SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents teams from rebuilding existing solutions by providing a structured way to understand a technology or methodology landscape before committing to a new work area.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Landscape Research: Guides targeted discovery of open-source tools, commercial products, frameworks, standards, and prior art in a chosen domain.
  • Fit Assessment: Classifies findings as Adopt, Reference, or Ignore to support informed decisions about what to use or build.
  • Decision Documentation: Produces concise survey reports with gaps, opportunities, and recommendations for new work lanes.

Quick Start

Use the lane survey skill to research the available tools and approaches for a new work lane before starting implementation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I do a prior art survey before building new technology?

To do a prior art survey, research existing open-source tools, commercial products, and frameworks in your domain, then classify findings as Adopt, Reference, or Ignore to document gaps and recommendations.

What is technology landscape evaluation and when do I need it?

Technology landscape evaluation maps existing tools and approaches in a domain to prevent duplicating solutions. You need it before committing resources to create a new work lane or building new technology territories.

How do I evaluate existing tools and frameworks to decide what to build vs adopt?

Evaluate existing tools by conducting targeted discovery of prior art, classifying each finding's fit as Adopt, Reference, or Ignore, and documenting gaps and opportunities to determine what requires new implementation.

Can I use this for adjacent framework reviews and new lane creation decisions?

Yes, you can use this structured research process for adjacent framework reviews and new lane creation decisions. It guides fit classification and concise documentation of findings to support informed build decisions.

What is the best way to document technology research findings for my team?

The best way to document technology research is to produce concise survey reports covering discovered tools, identified gaps, opportunities, and recommendations for new work lanes, ensuring informed decision support.

Why should I survey a technology landscape before starting implementation?

You should survey a technology landscape before implementation to avoid rebuilding existing solutions. Structured prior-art analysis reveals existing tools and frameworks, preventing duplicated effort and guiding new work lane creation.
