SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you thoroughly investigate a codebase to understand the feasibility and implications of proposed changes, new technologies, or architectural directions before committing to them.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Feasibility Analysis: Evaluates the impact and effort required to implement a proposed change.
  • Architecture Mapping: Understands the current structure and data flow of a codebase.
  • Pattern Identification: Analyzes existing patterns and conventions to assess compatibility with new ideas.
  • Use Case: Before adopting a new database technology, use this Skill to analyze your current architecture, identify integration points, and understand potential challenges.

Quick Start

Use the mine.research skill to investigate the proposal to add SQLite persistence to the application.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze a codebase before proposing new architectural changes?▼

Codebase analysis evaluates proposed architectural changes by mapping current structure, identifying existing patterns, and assessing compatibility to determine the impact and effort required before implementation.

What is a feasibility study for software architecture?▼

A feasibility study for software architecture investigates the implications of proposed changes by mapping data flow, evaluating integration points, and producing a structured research brief to understand potential challenges before committing.

How do I evaluate technical debt before adopting a new technology?▼

Evaluating technical debt before adopting new technology involves analyzing existing codebase patterns and conventions to assess compatibility, identify integration points, and understand the potential challenges of the proposed change.

Can I use codebase research to generate an Architecture Decision Record?▼

Yes, codebase research produces a structured research brief that maps current architecture and evaluates proposals, which directly feeds into Architecture Decision Records and subsequent plan mode execution.

What is the best way to assess the impact of a new database technology on my application?▼

The best way to assess new database technology impact is to analyze your current architecture, identify integration points, and evaluate potential challenges using parallel subagents to probe the proposal and produce a research brief.

When should I conduct a feasibility analysis of my codebase?▼

Conduct a feasibility analysis before committing to proposed changes, new patterns, or architectural directions to thoroughly understand the implications, integration points, and potential technical debt involved.
