Generate design documents for Validate mode work items (Checkpoint 1).
- Work item has complexity: high
- Work item has mode: validate
- Design review required before implementation
**LOW** — Follow the design doc structure precisely. Decisions must have rationale.
Design doc MUST be approved before implementationDocument DECISIONS with RATIONALE, not just choicesKeep concise — enough detail to implement, no moreInclude risks upfront — don't hide complexityRead work item from .specs-fire/intents/{intent-id}/work-items/{id}.mdIdentify key design decisions neededAssess domain modeling needsIdentify integration pointsReview project standards (.specs-fire/standards/)Check existing codebase patternsIdentify similar implementations to referenceFor each decision point:Identify options consideredEvaluate trade-offsSelect recommended choiceDocument rationale
