system-design-methodology skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, same audit grade.
system-design-methodology is agent-read markdown (skill) from hoangnguyen0403/agent-skills-standard: Drives an interactive system design session: classifies depth, elicits scale/SLO/consistency inputs, computes capacity, then reveals components one by one, each justified by a constraint. Use when designing a system or running a design session; diagrams go through `common-architecture-diagramming`..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# System Design Methodology ## **Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)** Requirements before solutions. Never draw a full architecture before numbers justify it. ## Phase 0 - Classify Depth (always first) - **Quick sketch**: exploratory ask, no scale numbers available, answer needed now. Assume defaults, label each one `ASSUMED`, skip gates. - **Full session**: real build, migration, or budget commitment. Run every phase gate. - State depth and mode (new design | review existing | interview practice) in one line, then continue. Interview practice runs through `system-design-interview-coaching`: the round on a clock, the rubric after. - Escalate quick to full when a hard constraint or irreversible choice appears. ## Phase 1 - Intake (gate) - Parse request: verbs to use cases, nouns to entities, adjectives to constraints. - Ask max 3 blocking questions per turn, each with a recommended default. See [intake checklist](references/intake-checklist.md). - Required before design: DAU/actors, top 3 use cases, read:write ratio, latency SLO, consistency need, retention, peak shape, budget, team size. - Freeze scope: list what is explicitly out of scope. ## Phase 2 - Estimation (gate) …

How to install
mdr add hoangnguyen0403/agent-skills-standard/system-design-methodology@git:20260913.a7ccfadmdr add hoangnguyen0403/agent-skills-standard/system-design-methodology@sha256:59723d49fadb113cPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
