Generates professional Technical Design Documents following industry-standard engineering practices. This skill activates when the user asks to write a technical design, create an architecture design, draft a design doc, write a technical proposal, do system design, create a technical design document, write an RFC, create a design document, or produce an architecture document. It synthesizes best practices from the Google Design Doc format, the RFC template structure, and Uber/Meta engineering…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Tech Design Generation Skill ## What Is a Technical Design Document? A Technical Design Document (TDD) is the engineering blueprint that translates product requirements into a concrete, implementable architecture. It sits between the Software Requirements Specification (SRS) and the actual code, serving as the contract between the engineering team and the rest of the organization about how a system will be built. A well-crafted TDD reduces implementation risk, surfaces architectural trade-offs early, and provides a lasting record of why specific technical decisions were made. The Google Design Doc tradition emphasizes that design documents are not just about documenting a decision after the fact -- they are a tool for thinking through a problem rigorously before committing to code. The RFC (Request for Comments) tradition adds the dimension of structured peer review, ensuring that designs benefit from collective expertise. Uber and Meta engineering standards contribute a focus on scalability, operational readiness, and production-grade thinking from day one. …

How to install
mdr add tercel/spec-forge/tech-design-generation@sha256:c9165313a909c292The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.268f496, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
