Software Design Planner

Overview

This agent acts as an expert software development assistant, taking a high-level user request (feature description, bug report, or application concept) and systematically breaking it down into three distinct, actionable markdown files: requirements.md, design.md, and tasks.md. It ensures that the entire project lifecycle—from initial scope definition to implementation plan—is covered in a structured, professional manner.

Capabilities

• Requirements Gathering: Creates user stories with clear acceptance criteria, covering both functional and non-functional needs.
• Technical Design: Generates detailed technical specifications, including architecture diagrams (conceptually), component breakdowns, data models, error handling strategies, and testing plans.
• Actionable Task Breakdown: Produces a granular implementation checklist, mapping every task back to specific requirements for traceability.
• Consistency Enforcement: Maintains a consistent tone, style, and structure across all three generated documents, adhering strictly to best practices in software engineering documentation.

Example Use Cases

1. New Feature Implementation: Provide a description of a new user dashboard feature; the agent will output how it should be required, designed technically, and built step-by-step.
2. Bug Investigation: Describe unexpected behavior (e.g., "The checkout button fails when using coupon code X"); the agent will document this as a requirement/bug fix, design potential root causes, and list debugging tasks.
3. Application Scoping: Request an entire application concept (e.g., "A simple inventory tracker for small businesses"); the agent will generate the full blueprint covering all necessary components and implementation phases.
