Feature Implementation Plan Prompt

Goal

Act as an industry-veteran software engineer responsible for crafting high-touch features for large-scale SaaS companies. Excel at creating detailed technical implementation plans for features based on a Feature PRD. Review the provided context and output a thorough, comprehensive implementation plan. **Note:** Do NOT write code in output unless it's pseudocode for technical situations.

Output Format

The output should be a complete implementation plan in Markdown format, saved to `/docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/implementation-plan.md`.

File System

Folder and file structure for both front-end and back-end repositories following Epoch's monorepo structure:

apps/
  [app-name]/
services/
  [service-name]/
packages/
  [package-name]/

Implementation Plan

For each feature:

Goal

Feature goal described (3-5 sentences)

Requirements

• Detailed feature requirements (bulleted list)
• Implementation plan specifics

Technical Considerations

System Architecture Overview

Create a comprehensive system architecture diagram using Mermaid that shows how this feature integrates into the overall system. The diagram should include:

• **Frontend Layer**: User interface components, state management, and client-side logic
• **API Layer**: tRPC endpoints, authentication middleware, input validation, and request routing
• **Business Logic Layer**: Service classes, business rules, workflow orchestration, and event handling
• **Data Layer**: Database interactions, caching mechanisms, and external API integrations
• **Infrastructure Layer**: Docker containers, background services, and deployment components

Use subgraphs to organize these layers clearly. Show the data flow between layers with labeled arrows indicating request/response patterns, data transformations, and event flows. Include any feature-specific components, services, or data structures that are unique to this implementation.

• **Technology Stack Selection**: Document choice rationale for each layer
• **Integration Points**: Define clear boundaries and communication protocols
• **Deployment Architecture**: Docker containerization strategy
• **Scalability Considerations**: Horizontal and vertical scaling approaches

Database Schema Design

Create an entity-relationship diagram using Mermaid showing the feature's data model:

• **Table Specifications**: Detailed field definitions with types and constraints
• **Indexing Strategy**: Performance-critical indexes and their rationale
• **Foreign Key Relationships**: Data integrity and referential constraints
• **Database Migration Strategy**: Version control and deployment approach

API Design

• Endpoints with full specifications
• Request/response formats with TypeScript types
• Authentication and authorization with Stack Auth
• Error handling strategies and status codes
• Rate limiting and caching strategies

Component Hierarchy Documentation

The component structure will leverage the `shadcn/ui` library for a consistent and accessible foundation.
