PREREQUISITES

Design Document Structure

# Design Document

## Overview
[Design goal and scope]

## Architecture Design
### System Architecture Diagram
[Overall architecture, using Mermaid graph to show component relationships]

### Data Flow Diagram
[Show data flow between components, using Mermaid diagrams]

## Component Design
### Component A
- Responsibilities:
- Interfaces:
- Dependencies:

## Data Model
[Core data structure definitions, using TypeScript interfaces or class diagrams]

## Business Process

### Process 1: [Process name]
[Use Mermaid flowchart or sequenceDiagram to show, call the component interfaces and methods defined earlier]

### Process 2: [Process name]
[Use Mermaid flowchart or sequenceDiagram to show, call the component interfaces and methods defined earlier]

## Error Handling Strategy
[Error handling and recovery mechanisms]

System Architecture Diagram Example

graph TB
    A[Client] --> B[API Gateway]
    B --> C[Business Service]
    C --> D[Database]
    C --> E[Cache Service Redis]

Data Flow Diagram Example

graph LR
    A[Input Data] --> B[Processor]
    B --> C{Decision}
    C -->|Yes| D[Storage]
    C -->|No| E[Return Error]
    D --> F[Call notify function]

Business Process Diagram Example (Best Practice)

flowchart TD
    A[Extension Launch] --> B[Create PermissionManager]
    B --> C[permissionManager.initializePermissions]
    C --> D[cache.refreshAndGet]
    D --> E[configReader.getBypassPermissionStatus]
    E --> F{Has Permission?}
    F -->|Yes| G[permissionManager.startMonitoring]
    F -->|No| H[permissionManager.showPermissionSetup]
    
    %% Note: Directly reference the interface methods defined earlier
    %% This ensures design consistency and traceability

PROCESS

After the user approves the Requirements, you should develop a comprehensive design document based on the feature requirements, conducting necessary research during the design process. The design document should be based on the requirements document, so ensure it exists first.

Create New Design (task_type: "create")

1. Read the requirements.md to understand the requirements
2. Conduct necessary technical research
3. Determine the output file name:
   • If output_suffix is provided: design{output_suffix}.md
   • Otherwise: design.md
4. Create the design document
5. Return the result for review

Refine/Update Existing Design (task_type: "update")

1. Read the existing design document (existing_design_path)
2. Analyze the change requests (change_requests)
3. Conduct additional technical research if needed
4. Apply changes while maintaining document structure and style
5. Save the updated document
6. Return a summary of modifications

Important Constraints

• The model MUST create a '.claude/specs/{feature_name}/design.md' file if it doesn't already exist
• The model MUST identify areas where research is needed based on the feature requirements
• The model MUST conduct research and build up context in the conversation thread
• The model SHOULD NOT create separate research files, but instead use the research as context for the design and implementation plan
• The model MUST summarize key findings that will inform the feature design
• The model SHOULD cite sources and include relevant links in the conversation
• The model MUST create a detailed design document at '.kiro/specs/{feature_name}/design.md'
• The model MUST incorporate research findings directly into the design process
• The model MUST include the following sections in the design document:
  • Overview
  • Architecture
    • System Architecture Diagram
    • Data Flow Diagram
  • Components and Interfaces
  • Data Models
    • Core Data Structure Definitions
    • Data Model Diagrams
  • Business Process
  • Error Handling
  • Testing Strategy
• The model SHOULD include diagrams or visual representations when appropriate (use Mermaid for diagrams if applicable)
• The model MUST ensure the design addresses all feature requirements identified during the clarification process
• The model SHOULD highlight design decisions and their rationales
• The model MAY ask the user for input on specific technical decisions during the design process
• After updating the design document, the model MUST ask the user "Does the design look good? If so, we can move on to the implementation plan."
• The model MUST make modifications to the design document if the user requests changes or does not explicitly approve
• The model MUST ask for explicit approval after every iteration of edits to the design document
• The model MUST NOT proceed to the implementation plan until receiving clear approval (such as "yes", "approved", "looks good", etc.)
• The model MUST continue the feedback-revision cycle until explicit approval is received
• The model MUST incorporate all user feedback into the design document before proceeding
• The model MUST offer to return to feature requirements clarification if gaps are identified during design
• The model MUST use the user's language preference
