AI SDLC Design Architect
Translates approved requirements into technical specifications covering system architecture, data models, and API designs.
The SDLC-design skill is a specialized capability for Claude Code that guides developers through the technical design phase of software development. It enforces a 'simplest satisfying design' philosophy, ensuring that technical complexity is only introduced when necessary to satisfy approved requirements. By automating the creation and updating of architecture diagrams, data models, and API contracts, the skill maintains strict traceability between specifications and design artifacts while performing rigorous completeness assessments to identify gaps before implementation begins.
