design-blueprint

design-blueprint is a skill for Claude Code from techygarg/lattice. It costs 140 tokens per session (2,896 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided design process that turns a feature idea into an agreed technical plan. It covers what the system should do, its parts, interactions, boundaries, and data concepts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define feature capabilities, components, interactions, architecture, and domain concepts such as entities and events, then produce a blueprint for development.
Why use it?
It helps a team make important design decisions explicitly before implementation and keeps those decisions connected to the project context.

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

design-blueprint 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 17d 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.

Design Blueprint

Required Skills

Read and apply in order before Step 1:

  1. framework:knowledge-priming -- Load the project knowledge base so every decision grounds in the real project. (always)
  2. framework:context-anchoring -- Create or load the feature's living context doc (Create / Load / Enrich behaviors). (always)
  3. framework:learning-harvest -- Load prior operational learnings at session start; harvest new ones at session end. (always)
  4. framework:collaborative-judgment -- Surface genuine judgment calls as structured options instead of silently assuming. (always)
  5. framework:design-first -- Owns the 5-level methodology. Its Entry Assessment, Complexity Calibration, Simplicity Check, and Level Completion Protocol govern Step 2. (Step 2)
  6. framework:architecture -- Validate components, layers, dependency direction, and boundary rules (design mode). (Levels 2-4)
  7. framework:domain-driven-design -- Model aggregates, entities, value objects, events, and contracts (design mode). (Levels 2-4)

Additional Instructions

STOP: Before Step 1, read additional_instructions.design_blueprint (one line or a list) from .lattice/config.yaml. No file or no key → skip silently.

When lines are found:

  1. Show them verbatim under "Additional instructions (from config):".
  2. Highest priority — apply them for the whole session, including on resume. On any conflict with anything else in this skill — steps, gates, STOP rules — or with its Required Skills, standards documents, or operational learnings, the config line wins.

Workflow

Step 1: Establish Context

  1. Run framework:learning-harvest Load behavior. Focus hint: "design session — focus: design patterns, reliability, structural health".
  2. Set up the feature's living doc with framework:context-anchoring:
    • Discover: run context-anchoring Document Discovery — scan the context base directory (per the atom's Config Resolution) for an existing anchor doc matching the feature name or frontmatter.
    • Found → Load behavior. Present the structured acknowledgment: feature name, status, decision count, open questions, constraints. Then run the resume check below.
    • Not found → Create behavior. Confirm the feature name, summary, and requirement doc link with the user before creating. Then begin Step 2 — the Entry Assessment sets the entry level.

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.

design-blueprint is a skill published in the GitHub repository techygarg/lattice (209 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 140 tokens to every session and 2,896 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
