description	Develop a comprehensive technical design document based on approved requirements. Use this as the second step of Spec Driven Development to architecture and design the solution.

Feature Design Creation Workflow

Quick start

"Run the design skill to create a technical design document based on [path/to/requirements.md]."

Workflows

1. Research & Design Generation

• Prerequisite: Ensure a requirements document exists and has been approved.
• Research:
  • Identify areas needing research based on requirements.
  • Conduct research (build context in conversation, summarize findings, cite sources). Do NOT create separate research files.
• Task: Develop a comprehensive design document incorporating the research findings.
• Constraints:
  • Format the document according to the template in template.md.
  • Address all feature requirements identified in the previous step.
  • Highlight design decisions and their rationales.
  • Use Mermaid for diagrams if applicable.

2. Iterative Refinement

• Output: Write the design document to design.md.
• Feedback Loop:
  • Ask the user: "Does the design look good? If so, we can move on to the implementation plan."
  • Make modifications if the user requests changes or does not explicitly approve.
  • Continue the feedback-revision cycle until explicit approval is received.
  • Offer to return to requirements clarification if gaps are identified during design.
