What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you define the technical architecture of a project by sketching out its components, data flow, and potential challenges before implementation begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Define Solution Boundary: Clearly state what is in and out of scope.
• Component Inventory: List all components, their type (New/Existing/Modified), and responsibilities.
• Data Shape: Sketch the structure of key data entities.
• Integration Points: Map external and internal system connections and their failure modes.
• Data Flow: Visualize how data moves through the system for primary scenarios.
• Identify Hard Parts: Highlight technically challenging aspects and potential approaches.
• Use Case: When starting a new feature, use this Skill to create a clear technical blueprint that aligns the team on the system's structure and identifies potential risks early.
