SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

kiro-spec-design helps teams produce comprehensive, boundary-first technical design documents from high-level specifications, ensuring clear ownership, interfaces, and validation criteria.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate boundary-first design drafts that translate requirements into explicit ownership, interfaces, and dependency contracts.
  • Create a structured design with a File Structure Plan, Architecture decisions, and traceability to numeric requirements.
  • Support discovery (full or lightweight), synthesis, and design-review gate to ensure implementability.

Quick Start

Run the design generator with a spec context to obtain a draft design document ready for review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a technical design document from a specification?▼

To generate a technical design document from a specification, use a boundary-first approach that translates requirements into explicit ownership, interfaces, and dependency contracts. This creates a structured draft ready for review.

What is boundary-first design and when do I need it for software architecture?▼

Boundary-first design defines explicit ownership and dependency contracts before internal logic. It is needed for complex software projects requiring clear interfaces, architecture decisions, and traceability to numeric requirements.

How do I ensure traceability to numeric requirements in a technical design?▼

Ensure traceability to numeric requirements by using a template-driven structure that maps explicit architecture decisions and boundary definitions directly to the original specification criteria.

Can I use this design generation process for complex feature integrations?▼

Yes, this design generation process applies to complex feature integrations and new software projects. It supports full or lightweight discovery and synthesis to ensure implementability through a design-review gate.

What is the best way to structure a design review for a new feature?▼

The best way to structure a design review is to validate the generated draft against a design-review gate. This ensures the File Structure Plan, boundary ownership, and validation criteria satisfy principled design guidance.

Why does my technical design lack clear interface definitions?▼

A technical design lacks clear interface definitions when it skips boundary ownership and dependency contracts. Applying a boundary-first methodology with formal validation criteria resolves this ambiguity.
