How does this skill improve code traceability?

It enforces a 'Confidence Chain' where every requirement (AC) is mapped to a test condition (TC) and a specific implementation chunk, ensuring a clear audit trail from spec to code.

What is the Altitude Model in LS Tech Design?

It is a design framework that moves from High Altitude (System Context) to Medium Altitude (Module Architecture) to Low Altitude (Interface Definitions), ensuring no architectural level is skipped.

Does this skill help with task management?

Yes, it produces a 'Work Plan' that breaks the technical design into manageable 'Chunks,' which can be directly converted into development stories or tasks.

What is the difference between a Validator and a Designer in this skill?

As a Validator, the skill checks the input spec for missing data contracts or constraints; as a Designer, it produces the actual architecture and interfaces once the spec is verified.

Why is the documentation style described as 'verbose' or 'spiral'?

The spiral pattern creates redundant connections between functional requirements and technical implementation, making it easier for AI models and developers to navigate complex codebases.

Transforms feature specifications into implementable technical designs with architecture, interface definitions, and test mapping.

LS Tech Design is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for the technical design phase of spec-driven development. It acts as both a validator and a designer, ensuring that feature requirements (Epics) are technically feasible before architecture begins. Using a unique 'Altitude Model,' the skill guides Claude to generate documentation across three layers: System Context (30,000 ft), Module Architecture (10,000 ft), and Interface Definitions (Ground Level). By implementing a 'Confidence Chain' that maps every test condition to a specific implementation chunk, it ensures that AI-generated code remains traceable and structurally sound throughout the development lifecycle.

Características Principales

01Generates vertical 'Chunk' work plans to facilitate iterative development and story-level decomposition.

02Establishes a Confidence Chain by mapping Acceptance Criteria (AC) to Test Conditions (TC).

03Employs a 'Spiral Pattern' of documentation to create a rich web of context for both humans and AI.

04Validates Feature Specs as a downstream consumer to identify technical gaps before design begins.

053 GitHub stars

06Utilizes the Altitude Model to provide layered system context, module breakdown, and interface types.

Casos de Uso

01Creating comprehensive test plans that ensure every functional requirement is mapped to a specific test file.

02Converting high-level product Epics into detailed, implementable technical architecture documents.

03Defining rigorous API boundaries and TypeScript interface definitions for complex features.
