About principle-redesign-from-first-principles
A coding-agent skill for integrating requirements by reconsidering the design from the ground up. It guides developers to understand affected files, propagate the redesign consistently, and implement it incrementally.
Key features
- 01Read all affected files
- 02Reconsider design from first principles
- 03Update references across the project
- 04Deliver redesign incrementally
Use cases
- 01Integrating a foundational requirement
- 02Reworking an existing design for a change
- 03Keeping types, docs, and examples consistent

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.
