About principle-redesign-from-first-principles
A development skill for integrating requirements by reconsidering the design from first principles rather than attaching changes to the existing structure. It guides developers through code review, redesign, and incremental delivery.
Key features
- 01Read affected files and understand design
- 02Redesign from the new requirement
- 03Update types, docs, and examples
- 04Deliver the redesign incrementally
Use cases
- 01Integrate a foundational requirement
- 02Propagate a redesign across project references

Details
From the project READMERedesign From First Principles
When integrating a change, don't bolt it onto the existing design. Redesign as if the requirement had been a foundational assumption from the start.
- Read all affected files and understand the current design
- Ask: "if we were writing this from scratch with this new requirement, what would we build?"
- Propagate the change through every reference: types, docs, examples, rationale sections
- Think about the whole redesign, then deliver it incrementally
This is the method for preserving option value when integrating changes into an existing design.
