Platform Designer

A Claude plugin that turns an app idea and its constraints into a practical platform direction.

Why it exists

Early architecture decisions often happen before teams name the constraints that matter. Platform Designer structures that first pass—platform fit, system boundaries, risks, assumptions, and validation—without presenting generated guidance as certainty.

Selected technical and operational details are intentionally omitted.

Advanced capabilities

Complexity, made useful.

01

Adaptive discovery

Surface platform, team, budget, timeline, offline, AI, and data-sensitivity needs.

02

Decision framing

Turn ambiguous requirements into explicit choices and tradeoffs.

03

Platform sequencing

Connect the first release to later platforms through measurable gates.

04

Evidence discipline

Separate verified facts, inferred assumptions, and conditional guidance.

Engineering principles

Designed, built, and tested around trust.

Human decisions stay explicit

Assumptions remain visible

Architecture follows product constraints

Delivery evidence

What the public claim is based on.

A working plugin and evaluation runner exist. Automated model-backed evaluation still depends on a supported authentication path.

Status is intentionally conservative and does not imply that every planned feature is released on every platform.
