# Step 6.2: Create Design Delivery

**Goal:** Package complete testable flow into Design Delivery YAML file

---

## Purpose

Create a Design Delivery file that serves as the contract between design and development.

This file documents:
- What's being delivered
- Why it matters (user value)
- What's included (scenarios, components)
- How to implement (technical requirements)
- How to validate (acceptance criteria)

---

## Before You Start

**Ensure you have:**

- ✅ Completed step 6.1 (flow is complete)
- ✅ All scenario specifications ready
- ✅ All component definitions ready
- ✅ Clear understanding of user value

---

## Instructions

Execute the following substeps in sequence to build the Design Delivery file:

### Substep 1: Initialize Delivery File

Load, read completely, then execute:
`substeps/6.2-substeps/01-initialize-delivery.md`

This substep will:
- Choose delivery ID (DD-XXX format)
- Copy template
- Fill out basic metadata

### Substep 2: Define User Value

Load, read completely, then execute:
`substeps/6.2-substeps/02-define-user-value.md`

This substep will:
- Define problem being solved
- Define solution provided
- Define success criteria

### Substep 3: List Design Artifacts

Load, read completely, then execute:
`substeps/6.2-substeps/03-list-artifacts.md`

This substep will:
- List all scenarios included
- List user flows
- List design system components used

### Substep 4: Define Technical Requirements

Load, read completely, then execute:
`substeps/6.2-substeps/04-define-technical.md`

This substep will:
- Specify platform/tech stack
- List integrations needed
- Define data models
- Set performance requirements

### Substep 5: Define Acceptance Criteria

Load, read completely, then execute:
`substeps/6.2-substeps/05-define-acceptance.md`

This substep will:
- List functional requirements
- List non-functional requirements
- Define edge cases to handle

### Substep 6: Add Testing Guidance

Load, read completely, then execute:
`substeps/6.2-substeps/06-add-testing-guidance.md`

This substep will:
- Define user testing approach
- Define QA testing scope
- Define design validation checks

### Substep 7: Estimate Complexity

Load, read completely, then execute:
`substeps/6.2-substeps/07-estimate-complexity.md`

This substep will:
- Estimate size and effort
- Identify dependencies
- Document assumptions
- Assess risk level

---

## Critical Rules

- 🛑 **NEVER** load multiple substeps simultaneously
- 📖 **ALWAYS** read entire substep file before execution
- 🚫 **NEVER** skip substeps or optimize the sequence
- 🎯 **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in each substep

---

## Validation

Before proceeding, verify:

- [ ] Delivery ID is unique and follows format
- [ ] All required fields are filled
- [ ] All scenarios are referenced
- [ ] All components are listed
- [ ] Technical requirements are clear
- [ ] Acceptance criteria are testable
- [ ] Complexity estimate is realistic

---

## Next Step

After Design Delivery file is complete:

<output>✅ Design Delivery file created: `deliveries/DD-XXX-name.yaml`</output>

<action>Load and execute: step-6.3-create-test-scenario.md</action>

Do NOT skip ahead.

---

## Success Metrics

✅ Design Delivery file created
✅ All required fields filled
✅ All scenarios and components referenced
✅ Technical requirements documented
✅ Acceptance criteria defined
✅ Testing guidance provided
✅ Complexity estimated

**Remember:** This Design Delivery is the contract between design and development. Be thorough!
