# Redesign From First Principles When integrating a change, don't bolt it onto the existing design. Redesign as if the requirement had been a foundational assumption from the start. - Read all affected files and understand the current design holistically - Ask: "if we were writing this from scratch with this new requirement, what would we build?" - Propagate the change through every reference: types, docs, examples, rationale sections - Think about the redesign holistically, then deliver it incrementally This is the method for preserving option value when integrating changes into an existing design.
