SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides you through a disciplined research process to define technical solutions that are scalable, secure, and maintainable, reducing risk and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-driven research: clearly define scope, gather information from diverse sources, and evaluate sources against recency and authority.
  • Information synthesis: identify patterns, trade-offs, and risk implications; align with YAGNI, KISS, and DRY principles.
  • Output & planning: translate findings into actionable architecture and a robust evaluation plan.

Quick Start

Example task: "Research a scalable authentication strategy for a fintech API and generate a 1-page implementation plan with recommended sources."

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a multi-source technical research process for architecture decisions?

Technical research uses a phased methodology to gather information from official docs, GitHub repositories, and trusted blogs, then synthesizes findings into actionable architecture decisions. This Skill automates that process, enforcing source evaluation against recency and authority to reduce design risk.

What's the best way to evaluate scalability and security trade-offs when choosing a solution?

Structured research identifies patterns, trade-offs, and risk implications across multiple sources, then aligns recommendations with YAGNI, KISS, and DRY principles. The result is a documented evaluation plan that balances scalability, security, and maintainability.

How do I turn research findings into an implementation plan?

This Skill translates research synthesis into actionable output: a structured report with recommended sources and a robust architecture plan. It standardizes the conversion from gathered information to decision-ready documentation.

Can I use this research process for security and fintech contexts?

Yes. This Skill applies to engineering, security, and architecture teams. It's designed for literature reviews, technology evaluations, and solution design across regulated and high-stakes domains like fintech authentication and security strategy.

What sources does this research process evaluate?

The research process gathers and evaluates information from official documentation, GitHub repositories, and trusted technical blogs. Source assessment focuses on recency and authority to ensure recommendations rest on current, credible foundations.
