What it does
Design An Interface is an agent skill from ProgrammerAnthony/Anything-Extract. 使用并行子 agent 为某个模块生成多个根本不同的接口设计。适用于用户希望设计某个 API、探索接口选项、对比模块形状（module shapes），或提到“design it twice（把它设计两遍）”。
Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: 高效文档识别&知识库&本地启动，前后端；整合QAnything、dify等思想和源码，快速批量可靠提取文档关键信息并导出. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “design it twice（把它设计两遍）”
- “/design-an-interface”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f1ed557. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Design An Interface loads about 448 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 90 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

设计一个接口（Design an Interface）
基于《A Philosophy of Software Design》里的 “Design It Twice（把它设计两遍）”：你的第一个想法通常不会是最好的。生成多个根本不同的设计方案，然后进行对比。
工作流（Workflow）
1. 收集需求（Gather Requirements）
在开始设计前先理解：
- 这个模块解决什么问题？
- 谁会作为调用方？（其他模块、外部用户、测试）
- 关键操作是什么？
- 有哪些约束？（性能、兼容性、既有模式）
- 应当隐藏什么、暴露什么？
提问：这个模块需要做什么？谁会使用它？
2. 生成设计方案（并行子代理 Parallel Sub-Agents）
使用 Task 工具并行启动 3 个以上的子 agent。每个子 agent 都必须产出**根本不同（radically different）**的方案。
给每个子 agent 的提示模板：
为以下内容设计一个接口：[模块描述]
需求：[已收集到的需求]
为这个设计分配约束：[给每个 agent 设定不同的约束]
- Agent 1: "尽量减少方法数量——目标是最多 1-3 个方法"
- Agent 2: "尽量提升灵活性——支持很多用例"
- Agent 3: "为最常见的场景优化"
- Agent 4: "借鉴 [特定范式/库] 的思路"
输出格式：
1. 接口签名（types/methods）
2. 用法示例（调用方如何使用）
3. 该设计内部隐藏了什么复杂度
4. 采用该方式的取舍（trade-offs）3. 展示设计方案
分别展示每个设计：
- 接口签名：类型、方法、参数
- 使用示例：调用方在实践里如何使用
- 隐藏了什么：将复杂度保留在内部
让用户在对比之前先逐个理解每种方案的含义，因此展示顺序应按方案逐一给出。
4. 对比设计方案
在展示完全部设计后，从这些维度进行对比：
- 接口简洁性：更少的方法、更简单的参数
- 通用型 vs 专用型：灵活性 vs 专注度
- 实现效率：这种形状是否允许高效实现？
- 深度（Depth）：小接口隐藏显著复杂度（好） vs 大接口但实现很薄（坏）
- 正确使用的容易度 vs 被误用的容易度
请用文字（prose）讨论取舍，而不是用表格。重点指出不同设计最分歧的地方。
5. 归纳（Synthesize）
通常最好的设计会融合多个选项的洞见。追问：
- 哪个设计最符合你的主要使用场景？
- 是否有来自其他设计、值得纳入的元素？
评价标准（Evaluation Criteria）
来自《A Philosophy of Software Design》：
- 接口简洁性（Interface simplicity）：方法更少、参数更简单 => 更容易学习与正确使用。
- 通用型（General-purpose）：在不改动接口的前提下能覆盖未来用例。但要警惕过度通用。
- 实现效率（Implementation efficiency）：接口的形状是否能让实现变得高效？还是迫使你在内部做尴尬的权衡？
- 深度（Depth）：小接口隐藏显著复杂度 => 深模块（good）。大接口但实现很薄 => 浅模块（avoid）。
反模式（Anti-Patterns）
- 不要让子 agent 产出相似的设计——要强制根本差异
- 不要跳过对比——对比的价值在于“形成对照”
- 不要去实现——这项工作只关注接口形状
- 不要基于“实现成本/劳动量”去做评价
