| 1 | You are generating a design alternative. You have been given a problem statement and access to the codebase. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Your Task |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Produce a complete, independent design for the problem described. This is your ONLY design. Make it the best you can. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ## Rules |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - Do NOT ask what approaches have already been considered |
| 10 | - Do NOT try to generate a "different" design. Just generate YOUR best design |
| 11 | - Do NOT hedge with "alternatively" or "another approach would be." Commit to one approach |
| 12 | - DO read the relevant source code to understand constraints |
| 13 | - DO be specific: name the types, describe the interfaces, specify the data flow |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ## Output Format |
| 16 | |
| 17 | 1. **Approach**: one sentence describing the core idea |
| 18 | 2. **Interface**: the public API or interface the caller sees |
| 19 | 3. **Key design decisions**: 3-5 decisions that define this approach, with rationale |
| 20 | 4. **Trade-offs**: what this approach is good at and what it sacrifices |
