SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps Plenum contributors turn uncertain bug theories and design ideas into evidence-backed results by enforcing a rigorous research process before changes are accepted.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-Driven Investigation: Establishes mechanisms, predictions, falsification tests, and acceptance criteria for debugging and design decisions.
  • Experiment Discipline: Guides sandbox usage, measurement hygiene, restart testing, timezone validation, and simulated versus real HVAC verification.
  • Research Lifecycle Support: Structures the path from hunch to issue, experiment, pull request, documentation, or documented retirement for Plenum engineering work.

Quick Start

Use the plenum-research-methodology skill to validate my suspected Plenum bug mechanism and define the evidence needed before submitting a fix.

Frequently Asked Questions about plenum-research-methodology

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate my HVAC software bug theory before submitting a fix?▼

To validate an HVAC software bug theory, establish a mechanism, define numeric predictions, run falsification tests, and complete sandbox validation before submitting a fix. This research methodology ensures your bug theory is backed by evidence.

What is evidence-driven research methodology for HVAC debugging?▼

Evidence-driven HVAC debugging requires mechanism verification, numeric predictions, and adversarial refutation. It transforms uncertain bug theories into proven engineering results by demanding proof before accepting any software changes.

How do I structure experiments to test HVAC design ideas?▼

Structure HVAC design idea experiments by using sandboxes, maintaining measurement hygiene, performing restart testing, and validating timezones. Compare simulated versus real HVAC verification to ensure reliable design results.

Do I need sandbox validation for Plenum engineering investigations?▼

Yes, sandbox validation is required for Plenum engineering investigations. You must verify mechanisms in a sandbox and complete acceptance checklists to ensure your debugging and design changes produce reliable results.

What is the best way to document the retirement of an HVAC bug theory?▼

The best way to document the retirement of an HVAC bug theory is through the research lifecycle. Document the failed adversarial refutation and sandbox validation results to formally retire the design idea or bug theory.
