To generate a technical design document, you can use this Skill to automatically create a `design.md` file that details architecture decisions, data flow, file modifications, and testing strategies based on your project proposals and specifications.

A software architecture decision document should capture architectural choices, alternatives, and technical rationale. This Skill automates this by documenting choices and listing necessary file creations, modifications, and deletions for the proposed feature.

You document file modifications and data flow by outlining the implementation strategy in a technical design document. This Skill reads your proposals and specs to produce a `design.md` artifact that tracks these changes and details the data flow.

This technical design generator operates within the openspec framework. It requires reading existing proposals and specs to produce the `design.md` artifacts and needs adherence to your project conventions to articulate the technical rationale clearly.

You need a technical design document before development to ensure consistency and clarity. It clearly documents architectural decisions, data flow, and file changes, ensuring that the implementation strategy is thoroughly outlined and reviewed before coding begins.

Yes, you can use this Skill to track file changes and document testing strategies. It generates technical design documents that explicitly list modifications, creations, and deletions while detailing the testing strategies for your software architecture.
