Use this skill when designing distributed systems, architecting scalable services, preparing for system design interviews, or making infrastructure decisions. Triggers on load balancing, CAP theorem, sharding, replication, caching strategies, message queues, microservices architecture, database selection, rate limiting, and any task requiring high-level system architecture decisions.
Guide architectural design decisions for software systems. Use this skill when designing new systems, evaluating architecture trade-offs, or creating technical design documents. Helps produce clear, well-structured design artifacts including component diagrams, data flow, and decision records.
Transform static system design diagrams into interactive, explorable visualizations using AI-powered analysis and React Flow.
Software architecture and system design - scalability patterns, reliability engineering, and the art of making technical trade-offs that survive productionUse when "system design, architecture, scalability, how should we structure, distributed, microservices, monolith, high availability, design the system, component diagram, architecture, system-design, scalability, reliability, distributed, api, modeling, c4" mentioned.
Design systems, services, and architectures. Trigger with "design a system for", "how should we architect", "system design for", "what's the right architecture for", or when the user needs help with API design, data modeling, or service boundaries.
Design and architect software systems. Plans system components, interactions, and deployment patterns for scalability and maintainability.
Create or update system design documents. Supports initial design and incremental design modes. Use when users need technical architecture, API design, data models, design changes, or impact analysis. Triggers on keywords like "system design", "architecture", "technical design", "API design", "design change", "impact analysis", "design change", "impact analysis".
Generate Technical Architecture Documents (TAD) from PRD files. Use when users ask to "design the architecture", "create a TAD", "system design", or want to define how a product will be built. Creates tad.md with modular architecture optimized for startups.
Coaches end-to-end ML system design interviews covering inference pipelines, recommendation systems, RAG, feature stores, and monitoring. Use for L6+ design rounds, ML architecture whiteboarding, system design practice, serving tradeoff analysis. Activate on "ML system design", "ML interview", "recommendation system design", "RAG architecture", "feature store design", "model serving". NOT for coding interviews, behavioral questions, ML theory quizzes, or paper implementations.
Design scalable distributed systems using structured approaches for load balancing, caching, database scaling, and message queues. Use when the user mentions "system design", "scale this", "high availability", "rate limiter", or "design a URL shortener". Covers common system designs and back-of-the-envelope estimation. For data fundamentals, see ddia-systems. For resilience, see release-it.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "design interview processes", "create hiring pipelines", "calibrate interview loops", "generate interview questions", "design competency matrices", "analyze interviewer bias", "create scoring rubrics", "build question banks", or "optimize hiring systems". Use for designing role-specific interview loops, competency assessments, and hiring calibration systems.
Produces comprehensive system architecture plans for features and products including component breakdown, data flow diagrams, system boundaries, API contracts, and scaling considerations. Use for "system design", "architecture planning", "feature design", or "technical specs".
