SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deep technical research and structured briefing for /ship, ensuring API/stack considerations, architecture decisions, and dependencies are identified before committing to stories.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured briefing: generates a comprehensive technical briefing with concrete APIs, packages, and data models.
  • Stack-aware planning: detects existing project markers to constrain recommendations to the current tech stack.
  • Iterative refinement: supports refine mode, Q&A, and web research to produce an actionable plan.

Quick Start

Invoke the presearch skill with a topic to generate a structured technical briefing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a technical brief with API shapes and data models before starting development?

To generate a technical brief, invoke presearch with a topic to produce a structured briefing containing concrete API shapes, exact package versions, data models, dependency lists, and environment variables for Gemini synthesis.

What is stack-aware architecture planning and how does it constrain dependency recommendations?

Stack-aware architecture planning detects existing project markers like package.json and CLAUDE.md to constrain technical recommendations to the current tech stack, ensuring generated briefings match your repository's established dependencies.

Can I refine a technical research briefing to get deeper or quicker architecture results?

You can refine technical research briefings using optional modes such as --deep for comprehensive analysis, --quick for faster results, and --no-ship, alongside iterative Q&A and web research to produce an actionable plan.

What's the best way to define SDKs and architecture patterns for a new project structure?

The best way to define SDKs and architecture patterns is generating a structured technical briefing that includes a greenfield or project structure outline, exact package names, and dependency lists tailored for Gemini synthesis.

Does presearch work with existing repositories that have package.json and CLAUDE.md files?

Yes, presearch works with existing repositories by scanning for markers like package.json and CLAUDE.md to seed constraints, automatically tailoring API, SDK, and dependency recommendations to your current project stack.

When should I not use automated technical research for architecture decisions?

You should avoid automated technical research when your project lacks defined markers like package.json or CLAUDE.md for stack constraints, or when you need immediate code generation rather than a comprehensive pre-ship structured briefing.
