SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a structured process to convert ambiguous requirements into a concrete, boundary-driven technical design with discovery artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Boundary-first design with explicit ownership and interfaces to guide implementation.
  • Stepwise discovery (full or light) to align architecture decisions with steering context.
  • Generation of a design draft and a concrete File Structure Plan to drive downstream tasks.
  • Traceability and review gates to ensure requirements coverage and executability.

Quick Start

Run the kiro-spec-design command for a target feature to begin the design flow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I translate ambiguous requirements into a concrete technical architecture?

To translate ambiguous requirements into technical architecture, apply a boundary-first design process using formal discovery to generate explicit interfaces, ownership boundaries, and a concrete File Structure Plan.

What is boundary-first design and when should I use it for feature planning?

Boundary-first design establishes explicit ownership and interfaces before implementation details. It is used for complex feature design across architecture boundaries to ensure structured alignment and requirements coverage.

How do I ensure requirements traceability during software architecture design?

Ensure requirements traceability during architecture design by enforcing formal review gates and generating discovery artifacts that map concrete technical design outputs back to original requirements for full coverage.

Does this architectural design approach work for complex features spanning multiple system boundaries?

Yes, this architectural design approach explicitly targets complex feature design across architecture boundaries, requiring formal discovery and stepwise synthesis to align decisions with steering context.

What is the best way to structure a design draft and File Structure Plan from feature requirements?

The best way to structure a design draft and File Structure Plan is through stepwise discovery that converts requirements into boundary-driven technical outputs, enforcing review gates to ensure executability.

Do I need formal discovery artifacts for lightweight feature design tasks?

Formal discovery artifacts are required for complex feature design across architecture boundaries, though a light discovery step can be applied to align architecture decisions for less complex tasks.
