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.
