SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create clear, implementation-ready design documents from existing requirements and research, bridging the gap between what needs to be built and how to build it.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-generates design documents from .specs/<spec-name>/requirements.md and research.md to accelerate planning.
  • Architectural guidance with diagrams and interfaces to outline components and data flows.
  • Use Case: Given a spec named "order-processing", generate a design that maps requirements to modules and interactions.

Quick Start

Provide the spec name to generate a design document based on its requirements and research.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a software design document from existing requirements?

To generate a design document from requirements, you need a structured spec with requirements.md and research.md files. This skill automates reading those inputs to produce an implementation-ready design document with architecture diagrams and interfaces.

What is the best way to turn project requirements into architecture diagrams?

Turning requirements into architecture diagrams is best handled by automating design document generation from a spec directory. The tool reads your requirements and research files to outline components and map data flows directly into the design.

How to create implementation-ready design documents for software projects?

Creating implementation-ready design documents involves mapping project requirements to modules and interactions. By processing your spec's requirements and research files, this tool bridges the gap between what needs building and the architectural guidance for how to build it.

Do I need research files to generate a software architecture design?

Yes, generating a software architecture design requires a research.md file alongside requirements.md in your spec directory. The design document generation relies on both files to accurately map requirements to implementation details and data flows.

Can I auto-generate module interfaces from project requirements?

Yes, you can auto-generate module interfaces from project requirements by providing the spec name. The tool reads the requirements and research files to produce a structured design document detailing component interactions and interfaces.
