About
The starting-a-design-plan skill provides a rigorous, standardized framework for transitioning from a vague idea to a concrete, validated design document. By guiding Claude through sequential phases—context gathering, requirement clarification, success definition, brainstorming, and documentation—it ensures that architectural decisions are well-reasoned and documented before any code is written. This skill acts as a high-level orchestrator, leveraging specialized sub-skills for technical deep-dives while maintaining a clear audit trail of the design evolution via TodoWrite tracking.
