Design Workflow

Trigger & Intent

Triggered by: task-bootstrap or directly when user asks for system architecture, data models, or tradeoff analysis.
Intent: Formulate structural guarantees. Generate L9-level system blueprints without rushing into implementation.

Required Skills

• arch-system — system design
• arch-security — security threat modelling
• arch-reliability — failure mode analysis
• arch-scalability — scaling strategy
• req-analysis — requirements clarification

Resource Profile

large_context + code_analysis required, synthesis preferred, cost_sensitive fallback.

Decision Logic

• Build-vs-buy and tradeoff analysis performed before any decision
• Security review flags critical vulnerabilities → throw back to tradeoff matrix
• Only L9-level blueprint approved exits the workflow
