What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of comprehensive application design documents, eliminating the manual effort of outlining architecture, features, and business logic. It performs deep codebase analysis and interactive Q&A to provide a high-level, technology-agnostic overview, crucial for aligning stakeholders and guiding development.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Codebase Deep Dive: Analyzes application structure, user flows, data models, business logic, and integrations from existing code.
• Interactive Q&A: Gathers critical business context, project stage, user roles, core journeys, and unique value proposition.
• Comprehensive Design Document: Generates a Markdown document covering introduction, core features, user experience, system architecture, and business logic.
• Project Stage Assessment: Updates project status and development guidelines based on the application's current stage (Pre-MVP, MVP, Production, Enterprise).
• Use Case: When starting a new project or a major feature, activate this skill to generate an app-design-document.mdc that clearly articulates the application's purpose, core features, and user experience for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
