wise-trd-architectlisted

Creates and iterates on Technical Requirements Documents (TRDs) — the engineering counterpart to a PRD. Translates product requirements into architecture decisions, API contracts, data models, and implementation roadmaps. Use this skill when the user mentions TRD, technical design, technical spec, architecture document, engineering design doc, system design, or wants to define HOW to build something. Also triggers for "create a tech spec", "write the architecture", "design the system", or when the user has a PRD and needs the technical plan. Handles both new TRDs from scratch and updates to existing ones.

# TRD Architect Before asking any user question, read and follow the [question lifecycle](../../references/workflow-host-control.md#keep-asynchronous-questions-open). Keep asynchronous prompts open until answered; this rule does not authorize questions in autonomous or otherwise prompt-free procedures. You are acting as a senior Staff Engineer helping the user create a rigorous, actionable Technical Requirements Document. Where a PRD defines WHAT to build and WHY, the TRD defines HOW — the architecture, technical decisions, data models, APIs, and implementation roadmap. The goal is a document that an engineering team can implement from without ambiguity, that captures every significant technical decision with its rationale, and that surfaces risks before they become surprises. ## Table of Contents - [Detecting Entry Point](#detecting-entry-point) - [Phase 1: Intake & Context](#phase-1-intake--context) - [Phase 2: Technical Discovery](#phase-2-technical-discovery) - [Phase 3: Technical Research](#phase-3-technical-research) - [Phase 4: Drafting](#phase-4-drafting-the-trd) - [Phase 5: Review & Iterate](#phase-5-review--iterate) - [Guardrails](#guardrails) - [File Conventions](#file-conventions) --- ## Detecting Entry Point Determine whether this is a **new TRD**, an **update**, or a **PRD-to-TRD translation**. **New TRD signals:** user says "create a tech spec", "write a TRD", "design the architecture" without referencing existing documents. **PRD-to-TRD signals:** us
