A workflow for starting design documentation for a new feature or technical change.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create a design index, problem statement, architecture notes, open questions, and document stubs under the project's design folder.
Why use it?
It gives a new design a predictable structure and records its scope, decisions, questions, and planned documents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

init-design scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 27d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill: init-design

Set up and carry out a new design in docs/design/designs/<name>/. Follows the conventions established in platform-actors — a brief README index, problem statement, scope, architecture decisions, open questions, and per-concern sub-documents. Ends with scaffolded stubs for each planned document.


Trigger

Invoked when the user asks to start a design for a new feature, module, or cross-cutting concern. Examples:

  • "start a design for X"
  • "set up the design docs for X"
  • "run init-design on X"

Steps

1. Clarify scope (ask the user)

Before writing anything, ask two questions in a single message:

a. Pull in related context? Should I scan the repo for existing code, specs, or design docs relevant to <feature>? (Relevant modules, OpenAPI specs, existing ORM models, etc.) This shapes the problem statement and identifies constraints before you commit to an approach.

b. Documents to create? Besides README.md, which concern-level docs do you want scaffolded now? Suggest a default list based on the feature — the platform-actors design used: actors.md, access-scenarios.md, endpoints.md, openapi-sketch.yaml, per-actor subdirs (each with README.md, auth.md, endpoints.md), authorization-server/. Say which you want, or say "suggest" and I'll propose a list with rationale.

Wait for the user's answers before proceeding.

2. Pull in related context (if yes)

Search for:

  • Existing source modules that the feature touches (grep for the feature noun in src/, openapi/)
  • Existing design docs that mention the feature or its entities
  • OpenAPI specs that will need extending
  • ORM models and migrations relevant to the new entities
  • Existing permission scopes in admin/core/permissions.py

Summarise findings in a short bullet list to the user before writing any docs. This becomes the raw material for the "Relationship to existing work" section of the README.

3. Write the README

docs/design/designs/<name>/README.md — the index and anchor doc for the design. Structure:
