About principle-redesign-from-first-principles
A development skill for integrating requirements by reconsidering the design from first principles rather than appending changes to existing structures. It guides developers to inspect affected files and propagate the redesign across related references.
Key features
- 01Review affected files and current design
- 02Reconsider the design around the requirement
- 03Update types, docs, examples, and rationale
- 04Deliver the redesign incrementally
Use cases
- 01Integrate a new requirement across an existing system
- 02Align documentation and examples with design changes

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.
