docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md, commits it to git, and hands off to the writing-plans skill. - Use Case: Before building a new feature, use this Skill to interview yourself about requirements, compare architectural options, and produce an approved design doc that implementation can follow. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to brainstorm the design for your new feature before writing any code.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Start by exploring the current project context, then answer clarifying questions one at a time about purpose, constraints, and success criteria. The process proposes 2-3 approaches with trade-offs and presents the design in sections for your approval before any code is written.
Ask one question at a time, preferring multiple-choice formats when possible, and focus on purpose, constraints, and success criteria. This avoids overwhelming stakeholders and surfaces assumptions that open-ended interviews often miss.
Yes, every project goes through the process regardless of perceived simplicity, including single-function utilities and config changes. The design can be just a few sentences for simple work, but it must still be presented and approved.
Validated designs are written to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md and committed to git. After documentation, the workflow transitions to the writing-plans skill to create the implementation plan.
Never within this workflow. The skill enforces a hard gate that blocks invoking implementation skills, writing code, or scaffolding projects until a design has been presented and explicitly approved by the user.
