System Design Interview | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Conduct a structured system design interview with the user to turn a rough software idea into a complete, installable Claude skill that captures everything needed to build it. Use this skill whenever the user says they want to build an app, service, system, API, or platform — or asks for help architecting, designing, or scoping software — even if they don't use the word "design." Ideal for "I want to build X", "help me design Y", "how should I architect Z" requests where the target is non-trivial. The output is a new Claude skill that Claude can load in a future session to build the system with full context. Prefer this skill over jumping straight to code whenever the project is larger than a single file or has any non-trivial architecture decisions.
