Dev Design
Run the design review phase for configured AI docs features. Before changing docs or code, propose the concrete plan for this phase and wait for user approval unless the user already approved the exact phase plan.
Phase Contract
- Run
npx ai-devkit@latest lintbefore phase work. - If working on a named feature, run
npx ai-devkit@latest lint --feature <name>. - Read existing requirements and design docs before changes.
- Ask until every material architecture, scope, validation, rollout, contradiction, trade-off, or open question is answered, explicitly deferred, or accepted as a named assumption.
- Ask one decision at a time, with why it matters, 2-3 viable options when useful, and a recommended answer.
- Do not approve or transition past design while material open questions remain.
- Use mermaid diagrams for architecture visuals where a diagram clarifies the design.
- If parent
dev-lifecycleestablished usable task tracing, emit design phase, progress, blocker/open-question, and next-step events pertask.
