About principle-redesign-from-first-principles
A design skill for integrating requirements into an existing system. It recommends rethinking the design from the new requirement as a starting assumption, then propagating the change across affected implementation and documentation.
Key features
- 01Read affected files and current design
- 02Reconsider design from the new requirement
- 03Update types and references consistently
- 04Revise docs, examples, and rationale
- 05Deliver the redesign incrementally
Use cases
- 01Integrating a foundational requirement into an existing design
- 02Updating implementation and documentation after a design change

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.
