This Skill turns a PRD or rough product idea into a clear design document that explains the chosen approach, the tradeoffs, and the reasons behind them before implementation starts.
Use the to-design skill to draft a design proposal from this PRD and call out the key tradeoffs, compatibility risks, and implementation plan.

To turn a PRD into a design document, you transform the product requirements into a Go-style proposal that includes background, design, rationale, compatibility, and implementation sections while highlighting real decision forks and migration concerns.
A Go-style design proposal is a decision-focused document structured with abstract, background, design, rationale, compatibility, and implementation sections. You need one for software features affecting architecture, APIs, or cross-team coordination before implementation begins.
Plan compatibility and migration risks for a platform refactor by drafting a design document that surfaces real decision forks, alternatives, and migration concerns, ensuring teams align on why the chosen approach wins before implementation starts.
Yes, you can use this format for rough product ideas. The process transforms either a formal PRD or a rough idea into a clear design proposal that explains the chosen approach, tradeoffs, and reasons behind them for architecture decisions.
The rationale section of a software design doc should include the tradeoffs, alternatives, and the specific reasons behind why one approach wins over others, ensuring teams align on the architecture decisions before implementation.
You should avoid writing a detailed design proposal for simple features that do not affect architecture, APIs, compatibility, or cross-team coordination, as the overhead of tradeoff analysis and migration planning provides minimal value for isolated changes.
