SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It translates PRD requirements into actionable design artifacts, including data models, components, and flows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • System View & Data Models: Mermaid diagrams and TypeScript interfaces for data models.
  • Component Design: Clear responsibilities for UI/CLI, service, and data layers.
  • Use Case: When implementing core features, produce a design blueprint to guide development.

Quick Start

Use the functional-design skill to draft docs/functional-design.md from PRD and architecture decisions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a PRD into a functional design document with system diagrams?▼

Functional design transforms product requirements into actionable artifacts by generating Mermaid system diagrams, TypeScript data models, and component specifications from your PRD, producing a structured design doc that guides implementation.

What should a functional design document include?▼

A functional design document specifies system architecture via Mermaid diagrams, data models as TypeScript interfaces, component responsibilities across UI/CLI and service layers, ER diagrams, API definitions, and algorithm specifications aligned to your PRD.

Can I use an existing PRD to generate a design, or do I need to create one?▼

You can reuse an existing product requirements document or create a new one using the provided template and guide; the Skill generates design artifacts from either approach, outputting results to docs/functional-design.md.

What output formats does functional design produce?▼

Functional design produces standardized outputs including Mermaid diagrams for system views, TypeScript interfaces for data models, ER diagrams for database schema, API sections, component designs, and algorithm specifications in a single markdown file.

When should I create a functional design before implementation?▼

Generate a functional design blueprint when implementing core features to translate requirements into concrete architecture, data models, and component responsibilities that guide development and prevent rework.
