# Option Planning Produce defensible alternatives for a clarified requirement. This skill helps Design compare paths; it does not choose final product direction, create execution waves, or dispatch product windows. ## Source Skills Used - `feature-design-assistant`: context, discovery, design, spec, alternatives, risks, rollout, and acceptance criteria. - `senior-architect`: constraints, context boundary, containers/interfaces, data ownership, failure modes, and ADR-worthy decisions. - `mattpocock/skills/engineering/zoom-out`: step back from local implementation details and map modules, callers, and domain vocabulary. - Industry basis: Double Diamond develop stage, architecture decision records, and option-based planning before irreversible implementation. ## Wakeflow Role Design may recommend options and risks. Controller/user confirmation is required before an option becomes executable scope. Use this skill when: - there are multiple plausible repository boundaries; - a design can be implemented in stages; - interface ownership is unclear; - a migration or deletion route has tradeoffs; - quality attributes such as reliability, performance, security, or maintenance change the route. ## Interaction First Default to conversation. Use this skill to compare options, explain tradeoffs, recommend a route, and ask confirmation questions before writing any tracked Design artifact. Do not create or update option notes, requirement designs, handoff drafts, ADRs, or
