SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Source evaluation and research methodology for code and architecture decisions. It governs how to find answers and which sources to trust, ensuring research prioritizes industry best practice, idiomatic implementations, and authoritative sources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authority Hierarchy: establish a Tier 1-3 source framework to guide decision-making.
  • Structured Reporting: produce research.md with a sources section and clear attributions.
  • Domain Guidance: map findings to related skills (API Design, Rust, TypeScript, Web Security) for domain-specific choices.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to outline a research plan to evaluate two candidate libraries for a new feature.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate unfamiliar code patterns and architecture decisions against industry best practices?

To evaluate code patterns and architecture decisions, apply a rigorous research methodology that prioritizes industry best practices and idiomatic implementations using a defined source hierarchy. This ensures your architectural choices are validated against authoritative standards.

What is the best way to research and compare candidate libraries for a new software feature?

The best way to compare candidate libraries is to outline a structured research plan that evaluates them against an established source authority hierarchy. This methodical analysis produces a research.md report with clear attributions for standards-compliant decision-making.

How do I structure a research report for software architecture evaluations?

Structure your architecture evaluation research report as a research.md file containing a dedicated sources section with clear attributions. This structured reporting format satisfies standards-compliant sourcing requirements for methodical code analysis.

Which sources should I trust when choosing between different code patterns and libraries?

When choosing code patterns and libraries, trust sources defined by a Tier 1-3 authority hierarchy framework. This source evaluation methodology ensures research prioritizes industry best practices and authoritative implementations across software projects.

Can I use this research methodology to evaluate domain-specific architectural choices like API design and web security?

Yes, you can evaluate domain-specific architectural choices like API Design, Rust, TypeScript, and Web Security. The research methodology maps findings to related domain skills, guiding specialized library and pattern selection.
