system-design-doc is a skill for Claude Code from lenar-amirov/product-pipeline-public. It costs 92 tokens per session (516 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system-design skill for product managers that records the existing components, dependencies, constraints, risks, and integration points affecting an initiative.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during estimation or architecture discussions to capture what will be affected, who or what the work depends on, and which unknowns may change the estimate.
Why use it?
It gives a development lead a structured way to supply feasibility facts without inventing architecture details.

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

system-design-doc 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

System Design (PM view)

Boundary: this skill = what the system looks like and what constrains the initiative (feasibility input, PRD §9–10). What will be built for this initiative belongs to technical-spec-document.

This is a conversation WITH the dev lead, not a document Claude invents. Claude structures; the dev lead supplies facts. Anything Claude infers without the dev lead is INFERRED — mark it and list it as an open question.

What to capture (in priority order)

  1. System context — which existing components/services does the solution touch? One list: component → what changes.
  2. Dependencies — teams, internal platforms, external vendors the initiative needs. For each: owner + what exactly + lead time. These become dependencies[] in status.json (owner, deadline, blocks) — offer to create them immediately.
  3. Constraining NFRs — load, latency, privacy/compliance, platform parity. Only the ones that could change the solution shape or the estimate; skip textbook lists.
  4. Risks and unknowns — the "we won't know until we open it" list; each unknown widens the estimate — ask the dev lead to size the widening.
  5. Integration points for tracking — where the analytics events (from tracking-and-funnels) will be emitted; flag anything the solution makes unmeasurable.

Output

output/dev-estimate.md §Architecture (or PRD §9–10 directly): context list, dependency table, constraining NFRs, risk register with estimate impact.

Anti-patterns

  • Infrastructure detail (servers, databases, configs) the PM neither needs nor can verify.
  • Presenting Claude-guessed architecture as fact — without the dev lead everything here is INFERRED.
  • NFR laundry lists — only constraints that change decisions.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
