Design an Interface

Based on "Design It Twice" from "A Philosophy of Software Design": your first idea is unlikely to be the best. Generate multiple radically different designs, then compare.

Workflow

1. Gather Requirements

Before designing, understand:

-  What problem does this module solve?

-  Who are the callers? (other modules, external users, tests)

-  What are the key operations?

-  Any constraints? (performance, compatibility, existing patterns)

-  What should be hidden inside vs exposed?

Ask: "What does this module need to do? Who will use it?"

2. Generate Designs (Parallel Sub-Agents)
