About principle-redesign-from-first-principles
A development skill for integrating requirements by rethinking the design from its foundations rather than attaching changes to existing structures. It guides developers to trace the redesign through affected code and documentation, then deliver it incrementally.
Key features
- 01Review affected files
- 02Rethink the design from scratch
- 03Propagate changes across references
- 04Deliver the redesign incrementally
Use cases
- 01Integrate a foundational requirement
- 02Update types and documentation together
- 03Reshape examples to match a new design

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.
