Results for “design-pillars”

Spiral inductors, interdigital capacitors, baluns, resonators, phase shifters for impedance matching, DC blocking, and bias tees. TRIGGER: user asks to design or create a spiral inductor, interdigital capacitor, balun, resonator, phase shifter, or other passive RF component. Invoke BEFORE writing code — class names and property patterns are non-obvious. SKIP: filter design (use matlab-design-pcb-filter), coupler/splitter design (use matlab-design-pcb-coupler), transmission line design (use matlab-design-pcb-transmission-line), EM analysis (use matlab-analyze-em), material setup only (use matlab-manage-pcb-material).

Design high-level system architecture, create Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), evaluate technology trade-offs, and plan for scalability.

Define architecture for a Sage/Acorn feature — architecture decision records, component boundaries, data flow, dependency mapping, pre-implementation design, trade-off analysis, Acorn architecture patterns, ADR, design before building

Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic AI aesthetics. Use when the user says "build this UI", "design this page", "make it look good", "dashboard layout", "beautify this", or "make the UI feel premium".

Wilkinson, branchline, ratrace, directional couplers, corporate dividers, Rotman lenses for power splitting and beam-forming. TRIGGER: user asks to design, create, or analyze any coupler, splitter, power divider, combiner, or Rotman lens. Invoke BEFORE writing code — class names and design() availability vary per coupler type. SKIP: EM simulation/S-parameter extraction of an existing component (use matlab-analyze-em), building custom non-catalog geometry (use matlab-assemble-pcb-layout), material/stackup setup only (use matlab-manage-pcb-material), cascading multiple components (use matlab-integrate-pcb-circuit).

Trigger: clean architecture, hexagonal architecture, domain model, state machine, boundary decoupling. Scope: Software modular design, dependency boundaries, architectural layering. Boundary: Excludes frontend aesthetic styling.
