About principle-redesign-from-first-principles
A development skill for integrating requirements by rethinking the design from first principles instead of attaching changes to existing structures. It guides developers to trace the redesign through affected code, documentation, and examples.
Key features
- 01Review all affected files
- 02Reconsider design around the requirement
- 03Propagate changes across references
- 04Deliver a complete redesign incrementally
Use cases
- 01Integrating a requirement into an established design
- 02Updating related types, documentation, and examples
- 03Planning a broad redesign in incremental steps

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 there 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.
