Engineering Design Document Agent

A complete, accurate design document that matches the real design

Engineering Design Document Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Design documentation is usually written last and rushed, so it misses details the next engineer needs. This agent drafts the design document from the actual design files: architecture, key decisions and why, interfaces, power and timing, and known limitations. It pulls values from the schematic, bill of materials and test results so the document matches reality. It checks the draft against your template for required sections. Where it cannot find something, such as the reason for a design choice, it asks the engineer a specific question and fills the gap after the answer. It then cross-checks every value against the latest schematic. You approve the document for release. Edge case: a value in an older note that conflicts with the latest schematic is flagged, because the design may have changed since.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

Read the steps as a list
  1. Design reaches a documentation milestone
  2. Read the schematic, bill of materials and test results
  3. Draft each template section from the design files
  4. Is every required section supported by the design files?If not: flag the gap with a question to the engineer and fill it after the answer. Back to step 3.
  5. Cross-check every value against the latest schematic
  6. Do all values match the current design?If not: flag each conflict and use the schematic value. Back to step 5.
  7. Prepare the document and a list of open items for review
  8. Engineer approves the documentThe agent waits here for your OK.
  9. Design document released

How it decides

It fills the template from the design files and flags any required section it cannot support with a source rather than inventing content.

  • Pull values from source files, not memory
  • Flag missing rationale rather than inventing it
  • Flag values that conflict with the latest design

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Documentation template and sections
  • Source files to pull from
  • Detail level
  • Review and release process

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Releasing the design document

Hard limits

  • Does not invent decisions or values
  • Does not release without approval

It stops when

  • Done: document complete and approved
  • Stop: design files are not accessible

An example run

What happensAt the Rev D milestone of a pump controller at Calloway Engineering, the agent drafted the document from the schematic and test results. The template check failed on one section: no reason for the input filter choice. It asked the engineer and added the answer. The value check found a 12V note against a 15V schematic, so it used the schematic value. The engineer approved release.
