Platform Design Command

Get guidance on designing Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) and improving developer experience.

Usage

/systems-design:platform-design [aspect]

Arguments

aspect (optional): Specific area to focus on

portal - Developer portal design (Backstage, Port)
templates - Service templates and software catalogs
provisioning - Self-service infrastructure provisioning
golden-paths - Standardized development workflows
If omitted: Provide comprehensive IDP guidance

Examples

/systems-design:platform-design /systems-design:platform-design portal /systems-design:platform-design golden-paths

Workflow

Understand Current State

Search for existing platform components
Look for: Backstage configs, Terraform modules, CI/CD templates
Identify current developer workflows

Spawn Platform Engineer Agent Use the platform-engineer agent to analyze and design. The agent specializes in:

Internal Developer Platform architecture
Developer portal design
Golden paths and paved roads
Self-service infrastructure
Platform team operating models

Present Design Guidance Provide recommendations organized by:

Current State Assessment
Recommended Architecture
Implementation Roadmap
Success Metrics

Output Format

## Platform Design Report ### Current State - Existing components: [list] - Developer pain points: [identified or ask] - Platform maturity: [Level 0-4] ### Recommended Architecture - [Component diagram or description] - Key components and their roles - Integration points ### Golden Paths 1. [Path name] - [Description] - Templates needed - Guardrails to implement - Escape hatches ### Implementation Roadmap - Phase 1: [Quick wins] - Phase 2: [Core capabilities] - Phase 3: [Advanced features] ### Success Metrics - Developer productivity: [metric] - Time to first deploy: [metric] - Platform adoption: [metric]
