SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Researching a feature requires context from codebase and external patterns; this skill streamlines discovery to produce a compact artifact that informs planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel Codebase Exploration: scans relevant modules to map dependencies and boundaries.
  • Web Pattern Research: surveys external patterns and best practices to validate or challenge codebase approaches.
  • Artifact Synthesis: combines findings into a concise plan-oriented document for drafting and implementation.

Quick Start

Provide the feature description and context, and I will run parallel codebase and web research to generate a compact artifact.

Frequently Asked Questions about research

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I research codebase dependencies for feature planning?▼

Codebase research for feature planning involves scanning relevant modules to map dependencies and boundaries. This skill coordinates parallel codebase exploration to identify investigation areas and produce an actionable artifact.

What is the best way to combine codebase exploration with web research?▼

Combining codebase exploration with web research runs both in parallel to survey external patterns and validate internal approaches. This synthesizes findings into a concise plan-oriented document for drafting and implementation.

How do I scope investigation areas for a new software feature?▼

Scoping investigation areas for a new software feature requires identifying relevant codebase modules and external web research topics. The process generates a compact artifact that highlights open questions and risks.

Do I need to provide context before running parallel codebase research?▼

You need to provide the feature description and context to run parallel codebase and web research. Supplying this input allows the process to generate a compact, actionable research artifact.

How does artifact synthesis guide software implementation and drafting?▼

Artifact synthesis guides software implementation by combining codebase and web research findings into a concise document. This plan-oriented artifact directs drafting steps while explicitly highlighting open questions and risks.
