> 2. Technical design based on requirements > Kiro then generates a design document by analyzing your codebase and approved spec requirements. It creates data flow diagrams, TypeScript interfaces, database schemas, and API endpoints—like the Review interfaces for our review system. This eliminates the lengthy back-and-forth on requirements clarity that typically slows development.

This is nice for documentation but really having a design document after-the-fact doesn't really help much. Designing is a decision-making process before the code is written.

I read it as after requirements and before code. This is how I would expect it to work too. It reads the existing codebase, which also makes sense for non greenfield projects as in the example.
