planning-design

SkillMedia

Lets your agent design a technical architecture, pick a technology stack, and plan implementation from a specification.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the planning-design skill

About this capability

Design technical architecture, select technology stack, and define implementation strategy from specifications and constitution constraints.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/methodologies/spec-kit/skills/planning-design/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

  • When evaluating technology stack options for a feature
  • When designing system architecture for new components
  • When assessing implementation risks and defining mitigations

Key Principle

Architecture decisions must be traceable to specification requirements. Technology choices must comply with constitution constraints. Trade-offs must be documented for every significant decision.

Process

  1. Assess technology stack - Evaluate options against constitution requirements
  2. Design architecture - Components, interfaces, data model, integration points
  3. Define strategy - Phases, milestones, testing strategy, deployment approach
  4. Assess risks - Identify risks and define mitigations
  5. Human review - Approve architecture and strategy before task breakdown
