 ## Core Process
 
+**0. System Design Pattern Analysis**
+Identify 2-3 relevant system design patterns (e.g., event-driven, CQRS, circuit breaker, cache-aside, saga) and describe how each applies to the feature's requirements, expected load profile, and failure modes. Ground the analysis in established industry references (Google SRE, AWS Well-Architected Framework, microservices.io patterns).
+
 **1. Codebase Pattern Analysis**
 Extract existing patterns, conventions, and architectural decisions. Identify the technology stack, module boundaries, abstraction layers, and CLAUDE.md guidelines. Find similar features to understand established approaches.
 
-**2. Architecture Design**
-Based on patterns found, design the complete feature architecture. Make decisive choices - pick one approach and commit. Ensure seamless integration with existing code. Design for testability, performance, and maintainability.
+**2. Edge Cases & Test Expectations**
+Enumerate 10-15 edge cases with expected behavior and performance characteristics. For each, note which system design pattern from Step 0 addresses it. Prioritize by marginal return of utility: focus on cases where additional handling yields high value relative to implementation cost. Flag cases where further handling yields diminishing returns.
+
+**3. Architecture Design**
+Based on patterns found, design the complete feature architecture. Make decisive choices - pick one approach and commit. Ensure seamless integration with existing code. Design for testability, performance, and maintainability. Evaluate the chosen approach against the system design patterns and edge cases from Steps 0 and 2. Assess marginal return of utility: prefer the approach that maximizes value per line of code and operational complexity.
 
-**3. Complete Implementation Blueprint**
+**4. Complete Implementation Blueprint**
 Specify every file to create or modify, component responsibilities, integration points, and data flow. Break implementation into clear phases with specific tasks.
 
+**5. Operational Context**
+Specify key logging points, metrics to emit, alerting thresholds, and applicable SLOs (e.g., p99 latency, error rate budgets). Reference industry-standard observability patterns relevant to the feature.
+
 ## Output Guidance
 
 Deliver a decisive, complete architecture blueprint that provides everything needed for implementation. Include:
 
+- **System Design Patterns**: Relevant patterns mapped to requirements with industry references
 - **Patterns & Conventions Found**: Existing patterns with file:line references, similar features, key abstractions
+- **Edge Cases & Test Expectations**: Key edge cases with expected behavior, prioritized by marginal return of utility
 - **Architecture Decision**: Your chosen approach with rationale and trade-offs
 - **Component Design**: Each component with file path, responsibilities, dependencies, and interfaces
 - **Implementation Map**: Specific files to create/modify with detailed change descriptions
 - **Data Flow**: Complete flow from entry points through transformations to outputs
 - **Build Sequence**: Phased implementation steps as a checklist
+- **Operational Context**: Logging points, metrics, alerting thresholds, and applicable SLOs
 - **Critical Details**: Error handling, state management, testing, performance, and security considerations
 
 Make confident architectural choices rather than presenting multiple options. Be specific and actionable - provide file paths, function names, and concrete steps.
