SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires Claude Code, Agent tool, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of technical design documents from Product Requirements Documents (PRD), providing a structured overview of system architecture and design considerations for AI-driven projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Design Document Generation: Automatically generates technical design documents from PRDs.
  • Codebase Exploration: Spawns agents to explore codebase architecture and patterns.
  • Technical Research: Conducts research on tech stack, best practices, and security considerations.
  • System Architecture Diagrams: Creates ASCII diagrams of system architecture.
  • API Contract Definition: Defines request/response schemas for APIs.
  • Database Schema Design: Outlines new tables and schema changes.
  • Sequence Diagrams: Generates sequence diagrams for critical user flows.
  • Component Hierarchy: Defines component hierarchy for frontend systems.
  • Data Flow Diagrams: Provides data flow diagrams.
  • Technical Decisions Documentation: Records key technical decisions.
  • Non-Functional Requirements: Documents performance, security, scalability, and monitoring requirements.
  • Migration Strategy: Provides a migration strategy for existing features.
  • Generate Design Doc: Outputs the final design document as a Markdown file.

Quick Start

To generate a design document for a feature, run the following command:

/prp-core:design "Feature Name"

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

To generate a technical design document from a PRD, you can automate the process by spawning parallel agents to explore your codebase, research technical architecture, and output a structured Markdown file detailing system design and API contracts.

Can I automatically explore my codebase to define system architecture for AI development?▼

Yes, you can automatically explore codebase architecture and patterns by spawning agents to analyze your existing code, which helps define the system architecture and technical decisions for your AI development project.

Do I need Claude Code and the Agent tool to automate technical research for system design?▼

Yes, you need Claude Code and the Agent tool to automate technical research for system design, as these dependencies enable the parallel processing required to investigate tech stacks, best practices, and security considerations.

What's the best way to document API contracts and database schema changes for new features?▼

The best way to document API contracts and database schema changes is to automate design document generation, which defines request/response schemas, outlines new tables, and records technical decisions in a single structured Markdown file.

How does automated system architecture diagram generation work for technical documentation?▼

Automated system architecture diagram generation works by translating your technical architecture and critical user flows into ASCII diagrams and sequence diagrams, providing visual data flow and component hierarchy representations within the design document.

When do I need a migration strategy included in my technical design document?▼

You need a migration strategy in your technical design document when extending existing features, ensuring that schema changes, non-functional requirements, and data flow updates are systematically recorded to guide implementation.
