Explore user intent, requirements, and design before implementation. Use before any creative work or feature build.

The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Brainstorming

Turn ideas into fully formed designs before writing code.

Hard gate

Do not write code, scaffold projects, or invoke implementation skills until a design is presented and approved.

Process

  1. Explore the current project context.
  2. Ask clarifying questions one at a time.
  3. Propose 2-3 approaches with trade-offs and a recommendation.
  4. Present the design and get approval.
  5. Write the design doc to docs/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md.
  6. Run a self-review for placeholders, contradictions, ambiguity, and scope.
  7. Ask the user to review the spec.
  8. Transition to implementation via a planning step.

Principles

  • One question at a time.
  • Prefer multiple choice when possible.
  • YAGNI: remove unnecessary features.
  • Explore alternatives.
  • Design for small, well-bounded units.

Design doc sections

  • Problem and goals
  • Scope
  • Architecture
  • Components and interfaces
  • Data flow
  • Error handling
  • Testing approach

Notes

Even simple projects need a short design. The design can be a few sentences, but it must be explicit and approved.
