name	twenty-partner-design-doc
description	Use when turning a qualified Twenty lead — a call-summary brief plus any client braindump/docs — into a partner brief a partner can scope and quote from. Trigger when pointed at a lead folder (e.g. partners-experience/<LEAD>/) and asked to "draft a design doc", "create a partner brief", "translate this into Twenty terms", "scope this for a partner", or "prep the partner handoff". Default output is zero-inference (only what the client said; empty sections get a placeholder). Pass --full for inference mode. Chains after twenty-lead-intro-call-summary.

twenty-partner-design-doc

Turn a qualified lead's materials into a design doc: a translation of the customer's needs into Twenty terms that an implementation partner reads to scope and quote the work.

The doctrine — what to produce, the 12-section structure, the rules, the verification process, and the common mistakes — lives in design-doc-doctrine.md in this folder. Read it and follow it. This file is only the Claude Code wrapper: how to gather inputs, which tools to use for each step, and where to save.

Inputs

• A lead folder (e.g. partners-experience/<LEAD>/) containing a twenty-lead-intro-call-summary output plus any braindump / docs / notes.
• If there is a raw transcript but no brief, run twenty-lead-intro-call-summary first — this skill chains after it.
• Read everything. Convert .docx with textutil -convert txt "<file>" -output /tmp/out.txt (macOS) or an equivalent extractor.

Default: zero-inference partner brief

The default output is a zero-inference partner brief: only what the client explicitly said, nothing invented.

• 🔮 inf. never appears. If you feel the urge to use it, that line should not exist.
• Required sections with no grounded content get: > ⬜ Not discussed on call — needs input before this section can be filled.
• Data-model table: no Source column; only rows for objects the client named; only fields the client named; — for empty cells.
• Target length: 1 page. Each section 1–5 lines max.
• Step 2: extract stated facts only. Step 4: verify only sections with grounded content.
• Step 7 self-check: 🔮 inf. anywhere = failure (remove the whole inference); Source column = failure; doc >2 pages = warning.
• Save as YYYY-MM-DD-<lead>-partner-brief.md.
• See "Default behavior" in design-doc-doctrine.md for the full rules.

Mode: --full (inference-enabled design doc)

Pass --full when discovery is complete and a richer inferred model is useful. Enables 🔮 inf. tags, adds the Source column to the data model, fills gaps with inferences, and allows longer output. Save as YYYY-MM-DD-<lead>-design-doc.md. See "Full mode" in design-doc-doctrine.md.

Steps

1. Gather — read all source materials in full. Coverage is the point.
2. Extract needs, grounded — facts vs inferences ((inf.)); never invent. Per the doctrine.
3. Draft the doc in the doctrine's 12-section structure, applying every rule in the doctrine.
4. Verify load-bearing claims live — use WebFetch against the Twenty doc map in the doctrine's Verification section before asserting any capability. Build the §11 appendix as you go.
5. Reconcile discrepancies — sources that disagree (call vs braindump; a name differing across/within sources) get flagged both ways, never silently resolved.
6. Resolve ❓ with the operator — after a full v1 draft, use AskUserQuestion to ask the Twenty team member the unknowns a Twenty insider can answer; leave customer-facing unknowns as ❓. If running autonomously (no operator — a subagent/batch run), skip the questions and leave every unknown as ❓ in the body and §11.
7. Self-check, then save — scan the output for: an em dash; a bare ~; first-person voice outside customer quotes; local file paths; a header that isn't the four-field table; any flag that isn't one of the three canonical emoji-and-text pairs (**❓ open**, **⚠️ heavy**, **🛑 blocker**) — a stray 🟥, 🚩, 🚨, ✅, 🔮, or a naked emoji without its text label is wrong (in default mode 🔮 inf. is a failure, not just a format issue; remove the whole inference); a Data-model table that has a Source column (default mode — remove it; only --full mode uses it); a section that just says "X was not named" / "no automations named" / a "left out on purpose" list — cut it, unknowns go in Open questions; any bare §N reference instead of a functional anchor link [§N](#n-section-slug); renumbering gaps (e.g. cut a section but kept the old numbers around it); a section that is mostly paragraphs where bullets or a table would do — exception: Open questions stays a numbered list; build / runtime / SDK mechanics that don't change the quote (Docker version, OAuth flavour, auto-system relations, env-var names, CI/CD workflow detail); a point repeated across sections instead of a [§N](...) cross-reference; a leftover glossary / domain-language section; any capability claim stated as fact without a References source. Fix, then save to the lead folder as (or in mode).

Worked example

Reference: partners-experience/TSF/2026-05-26-tsf-design-doc.md shows the target coverage, flag discipline, and §11 verification appendix. It predates the current concision / table-header / no-glossary / no-em-dash rules, so where its formatting differs, follow this doctrine over the example.

Notes

• Chain: twenty-lead-intro-call-summary → twenty-partner-design-doc; the output feeds the opportunity→partner handover (designDocStatus / designDocUrl).
• Phase 2: design-doc-doctrine.md is written to be portable. A future defineSkill in this app (a sibling *.skill.ts in src/skills/) would import it as its content, driving an in-product agent — with a verify logic-function tool replacing the WebFetch step, and a Workflow Action triggering it when sales toggles partnerEligible. Keep doctrine changes in that file so both the Claude Code skill and the defineSkill stay in sync.
