SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams design APIs by generating multiple radically different interface designs in parallel, reducing time-to-compare options and avoiding premature commitments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel design generation: spawn 3+ sub-agents, each producing a radically different interface design.
  • Structured design outputs: each design includes an interface signature, a usage example, and a note on what it hides internally.
  • Evaluation and synthesis: compare designs on simplicity, generality, and efficiency, then synthesize recommendations.

Quick Start

Provide three alternative API interface designs for a given module and compare them to guide selection.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate multiple API design options in parallel for comparison?▼

To generate API design options in parallel, this skill spawns 3+ divergent sub-agents with different constraints to produce radically different interface designs simultaneously. Each sub-agent outputs an interface signature, a usage example, and internal hiding notes for direct comparison.

What is parallel interface design and how does it help evaluate API trade-offs?▼

Parallel interface design generates multiple radically different module designs at once to prevent premature commitment to a single API structure. It facilitates design evaluation by presenting each option with signatures and usage examples, then guiding a synthesis and trade-off discussion on simplicity, generality, and efficiency.

Can I use multi-agent workflows to explore different module interface structures?▼

Yes, you can use this multi-agent workflow to explore module interface structures by spawning 3+ sub-agents that each generate a viable but radically different design. This approach is specifically built for module interface exploration and comparing multiple viable designs.

How do I compare multiple interface designs for simplicity, generality, and efficiency?▼

You compare multiple interface designs by evaluating the structured outputs generated by each sub-agent, which include interface signatures and usage examples. The workflow then guides a synthesis and trade-off discussion specifically comparing the designs on simplicity, generality, and efficiency to guide selection.

What is the best way to avoid premature commitment when designing an API?▼

The best way to avoid premature commitment in API design is to generate multiple radically different interface designs in parallel before selection. This workflow gathers requirements, produces 3+ divergent designs with usage examples, and guides a structured synthesis and trade-off discussion.

Do I need to define specific constraints for each sub-agent during API design generation?▼

Yes, the workflow requires spawning 3+ divergent sub-agents with different constraints to generate radically different interface designs. These distinct constraints ensure the parallel designs vary significantly, providing meaningful options for the subsequent design evaluation and synthesis.
