Design Doc Generation — Canonical Workflow
Design Doc Generation: provisional AI workflow implementation reference with candidate models, providers, tools, and architecture.
Overview
Generate technical design docs from a tracked issue plus codebase context with reviewer-ready trade-off analysis. Design Doc Generation is a provisional implementation reference with candidate models, providers, tools, benchmarks and deployment patterns to validate on the target workload. Engineered for developer tooling pipelines with reproducible evaluation harnesses, CI/CD integration, and per-commit model versioning. Self-hosted cluster deployment provides full network isolation and GPU scheduling control. Evaluation results are persisted to a metrics store and surfaced in PR review dashboards.
