approach prevents scope creep and coupling issues by establishing strict architectural constraints early in the technical design process.

Mapping engineering requirements to component contracts is achieved by executing discovery-driven synthesis on your codebase. The process records research findings in a log and produces a final design document with traceable connections between requirements, interfaces, and test strategies.

Yes, this approach suits complex integrations and greenfield features by performing full or light discovery including code analysis and external dependency checks. It records these findings in a research log to inform the final technical design and review gate checks.

Type safety constraints are enforced during the technical design generation by explicitly defining component contracts and interface boundaries. The resulting design document and updated spec metadata ensure that downstream engineering tasks adhere to these strict type requirements.

The best way to generate traceable specs is to produce a final design document alongside a research log and updated spec metadata. This ensures every component contract and file structure plan maintains traceability back to the original product requirements for downstream tasks.
