design-docs

design-docs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ZaxbyHub/opencode-swarm. It costs 86 tokens per session (1,497 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured documentation workflow for creating or updating design documents in a project repository. It produces documents such as domain, technical, and behavior specifications, plus reference material.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate new design documentation or synchronize existing design documents with the current code or specifications.
Why use it?
It keeps design decisions organized and linked to stable section IDs, so documentation can be updated without losing track of changes. It does not change the project's source code.

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-docs 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 5d 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 — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Design-Doc Generation & Sync Protocol

Generate or maintain the project's structured design documentation. The work is delegated to the docs_design agent (a design-doc-author role variant of the docs agent). This mode authors a fixed set of version-controlled docs in the target project repo (NOT under .swarm/). It does NOT modify source code, does NOT call declare_scope, and does NOT touch .swarm/spec.md, CHANGELOG.md, or docs/releases/pending/*.

MODE: DESIGN_DOCS

Step 0 — Parse Header

Parse the [MODE: DESIGN_DOCS ...] header to extract:

  • out: output directory, project-relative (default docs)
  • lang: target language for reference/ docs, or auto (default auto)
  • update: boolean — true = sync existing docs to current code/spec; false = generate fresh
  • the trailing free text = the system description (required when update=false)

If the header is malformed, report the error and stop.

Step 1 — Preconditions

  1. Confirm design_docs.enabled is true (the docs_design agent only exists when enabled). If it is not, tell the user to set design_docs.enabled: true in opencode-swarm.json and stop.
  2. If a spec-staleness block is active (.swarm/spec-staleness.json present), resolve/acknowledge spec staleness FIRST — otherwise design-doc writes may be blocked by the guardrail, which emits SPEC_DRIFT_BLOCK. Do not blindly retry on SPEC_DRIFT_BLOCK.
  3. Read .swarm/spec.md if present — it is the authoritative requirements source (FR-### IDs). The design docs must be consistent with it. Run /swarm sdd status to resolve the effective spec before reading.

Step 2 — Index Existing State (always)

Have the docs_design agent (or doc_scan) index <out>/ to discover any existing design docs. If <out>/reference/traceability.json exists, it is the section-ID registry — load it. Existing section IDs MUST be preserved on regeneration.

Step 3 — Generate or Sync

Dispatch the docs_design agent (the active swarm's docs_design — never the standard docs agent) with:

  • TASK, MODE (generate|sync), OUT_DIR, LANGUAGE
  • For sync: FILES CHANGED and CHANGES SUMMARY from the current phase/diff
  • SKILLS: file:.swarm/bundled-skills/design-docs/SKILL.md (this skill)

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.
