Can I use the design skill to write implementation code?

No, the design skill is a strict 'no-code' zone. It is used for architecture, data flow, and task planning. Coding is handled by the development skill after the design phase is complete.

What are the five stages of the design process?

The stages are: 1. Vision (feasibility), 2. Architecture (technical design), 3. Roadmap (milestones), 4. Milestone Spec (detailed planning), and 5. Task Spec (atomic tasks).

What is the '200 Users First' philosophy?

It is a design principle that prioritizes production-quality engineering sized for initial validation (200 users) to avoid the common pitfall of over-engineering before finding product-market fit.

Are the templates mandatory?

Yes, templates are mandatory to ensure that every project follows a curated structure that covers security, data modeling, and integration requirements without skipping critical sections.

How does this skill hand off to development?

Once the Stage 5 Task Spec is generated, it provides a list of atomic, measurable tasks that a development-focused skill can then execute step-by-step.

生产力与工作流

Transforms abstract product ideas into executable technical roadmaps and atomic task specifications through a structured 5-stage workflow.

The design skill is a specialized capability for Claude Code that enforces a rigorous 'design phase' before any implementation occurs. It guides users through five critical stages: Vision, Architecture, Strategic Roadmap, Milestone Specification, and Atomic Task Specification. By adhering to a '200 Users First' philosophy, it helps teams build production-grade architectures that are right-sized for initial market validation. This skill ensures that every project has a clear technical foundation, well-defined dependencies, and measurable success criteria, providing a seamless handoff to development tools once the design is finalized.
