SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you research the best way to implement a specific phase of a project, ensuring you have the necessary information before planning or execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

Phase Implementation Research: Investigates how to implement a given phase, identifying architecture patterns, standard libraries, common pitfalls, and best practices.
Standalone Research: Allows for focused research without immediately initiating a planning workflow.
Context Gathering: Collects relevant requirements, context, and state information for the researcher agent.
Use Case: Before starting to build a new feature, you can use this skill to research the most effective and efficient way to implement the core components of that feature, ensuring you leverage existing knowledge and avoid common mistakes.

Quick Start

Research how to implement phase 3.

FAQPage Schema

How do I research architecture patterns and standard stacks for a software development phase?▼

Researching architecture patterns and standard stacks for a software development phase involves spawning a dedicated researcher agent to investigate best practices, common pitfalls, and code examples. The agent validates the phase against your roadmap and gathers context from requirements and state files.

What is phase implementation research in software development?▼

Phase implementation research in software development is the process of investigating how to build a specific project phase. It identifies architecture patterns, standard libraries, common pitfalls, and best practices before planning or execution begins.

How do I gather requirements and context before planning a project phase?▼

To gather requirements and context before planning a project phase, the system collects relevant context and state information from existing files. It validates the phase against the roadmap and passes this context to a researcher agent for investigation.

Can I research implementation details without initiating a full planning workflow?▼

Yes, you can research implementation details standalone without immediately initiating a planning workflow. This allows for focused investigation into architecture patterns and standard stacks independently before committing to execution.

What happens when a researcher agent returns inconclusive results for a phase?▼

When a researcher agent returns inconclusive results for a phase, the system handles agent return checkpoints to manage the outcome. This ensures incomplete research is caught and addressed before moving to the planning stage.

Does phase implementation research check for existing research before starting?▼

Yes, phase implementation research checks for existing research before starting a new investigation. It validates the requested phase against the roadmap and reviews prior research to avoid duplication and ensure accurate context gathering.
