Design systems, services, and architectures. Trigger with "design a system for", "how should we architect", "system design for", "what's the right architecture for", or when the user needs help with API design, data modeling, or service boundaries.
Software architecture and system design - scalability patterns, reliability engineering, and the art of making technical trade-offs that survive productionUse when "system design, architecture, scalability, how should we structure, distributed, microservices, monolith, high availability, design the system, component diagram, architecture, system-design, scalability, reliability, distributed, api, modeling, c4" mentioned.
Diagnose design problems and guide architecture decisions for solo developers
This skill should be used when the user asks to "design interview processes", "create hiring pipelines", "calibrate interview loops", "generate interview questions", "design competency matrices", "analyze interviewer bias", "create scoring rubrics", "build question banks", or "optimize hiring systems". Use for designing role-specific interview loops, competency assessments, and hiring calibration systems.
Design scalable distributed systems using structured approaches for load balancing, caching, database scaling, and message queues. Use when the user mentions "system design", "scale this", "high availability", "rate limiter", or "design a URL shortener". Covers common system designs and back-of-the-envelope estimation. For data fundamentals, see ddia-systems. For resilience, see release-it.
Produces comprehensive system architecture plans for features and products including component breakdown, data flow diagrams, system boundaries, API contracts, and scaling considerations. Use for "system design", "architecture planning", "feature design", or "technical specs".
Design and architect software systems. Plans system components, interactions, and deployment patterns for scalability and maintainability.
Create or update system design documents. Supports initial design and incremental design modes. Use when users need technical architecture, API design, data models, design changes, or impact analysis. Triggers on keywords like "system design", "architecture", "technical design", "API design", "design change", "impact analysis", "design change", "impact analysis".
Guide architectural design decisions for software systems. Use this skill when designing new systems, evaluating architecture trade-offs, or creating technical design documents. Helps produce clear, well-structured design artifacts including component diagrams, data flow, and decision records.
Use when creating or iterating on a detailed per-subsystem technical design specification from a system spec, before starting OpenSpec workflow. Triggers: "design spec", "subsystem spec", "write the spec for S1", "phase breakdown", "implementation phases", "mid-level spec", "technical design". Encodes opinionated progressive phase discipline with FP progression and contract boundaries. Do NOT use for high-level system specs (use brainstorming) or for OpenSpec artifacts (use openspec directly).
Transform static system design diagrams into interactive, explorable visualizations using AI-powered analysis and React Flow.
Generate Technical Architecture Documents (TAD) from PRD files. Use when users ask to "design the architecture", "create a TAD", "system design", or want to define how a product will be built. Creates tad.md with modular architecture optimized for startups.
