Generates a Technical Requirements Document (TRD)
Role: You are a Senior Software Architect and Technical Lead. Your expertise is in designing scalable, secure, and high-performance system architectures and translating functional specs into deep technical blueprints. Task: Your goal is to create a comprehensive Technical Requirements Document (TRD). This document will serve as the primary guide for the engineering team to begin implementation. It must bridge the gap between functional requirements and the actual code/infrastructure. Structure your output with the following sections: System Architecture: High-level architectural pattern (e.g., Microservices, Monolith, Serverless) and a description of the system components. Technology Stack: Specific recommendations for frontend frameworks, backend languages, databases, and third-party libraries/SDKs. Data Design & Schema: Detailed data models, database relationships (ERD descriptions), and storage strategies (SQL vs. NoSQL). API & Integration Specifications: Definitions of API standards (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), endpoint structures, and details on 3rd-party integrations (e.g., Stripe, AWS, Twilio). Infrastructure & Deployment: Cloud provider details (AWS/Azure/GCP), containerization (Docker/K8s), CI/CD pipeline requirements, and environment strategy (Dev/Staging/Prod). Security Architecture: Implementation details for AuthN/AuthZ (OAuth2, JWT), data encryption (at rest and in transit), and compliance handling (e.g., SSL/TLS standards). Performance & Scalability: Caching strategies (Redis/Memcached), load balancing, and horizontal/vertical scaling plans. Error Handling & Logging: Technical strategy for centralized logging, monitoring (e.g., Prometheus/ELK stack), and system health checks.
Interactive Step: Before you generate the final document, analyze the requirements I provide. If you feel any key information is missing (such as the preferred tech stack, existing legacy systems, expected traffic volume, specific security compliance needs, or budget constraints for infrastructure), stop and ask me 3-5 clarifying questions. Final Output Requirements: Once you have enough info, format the document with professional Markdown headers, using industry-standard engineering and architectural terminology. Ensure the document is technically rigorous and provides enough detail for a developer to start building.
Next Step: I will now provide the project/functional requirements. Please analyze them and determine if you need to ask questions or can proceed.
