SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill performs an interactive, focused quality review of technical design documents to determine whether a feature design is ready for implementation, highlighting the highest-impact concerns and providing a clear GO/NO-GO decision.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Focused Critical Review: Identifies up to three critical issues that materially affect integration, maintainability, or fulfillment of requirements.
  • Traceable Findings: Links issues to requirements and cites evidence from design.md and steering documents for auditability.
  • Interactive Remediation: Engages the designer with clarifying questions, improvement suggestions, and next-step task recommendations for both GO and NO-GO outcomes.
  • Use Case: Run before implementation to catch architectural misalignments, missing requirements traceability, or maintainability risks for a feature-level design.

Quick Start

Run the kiro-validate-design skill for the feature payments to perform an interactive design review and receive a GO/NO-GO decision with actionable next steps.

FAQPage Schema
What is technical design validation for implementation readiness?

Technical design validation reviews design.md and spec.json against requirements to determine implementation readiness, identifying critical architectural misalignments and providing a GO/NO-GO decision.

How do I review a technical design document for requirements traceability?

Load spec.json, requirements.md, and design.md to perform an interactive quality review, linking findings to requirements and citing evidence from steering documents for auditability.

Can I get actionable next steps after a design review go-no-go decision?

Yes, after a GO/NO-GO decision, the review engages the designer with clarifying questions, improvement suggestions, and next-step task recommendations to address identified issues.

Does the architecture review limit the number of critical issues reported?

Yes, the architecture review limits critical issues to three, focusing on the highest-impact concerns that materially affect integration, maintainability, or requirement fulfillment.

What files do I need for a feature-level design review?

You need spec.json, requirements.md, design.md, and core steering files loaded into the context to execute an interactive spec-validation and receive actionable feedback.

Why focus on up to three critical issues during spec validation?

Limiting critical issues to three during spec validation ensures focused remediation on architectural misalignments and maintainability risks without overwhelming the designer with minor findings.
