design-system

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of designing robust and maintainable software architectures by providing a structured approach to defining components, their interactions, and key design decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Component Definition: Clearly outlines responsibilities, inputs, and outputs for each system component.
• Diagram Generation: Creates visual representations of system architecture using Mermaid for components and sequences.
• Contract Specification: Defines precise interfaces and communication protocols between modules.
• Design Decision Rationale: Documents and justifies architectural choices, including pattern selection and alternatives considered.
• Use Case: When starting a new microservice, use this Skill to define its boundaries, its API contract with other services, and document the chosen communication pattern (e.g., REST vs. gRPC vs. message queue).

Quick Start

Use the design-system skill to architect a new user authentication service, including component diagrams and API contracts.
